Only once the tech matures. Requiring 1 watt of power for every 4 watts of cooling is not efficient and would have an impact on battery life.

the next problem - 4 watts is about where they max out, and using four isn't a benefit, the tech has been around for years and hasn't gone anywhere, which is why this is an obscure startup not in everyday pc's

It is and has been used in industrial applications for a long time. Situations where you don’t want a spinning fan. But those are you say low power sustained cooling.
