I can top that! The laptop my college gave me is powered by an Intel Celeron clocked to 1.10Ghz...because reasons...

I tried underclocking my i5 for fun. I got it down to one core, 1.055 GHz. I unplugged my graphics card as well, and my pc was pulling 12 watts at idle.

Oh god back in the day I use to have to fix those fuckers all the time when i did time in the trenches (ie pc repair shop) in the end i started to refuse cause they tie up too much bench time. and are so cheap how do you tell some one it cost $300 to fix but $250 to buy! Thank god for tablets..

Well, that's because sony is going mental with this thing. Adding simcard slot, GPS, accelerometer, trackball, and shit like those.
I have tablets too, a Blackberry Playbook. But i prefer my VAIOs, be it's the P, UX, X or the Pro :D

Because our campus was cheap and gave us refurbed netbooks with pirated copies of Windoze 7...

LOL. My laptop pulls 60+ watts at idle...

When my GPU is plugged in and the CPU is running with all four cores at stock speeds it pulls about 140 watts on idle. At max load for the GPU and CPU it pulls 490 watts.

That's pretty respectable. I've never actually checked my power usage while gaming, but my power adapter brick is only 300W, I'd hope it isn't maxed out.

It's a laptop. I'd expect it to be much lower, otherwise you'd get some melting going on. Considering the size of the cooler on my graphics card, and it still gets up to around 80 Celsius.

What's that, a Radeon? R9?

Good guessing! It's an R9 290. I bought it because it was the sexiest card in my price range.
