   Correct, but you have to look hard to find that information before buying.   
      
   My always-on machine which does mail server / monitoring / mqtt and lots of   
   other light stuff together with a desktop for when I don't need the big   
   machine is an Intel NUC D34010 - 16GB RAM, SATA SSD, uses about 5W when   
   sitting idle at the desktop (measured).   
      
   I configured fancontrol so that the fan is stopped as long as the CPU is   
   below 60°C (which is normally is).   
      
   The i3 is fast enough for normal use (I use debian with XFCE). I have a Pi   
   5, which feels sluggish on the desktop in comparison.
