Try rereading my comment. Your M1's 40 W total power is not special, the 6800U does that with roughly the same performance.
My 7 year old i7 laptop used 5 W idling with a few applications open and the screen at max brightness. I don't know what a modern non-Apple laptop uses when watching video, but 10 W seems about right.
