Core-M/Broadwell-Y is a dud, just like all previous Y-series chips before it. Intel is trying too hard to get the ultra-low power. And because of that it ends up with chips that are less powerful than what is needed for mainstream tasks, as well as too expensive (even compared to a Core i5). You're much better off with a 15W Core i5 than a 5W Core-M, no matter the scenario - with one possible exception: if you really, really want a $1,000 slim "tablet". But you better not want it for something like Photoshop or anything heavy like that. Just for other mobile tasks that you could just as well use your $500 iPad for.
