It would be nice to see the idle power numbers, including the motherboard. A lot of the time I'm using my home PC for light tasks (browsing, listening to music, etc). The idle power is likely to dominate unless doing heavy processing tasks or gaming.

Also would be great if a Linux-focused outlet would mention whether the power saving features of the platform work at all. The difference between the idle power of a platform that reaches deep package sleep states and one that doesn't is very large.
