You want better performance per watt. Apple sells millions of iPads and Google OEMs sell some number of ARM Chromebooks and Tablets. Amazon is selling little android tablets as low as $40.
The desktop is essentially a legacy model as it stands today. Nobody is offering ARM because Windows doesn’t support it, and there really aren’t other options. Even enterprises are shipping the cheapest crap possible for PCs and innovating on mobile.
You’ll see some change when Apple ships ultralight laptops that aren’t as compromised as the intel platform devices.
