Maybe they are targeting MacBooks as a warm up act?

If the chip consumes 3x as much power as a competing chip, it's more likely people won't notice on a laptop than a cell phone. If signal isn't quite as good, again people might not notice.

Only like 10% of these chips will ever get used at all, by anyone, if they are in laptops. Targeting laptops first seems like an obvious & lower risk choice.
