there are lots of applications that benefit from GPU acceleration, where even a single small-ish GPU is useful. Even outside of deep learning -- DL tensor libraries can be useful just for GPU numerical operations + autograd. Managing moving data back and forth to cloud environments can add a lot of friction. A laptop that has the performance of a low-end discrete GPU, but is the size and temperature of a regular laptop, would be a very nice thing to have. Hoping software support for the M1 continues to improve.
