It's too much power draw for me.

This. Even a cheap alibaba n100 would be way better on Power than pretty much any laptop.

Quick computation for Seattle, powering a typical laptop consuming 20W to run say an IoT server, 24/7 at 14 cents/kwh would cost about $25/year. A Pi 4 would be about 1/10th of that.
