The P55W remains most appropriate to a user with a particular set of needs: someone who wants ultra-high resolution and convertible tablet features, but doesn’t need superb performance or mind extra bulk in his bag. I can picture this guy, but have to close my eyes really hard to do it.

Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.
