Computers In standby mode, a typical desktop computer may use less than 10 watts per hour as opposed to more than 200 watts per hour if it's engaged in heavy use (?Rigg?). I have currently one computer in my house, but my brother owns a laptop also. My computer or desktop is used pretty much ? of the day but is kept on usually all day and night, with the computer monitor turned off.
