Higher performance per watt which leads to lower power use and therefore

people _do_ want to have a computer which can handle a whole day's work

While I agree that most people want longer battery life for their laptops, I
really don't think the cost of charging a laptop is that big of a concern.

However, it is only going to become more expensive in places like Europe
where its production depend on a resource acquired from Russia. The same
way they switched to fuel-efficient or electric cars to lower their
reliance on gasoline, they are probably going to switch to
energy-efficient machines to reduce their need for electricity altogether.
