It idles at 6 W. Light load is 8 W. On startup and heavier load, it will draw up to about 16 W and then settle back down to 6-8 W.
With a you tube running it's up to 11watts.
I just fired up Geekbench6 and it's now at 16watts - I thought it would be higher, as I've lifted the power limit in the BIOS to 30watts and I have a cheap aluminum heatsink sitting on it. I'm pretty happy with the Mele4c - although I have hit a strange bug in windows that locks the MHz to 400 regardless of temp and only cycling sleep states fixes it. But yeah, it seems the N100 and N150 are leaps ahead of the N97 in power draw. I've been really impressed.
Oh, forgot to add. Totally idle with no screen plugged in, it it drops to 3W. It seems to use slightly more power (about a watt) on the USBC-PD port (which is runs at 19V) han on the USB-C 12V port, which it actually seems to want to run at 9V.

If it's shipped by Amazon does it make a difference?
And it's pro. How can that be profitable for them? I am expected a bootleg version or some crazy spyware/crypto miner.

So I dunno. I have two of these machines (Paladyn and Beelink). First thing I do is complete wipe and reinstall using windows media creator image of a clean Windows download from Microsoft. Unless malware is baked in the firmware/root kitted, both machine reactivated just fine.
