There's this fantasy in the Apple Fandom that there exist these creative professionals who totally need serious horsepower but crammed in to mobile form factor like a laptop to keep up with their 'on the move' professional lifestyle.
There are two types of people who are going to buy this kind of machine:
1.) The aspiring creative professional who buys the machine on their own dime for the hype and to be seen rather than buying a more reasonably priced (cough desktop) workhorse and spending the difference on more tools that actually contribute to their professional output.
2.) Boomer lawyer/executive types that don't give a sweet mary fuck about CPU/GPU performance out or M1 chips, they just have the means/budget and want whatever is top of the line and better than everyone lower in the pecking order in the meeting room. The machine will never be used for the heavy workload it was designed for, in fact, most of the cycles will be used for running Microsoft Office applications (probably on Parallels) while connecting to an inferior external display because it's larger.
most of the cycles will be used for running Microsoft Office
You basically need a machine like that if you want to open a second instance of excel in less than 30 seconds, esp if you have 100 chrome tabs running.
