my new laptop consumes more power at idle than some of my older desktops ( measured by Kill A Watt meter )

it pulls like 60W at idle and is always blowing hot air out of its 4 exhaust vents ( ramps up to 180W with 250W peaks while gaming )

come on man !

it runs Ryzen 9 7945HX and RTX 4090 Laptop ...

whoever advertises these parts as laptop parts is full of shit. i wouldn't dream of unplugging this thing from the wall for an extended period of time.

even in the "silent" mode the fans are always loud. gaming in performance mode is only possible using noise canceling Bose headphones.

the laptop is Asus Zephyrus 16 DUO ...

the sad part is others are even worse ...

sadly the 18" Razer Blade was in-between models when i needed a laptop. i think that's the only one with enough cooling for high-end hardware.
