Replaced a 10 core, 64 GB RAM iMac Pro with a maxed-out M1 MacBook Air and very happy with that choice. Kept the iMac for Windows and "just in case" the Air doesn't work out. But it's just sitting in a closet now. It isn't just whether or not the speed tests look certain ways, you're right. It's also the fact that the Air is just a really great laptop. It's so good at being a laptop that, after years of compromising via a dual machine setup, the Air has allowed me to return to all the great things laptops used to represent, while providing comparable-to-desktop speed in the same machine. It can easily balance in all sorts of couch potato positions, functions as my main input to a larger screen, and can sit on my lap without burning me or giving me "build anxiety" like other laptops, where I'd dread the fan noise and heat of building. I'm not looking forward to having to decide to even have a desktop again because of however much faster the Apple Silicon desktops will be. Because having this much power in the same setup that I can take everywhere is really enticing and differs from past laptop offerings in the aforementioned improvements (and others like battery life or even the maybe somewhat silly option to run the Dyson iPhone app to control my office fan). PS: I think you might be thinking of the Mac Pro re the accelerator card, no?
