> Power consumption for 10Gbps Ethernet on copper is huge compared to 1 Gbps, so it is not sexy for laptops.
How often do you have your laptop plugged into networking but not power? And if that's an important use, I could see manufacturers spicing it up with some power over ethernet to not only fix but reverse the problem.
Though it feels like ethernet ports on laptops are already unsexy at any speed. And you could have the 'balanced' power profile limit the port to 1Gbps on battery.
