Obviously we should all just convert our linux based wireless routers 
since they only take 6 Watts... (yes I did lots of measuring)

But the wifi routers don't have proper storage and can't connect to 
external storage so I like my laptop solution.

Laptops are relatively very low power, they've had to be since 
battery/energy storage technology is so far behind energy usage 
technologies that they've had to be designed to be low power... which is 
good.

I think otherwise, a tiny cheap nas style solution may be a good (but 
not cheap) way to go too.
