I just wish manufacturers would make a laptop with these that isn't obsessed with being thin and light.

I'd absolutely love one of these power efficient chips with a 100whr battery.

Given how much space they save with the on package ram, and how small SSDs are, you could feasibly have this with two m.2 slots, perhaps one 2280 and one 2230.

Put a bunch of ports and you're sorted. No need for the thing to anorexic. My workload is light, I just want ports and battery.

This is what dragged me to the M1 Pro MBP 16". No expandable storage, which fucking sucks, but it has a huge battery, an incredibly efficient chip, and it still has power on tap if I need it (which isn't often, for my use cases). I regularly go 2 full workdays without charging. It's awesome.

Ugh I want one but I really don’t need it, and they’re so damn expensive

One of the ways these low power chips save power and die space is by having less IO capacity.
