Don't know about framework, but I bought a USB multimeter to test power draw of my EliteBook. Most surprising finding was that the keyboard backlight draws an insane 2W-2.5W. That's about as much as the Ryzen 7840HS inside that laptop draws during idle.

Thank you, I'm aware of that and keep my backlight off until the evening. Unfortunately that's not enough, but it's an important point to note!

  This is a peculiarity of the EliteBook keyboard though, my ThinkPad's kbd backlight had much lower wattage.
