You are using a computer that sounds like a jet engine and you are 
worried about power consumption? :)

It is sort of a funny statement all around. Data centers spend lots of 
money on power and air conditioning where one begets the other. so I am 
not sure why one wouldnt care about power. I am curious, what power 
related thing is making your G7 "not work well"?
