  No they are not. If you get one with a special low power CPU they can be about the same, but that very much depends on the exact model.

    the intel alder lake-n and twin lake-n have some chips with very low tdp… basically just the “e cores” from a desktop cpu, drawing as little as 6w tdp. nice chips if you don’t need the raw compute power of the desktop’s performance cores. they make for nice little servers and laptops for ‘normal’ users.

    I’d likely be running it with the lid closed 95% of the time

      AFAIK that is a problem for some Macs, which need the lid open for ventilation. Check where it exhausts.

      I disagree with OP though, display-off laptops are very power efficient and even have a built in UPS.

        You can disable the builtin display or just get rid of it physically

  Yes, especially since they don’t have a display.
