Fair, to each their own. For me, it is occasional gaming, mostly stuff that is a few years old and/or not from the big studios. Plus some light CAD, video editing and messing around with Cuda once a year or so. Still, unless you want to play the latest and greatest, or want to play in >1080p, it mostly just works while using about 100W with a mild overclock.
