When I upgraded 5 years ago, general mechanical failure without available replacement parts was the driving factor, but energy consumption was high on my list. A light laptop with a long battery life is something that never used to exist, and it definitely improves my quality of life. If battery life at a low weight cost doubles in the next 5-10 yrs I'll probably upgrade again even if the machine is usable.
