Not to be that guy who says "Oooh, shiny. I like shiny," but imagine that solid state drives will help reduce energy use in the coming future. For the moment, they are blasphemously expensive.
Of course, even with a SSD, there will still be the cpu that gets hot, requiring a fan, and all those shiny circuit boards will be stressed when the system turns on.
For me, since my computer is in the same room as where I sleep four feet away, generally turn it off at night to remove the light pollution of its many LED's and the disturbing buzz of its little fan.
Anyway, it'll be nice to have such fancy machines to read on once we small all those nasty printing presses.
