I suppose. There probably is a thin niche that would appreciate the performance gains, but I feel that in most cases you'd rather have a pro or really a mac mini if you mostly use it as a desktop and have a need for sustained performance over time.

- Wowfunhappy 6y ago> Frequently docks laptop during workloads That's not a requirement, you merely need to use your laptop at a desk (or a table, or the seat-back shelf on an airplane) and not literally on your lap. That's usually how I use my laptop anyway, for comfort reasons. Certainly when I'm doing something CPU heavy, since I don't generally edit videos on the subway. I think the other three requirements are perfectly common.
