Then maybe Apple can start putting Xeons in MacBook Pros. I'm only half joking. The Lenovo ThinkPad P50 has Xeon options, for instance.

- masklinn 10y ago> I'm only half joking. It would make for a great pro laptop and I'm not joking at all, especially since there's no other way to get ECC support from Intel. There are issues with that though, at least in Skylake: * Mobile Xeon now require Xeon-decidated chipsets (C23X) which AFAIK don't exist in mobile form (and thus have a TDP ~double that of the regular mobile skylake chipsets). * The mobile Xeon range (15X5Mv5) is very limited with just two Iris Pro 580 and two Intel HD parts. * While the 1575Mv5 is higher-specced than any non-xeon mobile chip (3.0/3.9, graphics 0.35/1.1) it's also twice as expensive as the 6970HQ, which is already a $600 part. Still, might have been nice on the 15".
