Checking your setup, the Ryzen 5 5600x + 3070ti draws about 80-90 watts when idle and spikes to 130-160 watts when using Chrome or similar apps. Switching to your laptop for programming brings it down to around 70 watts in idle and 110-130 watts under load, matching the desktop's consumption. It seems both devices perform similarly in power use despite differences in specs. Let me know if you need further clarification.

It might be due to the Ryzen 5 5600u having its own built-in graphics that function alongside the 3050. You could attempt to access the BIOS on the laptop and turn off the iGPU in the Ryzen 5 5600u.

There could be a method to turn off the 3050 setting within the BIOS.
