Someone told me that laptops use more power than desktop PCs and I could see how that would be true. I thought maybe inefficiency in charging the battery could lead to power loss, but the components are all low watt, so I still couldn't figure out how that would work. Any truth to this? I also wasn't sure if they meant a top of the line desktop hog vs a standard laptop, or if they were comparing a crippled Dell with integrated video vs a laptop.
I'm looking at either getting a laptop or a desktop as my next primary computer. I don't really care about taking the computer out of my house, but I thought it would be nice to have a computer I could fold up and put away, so I wouldn't need a designated desk for it. My other consideration is having a really low power consumption computer for my primary use, to try and reduce my overall energy budget.
