Sure. Two good sources are:

1. Life Cycle Assessment of Fairphone 4, showing an estimated 75% of energy use occurring during production and 16% during the lifetime of use: https://www.fairphone.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Fairpho...

2. Eco profile of a 13.5" Surface Laptop 5, showing 85% of energy use occurring during production and 12% during the lifetime of use: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?i...

now a fairphone uses 2W during use, a dual-socket server 100W in idle (!). Assuming emissions scale with weight, I'd say for a typical server, this is very different.

Still, I agree with you: design for efficiency and then mend and use efficiently.

What about for desktops? Servers operating at capacity? GPUs?
