    Remind me why we’re putting mobile CPUs in desktop mobos again?

      Being the devil’s advocate, I can somewhat think of these potential benefits:

      • More energy efficient

      • Faster memory speed with soldered memory (which this one in particular doesn’t use)

      • Allows for increased performance and cooling of those chips

      • Better integrated graphics

      And maybe… hopefully… cheaper?

        None of that is necessary in a desktop machine though…
