It's great for the low end Macs (which are admittedly the majority), but doesn't prove anything for desktop power users yet. Maybe I'm just overly cynical, but I don't find anything especially surprising about this initial fare of M1 Macs given Apple's recent iPad releases. I wish they'd at least put out a Mac Mini that had the same memory and ports ceiling as the model it replaced. We already knew those would do great once removed from the constraints of handheld form factors. Honestly, that's what I personally expected Apple to prove to some extent with this event but we essentially just got unfetterd mobile chips and lost half the ports we had. I don't find these comparisons to Intel/AMD convincing because the overall system architecture is so different and at present at least Apple has sacrificed a lot (expandability being the most obvious) that we expect from computers.

But how far can that design even go and how much would the M1 lose if, say, the memory was split out? I don't imagine stuffing the 1.5 TB of memory the Mac Pro supports onto the SoC is feasible in die space alone, forget the thermal and power limitations it would impose. Isn't anyone else concerned about how far things like onboard memory is scalable, especially once this moves into desktop territory? It seems like a lot of advantages the M1 has over traditional CPUs comes from having everything on a single package.
