I am not worried about the speed as much.
The reviews say the power consumption is more in 840 vs 840 pro series. How much difference could this make to laptop battery life.

Anandtech quoted 23yrs life with 10GB writes a day. Magnitudes over what normal use would be.

These are cheaper than the 830 because the NAND chips are cheaper. It's TLC, half the lifespan of MLC.
If you don't expect to use it 5+ yrs, you should be ok.
