Consider buying a notebook PC, rather than a less-efficient desktop. Because notebooks are designed to run on batteries, they’re equipped with chips and drives that draw less power. Indeed, I stopped using my desktop PC 99% of the time after I obtained a decent laptop. On the plus side I can take it with me whenever I travel.

Anybody know, does a laptop power supply draw power when the laptop isn't plugged in?
