Yeah, this is almost entirely a press release for the NRDC. I tried digging into it some more, and this seems to be the most informative news piece I could find, although it's from August: http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/sdut-computer-efficiency-regulation-2016aug03-story.html http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/sdut-computer-efficiency... Still not super informative though. Back in March of 2015, over 70% of laptops already met the proposed standards. http://www.energy.ca.gov/releases/2015_releases/2015-03-12_draft_computer_standards.html http://www.energy.ca.gov/releases/2015_releases/2015-03-12_d... The way the desktop power issue is described, it sounds like you'll just be seeing more Bronze and Silver rated power supplies in desktops, and that's about it.
