It's wild that Apple has gotten this close with an integrated GPU. This is really the best engineering organization on the planet attached to an extremely annoying marketing/ecosystem/revenue team.
Given that Apple has finally conceded that a laptop thicker than an iPad is acceptable (M1 Pro/Max models), we may see the Ultra chip in a new flagship Macbook Pro soon. It won't be cranked all the way up like it is in the Mac Studio obviously, but it's definitely possible to put one (or the inevitable M2 version) in a large laptop.

I’m not hopeful to be honest, at least not without a significant thermal reduction penalty. The M1 Ultra in the Mac Studio has a 1kg heavier heat sink vs the Max due to the extra heat.
