With a liitle more polishing over this combination, I can see the future: thinnest ultrabook with desktop grade performance and experience; packing a monstrous 4C8T top tier CPU and a high end graphics chipset in an ultrabook is definitely great for everyone. Would have been better if a Ryzen CPU is on the run for me.

This is going to be the future, no, It should have had been!

With a 100W TDP, it's going need more than just a 'little more polishing' to be viable for a mobile ultrabook product.

Agreed, I must have mistaken ultrabooks and notebooks. But rumor has it this hybrid chip will set its hold on 2018 MBPs. We might see how well it does first hand from Apple.
