Sp My desktop which has a Ryzen 5 5600x + 3070ti uses roughly 80 to 90 watts during idle and peaks to 130 to 160 watts sometimes when I open Chrome and do stuff (monitor power consumption included). To reduce some power consumption I thought to use the laptop and connected it to the monitor for programming. But my Ryzen 5 5600u + 3050 laptop during idle uses 70 ish watts in idle and peaks to 110 to 130 watts(monitor power consumption included) which is close to the usage of the desktop. I am curious to know how. I thought my laptop would consume significantly less power than the desktop. Kindly help. Thanks.

Could be because the Ryzen 5 5600u also has onboard graphics that can work or be used with the 3050. You can try to go into the BIOS on the laptop and disable the iGPU on the Ryzen 5 5600u.

Then there might be a way to disable the 3050 in the BIOS.
