You guys are crazy. What a waste. Heavy machines, power hungry machines. How much carbon is spent to deliver and run these? What an environmental waste!

But I'm a greybeard; this is well-established.
And while I'm missing many of my favorite modern apps, for many tasks the productivity is still unequalled: near-instant bootup, hugely responsive, and a beautiful elegant operating system.
It's all nice, but my machine's power adapter is 60W. That's its maximal theoretical output. (okay, with 90% efficiency that's 67W). It typically uses 20W to 40W depending on the load.
Plus, it auto-sleeps. Then it consumes just about 1W. Talk about efficiency.
Transport costs for an Octane aren't that high, and considering the time you're running it and the increased power hunger of contemporary machines means that your average yearly carbon footprint is the equivalent of one tween doing a single WoW raid (or heck, waiting for said event).
