      Honestly I think the power bills would be similar with similar performance hardware, because you have to take into account battery losses with laptops.

      that’s fair that you don’t have the space though

      Just turn the computer off when you’re not using it.

      If it’s because of bills then you’re not gonna see a significant increase in power consumption from just a computer.

      If it’s because of your grid or home circuits, you have bigger problems. Washing machines and refrigerators are a big draw when the motors kick on and everything’s just fine. Hell, incandescent lightbulbs draw 100w.

      Source: when I’m worried about power draw I use a kill a watt for a month on the thing I’m worried about.
