Question: how much does it cost to run a laptop for an hour?
Answer: Electricity ranges from about 10 cents per KWH to 20 cents in the US. A year is 8760 hours. So the laptop on 24/7 would cost $32.40 at 10 cents and $64.80 per year at 20 cents. The desktop on 100% full power 24/7 would cost about $193 to $386.
