Sheesh. So the only way is to settle on a few cpu models and search for reviews that have measured the actual power consumption?

Even that is specific to that chip/mobo/PSU/Case/CPU cooler setup. So unless you match what was used in the article your mileage will vary a lot.

Sad but true, 35W should translate to less power usage than 65W.

Still waiting for Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 which appears to be at the sweet spot for battery life, power and size.

I don't think reviewers measure it. It's essentially just an average power draw under real-world load at this point.
