With peering to ISPs it isn't about equal traffic in both directions, that is more when Tier 1 companies peer.

ISPs usually peer because it is cheaper and/or faster than paying to send the same traffic over the regular internet.
Over here in Australia most ISPs peer with PIPE. PIPE does not provide any internet access, just traffic between peers.
The ISPs consequently get nearly free data from Google, Akamai, etc... just by setting up the one peering connection which is unlimited.

Not really 'ignorant bullshit'. Yes they are still making a profit and I never said anything to counter that.

However I was referring to the fact desktop sales are down by 5.4% from 2012 and laptops are down 12.1%.

Shock. You are telling me that they oversimplified a topic like computer power consumption?

Operating system comparison would provide significantly higher power usage differences.
As would the presence or absence of Flash and ad blockers.

Hell chances are there would be significant differences depending on if the laptop was switched on 30 seconds previously to an hour previously.

The earth is like a tiny grain of sand, only much, much heavier.
