I was just about to post that myself. Low power is fine.... but some applications and movie file types (x264 especially) are extremely power hungry today and performance hungry.

Gamers are the usual segment that even laptops are being sold to now.... them and business users who are finding reasons for having a peckload of power in their laptops.
Personally, the biggest thing that Intel could improve: their dang graphics chipsets. Even in the 'web surfer' books..... their integrated graphics chipsets just DON'T CUT IT anymore. Even on games of 4 years ago, my notebook sometimes stutters while playing games on the lowest setting they have from that time period ago, and that just isn't acceptable.

Is gaming the only thing around..? Agreed its big on its requirements but businesses does need to cater requirements for lower power devices . Definitely intel is focussing on low power but i think they do care about games and so the high end chips on the same architecture would cater that need too as they now ....
