HOLD THE LIME, people!
The Law of Supply and Demand
High demand = Higher price
Low demand = Lower price
Basically, $190+ were rip-off prices that thrifty consumers would've avoided and patiently waited.
Early adopters pay more than late adopters but enjoy the same product sooner.

SSD speeds are weird. I have one of the most powerful gen 4 laptops around (Legion Pro 7, 13900HX, 32gb 5600 ram, P41 2tb), with top tier gen 4 SSDs and don't notice any difference on day to day or gaming, when comparing to my old 5800h, 32gb 3200 ram, P31 2tb…
It's like Windows can only move so fast. 🤷 ♂️

According to this article, P31 idle consumption is 348 mW while 980 pro is 749mW when ASPM/LPM disabled. I would say 46% less idle power consumer is pretty significant. Again, how much more battery life will not be a simple "XX min" more when compare to XX SSD. Based on the data show, I would say you will have "longer" usage time in general.
However, those numbers are with PCIe ASPM disabled. If that's enabled, then both this drive and the EVO 980 Pro drop to below 50 mW, with some reports being as low as 3-4 mW in a laptop configuration. At those power levels the backlight of your screen on minimum brightness completely swamps both out as far as relevance to battery life goes. Hell, the backlight on your keyboard probably will as well.
So yes, if you have your laptop on battery power and want to spend your whole time copying files, then the SK Hynix is the winner for battery life. For normal workloads, as in watching a movie or web browsing, you will not be able to measure a difference in battery life.
This is what makes it better than many of the competitors.

This drive has benefits over a faster gen4 drive if you care about efficiency (heat and power usage) for example in a laptop. I personally would prefer a cooler, longer running SSD over something even twice as fast in sequential transfers as you wouldn't even see the performance delta in the vast majority of use cases.
