How are you measuring that? I've been scouring the web for low-idle-power builds and 3.5 watts is far below the best builds I've found (assuming that 3.5 watts is measured at-the-wall).

The futro S740, popular with selfhosters in Germany, gets similar wattage for people [0]. On a slightly older CPU (J4105).
I can't measure values below 10W myself, but with 2 SSDs and 8GB RAM it never goes above that value, even under full load.

I've measured about 5w from the wall with Pentium J5005 based Dell thin client which has a tiny fan, one SSD, two RAM modules. No idea how N100 compares to J5005.

N100 runs slightly hotter, I've seen it more like 6-8W
Just a cheap measurement adapter you plug between the wall and cable.
The nice thing about n100 Is its ability to disable the iGPU in the bios, saving you a little bit of power. But you have to reset the bios on the board to regain any output if you might need it later.
