    Efficiency is a slippery slope. My laptop is currently incredible efficient, because it’s sleeping with a closed lid. But overall - yes. Laptops would probably be the first foray into consumer electronics, as it’s acceptable for laptops to not have top performance.

      It is only gamers who needs the “top performance”. I’ve ran Solidworks on intel igpu since 2015 without problem.

      My dream computer would have 4 cores and 24 hr battery life. If it compiles Linux kernel under 3 minutes, it has enough power for me.

      The speed of OS doesn’t have anything to do with the cpu power.
