Laptops might make good low power Media Server. My Chromebook Linux laptop uses less than 10W

I converted an old chromebook i5 8th gen intel into a linux plex media server.
Running tests.. when in usage with my 2.5" external hard drive.. it only consumes less then 10W of electricity
If I run the chromebook in linux idle... it uses less then 6W of electricity.
I was surprised.. but an intel chromebook laptop converted to linux was a good low power alternative media server. When using a sff dell pc.. I was using around 25-30W of electricity. Idle was about 20W.
