Out of curiosity what are your desktop specs? I have stable diffusion running quite well on a few different systems of varying spec. That said, it's great to be able to take it on the road with you.

My dev desktop has the following: - Ryzen 5950x - 16 GB RAM - 1070 8 GB

The limiting factor was the VRAM. The M1 has the ability to use more VRAM than your typical gaming GPU because of the shared RAM.

I see this as a big advantage.
