Personally I use a MBP for dev, at work I am required to use a Intel PC. I loathe my work laptop for being slower and having sleep issues.
My 265H Intel laptop sounds like a jet engine at all times, runs slower than my M4 Max, and only cost $500 less than the MBP.
That feels like a big difference? I think $500 is more than I've ever paid for a laptop.
(Also, I must be old because I can remember a time when even the cheapest laptop cost about $2k.)
You can find deals on PC laptops much, much easier than Macs.
For all the interesting concepts in CUDA, it seems like gamers want pixels and polygons, and neural networks want gemm/relu. It doesn't seem like Nvidia really has a moat that others (Tenstorrent?) can't cross.
