Too slow to be useful for anything interesting.

Too expensive to be useful for any IOT or general computing.

I'm sure its really useful that one time you couldn't take a flight to a location and didn't have a car so you took a bus and that bus was made in 1990 and didn't have 120V outlets retrofitted and you decided to work for 12 hours straight on things that never used GPU.

Predictively you got massively downvoted but I don't understand how that is not the sentiment. People are really irrational around Apple stuff. Funniest thing is that I like macOS enough that I would buy their crap if it wasn't so absurdly expansive because of RAM pricing. I'm willing to let go of gaming and GPU apps (wasn't many in macOS anyway, because there were historically behind) but come on, not at this price... The battery life argument is a mystery to me. I wish they would figure out this would much better in a product like the Watch, instead of wasting power for useless computation, graphics or what have you...

Haha true that. It's really limited in terms of how well it can be integrated, however I really wish Apple would make some socket version of this(in future )for general consumers or atleast OEMs , it would be hugely successful.

The chances are close to impossible since it's Apple, and the architecture will need lot's of changes or the OEMs will have to change their motherboard design drastically to support a socketed M series chip ( storage controller, memory controller are all on the SOC)
