Can you please elaborate on why the new mobo is so much more power efficient? If anything is due to software (e.g. BIOS), will you be able to backport these changes to previous version? Also agree with reviewer's comments about privacy

Please be careful. This may not scale into the future.. as you may have to give more attention to family (kids, elders, etc) Getting a higher paying job by building more skills (instead of a second job) may be a better long term strategy
