Okay, ran same test again, without the mouse receiver, this time the Toshiba died first, but only 7 minutes before the Asus.
Keep in mind the Tosh was running just a bit brighter, so the battery life is about even on these two, or the Toshiba might have a bit more. This means the Asus is a bit more efficient, since it has 500 less mAh to work with.
The Toshiba has faster memory access...if you start the movie, then close it and start it again (so that it loads from RAM), the Toshiba always gets there first. This might account for some of the extra power consumption.
