10W? Look at this baby, the whole system is running on solar power and
doesn’t even need external power sources:

Pricing is also very accessible.
Seriously, you can’t compare a high end CPU with a raspberry pi
looking only at the power consumption ;-)

Modern motherboards are capable to reduce the CPU power consumption to
12 W [1], when there are no computation intensive tasks. So improving
data quality at the source would benefit the high end systems too.
