When I upgraded my PC I gave special consideration to the power consumption of the system.
The kind of games I play do not require a 600W power source, so I went with a AMD Ryzen laptop with a 65W power brick.
It is quiet, doesn't warm up much and I can take it with me anywhere. I'm very happy with my choice.
Hey, Ryzen APUs can make for a pretty nice gaming experience! Glad you enjoy it
