Default replacing halogen lamps

There's something that could do with creative regulation, why do PCs
use 50-100W when laptops use 15W (including the screen!).


The desktops frequently don't use 50-100W if set up properly with the energy
saving options implemented. Set it to halt the processor on idle, shut off
the screen and power down the disks and it won't eat that much more than a
laptop.
