I think you may have taken the output many laptop's power supplies are rated for as their average power draw. A slightly newer, but still pretty old (2015) laptop of mine, draws 5w from the wall at idle and maybe 30w under load. It's idle 95% of the time and the screen is always off. I'd say an average of 6w throughout the year which ends up being under £15 a year in power use. You also have to consider that this laptop is serving a website too, if I stopped it, I would have to pay for a VPS too.
I must admit though, I looked at google workspace and assumed all email hosting was about £5 a month. I didn't realise it was that cheap 😅 Who are you using?
Sorry if that seemed a bit blunt, it wasn't supposed to be. Thank you for even taking the trouble to reply 😊
