Sorry mate, I may be a bit old fashioned but what alternative "solution" is there to charging a laptop other than to plug it into the mains?
And if it's so outmoded why are SWT having powerpoints on their Class 707s and why are bus and coach operators increasingly fitting them to vehicles used on long distance services?

Of all the clamour for lifestyle add-ins to new trains, power outlets are (and will increasingly be so in the future) the most irrelevant. As has been said before here many times, it is within the control of those who feel such a desperate need for charging their devices to carry their own solution. If anything is justified here then it is wi-fi, as those who do manage their own device availability cannot (yet) have confidence in an at-seat network connection over GSM. Fortuitously, equipping a train with effective wi-fi is not particularly weight or power intensive so it is likely to become a reality but power, - not so.
