Sort of. These things aren't proportional, so if you run the 12900HK at 45W instead of 115W, it won't get 39% of the performance, but probably something like 85%. At that point, while slower than the M1 Max, it's reasonably competitive.

Well, a lot of people really just want a desktop that they can occasionally take to the meeting room or to a friend's place. But yes, I imagine laptops that actually run at 115W (keep in mind this is only the CPU, and such a thing will often have a beefy GPU on top of that…) won't be the norm, exactly.
