As title says. I think my PC is using like a max of 500w when it’s juicing but idles for less. I was thinking of using an ecoflow high grade setup for this. Anyone have experience doing something similar?

I might switch to a small micro tower setup by Dell or Lenovo that uses like 120w max. The new Mac minis seem to cap out at 39w though which is crazy.

    Even if the CPU has the same clockspeed between desktop/laptop, the desktops usually have better thermals whereas the laptops throttle early. Although not the only one, Mac is notorious for advertising their maximum clock speed which is never achieved for more than a split second in reality. I’m not too knowledgeable about the replaceable parts on a Mac desktop but that’s a general strength of desktops too. YMMV.
