They're definitely less expensive, but not, in general, less
power-hungry. The Intel chips are better at reducing power
requirements when idle.
The Apple portables are anyway much better at being portable
than their x86-based counterparts---things like near-instant wake-up
from sleep, battery life(?), general robustness, both physical and
software-wise. I'm not sure how much of this would transfer across to
an x86-based design.
