My [relatively inexpensive] laptop has a Core 2 Duo, 2GB of ram, 160GB disk, 13" LCD, full size keyboard, wifi, cdrom, etc, etc. It takes 14W at idle (according to ACPI as read by intel's powertop).
How exactly is an underfeatured, headless, woefully underpowered computer where the CPU alone takes 8W a "green" idea? I could see if the entire box took less than a Watt to get all excited. But honestly, you can drop $500 on this, or $900 [with tax, in Ontario...] on a laptop that is actually a complete computer as opposed to a headless box.

Oh and I run Ubuntu. :-)
