Together Forever  While most people are concerned about their energy usage, especially when it concerns their electric utility bill, many people do not realize that their electric appliances use electricity even when they are not turned on. People tend to turn off appliances when not in use in order to save energy, but to truly save energy, the appliance must also be unplugged. According to Arcadian Electrical, a desktop computer can use 80 watts, while a laptop can use 20 watts. A video game system like a Playstation uses 300 watts both when it is being used and when it is turned off.
