I'm curious how much heat this thing puts off, and whether there are particular display types that generate more heat than others.

Yeah it does emit a bit of heat. I think around one or two hundred watts? I haven't measured it directly. I have a mini split air conditioner in my home office.

The comment above has very wrong numbers, by the way, typical consumption for the whole device should around or less than what that poster claims is drawn just by the CPU!

The 'climate alarmism' / 'EV' HN crowd will run screaming around their place, b/c 'oh mind your privileged carbon footprint'.

Oh wait, it is about 'dev related-tech'? So no worries then! Only when people drive / travel, they get scrutinized by the woke energy mob.

Nothing compares to the old school large dell lcds. I had one years ago that was a furnace.
