I got a new laptop recently and while I didnt need more speed or memory, the fact that it uses less than half the energy as my previous laptop (and correspondingly lasts more than twice as long on battery) is extremely nice.
As an aside - I was under the impression x86 chips were still way behind Apple in battery life, but this doesnt seem to be the case. My new computer has a generation or two old Intel CPU (Meteor Lake) and I am getting 12+ hours out of a ~50Wh battery.
