This is a good point. AMD might actually be interesting here, at least on paper, because AM4 can be used without a chipset (A300, X300) and still provide a bunch of USB and SATA (directly out of the CPU), and if combined with an APU instead of a desktop SKU, idle power consumption should be laptop-like (there's only one die for Ryzen APUs afaik).
The problem is that I don't think boards themselves are available, only prebuilts/barebones, and of course AMD APUs have pretty high starting prices right now, and lower-end Zen 2/3 APUs weren't even announced last time I looked.
