I don't get why people exaggerate this much. I have a laptop with a 7840hs and 32gb of ram so it's also "overpowered" but it's whisper quiet and consumes 30-45w while doing simple tasks. Consumption only increases if I'm running code, playing games, etc which makes total sense.
Windows is not a well optimized os and the telemetry sucks but you're just flat out lying with your claims. It's either that or your laptop has the worst possible cooling.
