I'm happy to pay for the electricity if I get faster builds.

My daily driver is a Hackintosh and with the CPUs pegged pulls about 70W from the wall. The two displays add another 90W.

M1 is impressively efficient but there's still a gap for fast, no-compromise workstations.

On a desktop, power consumption doesn't really matter.

But on a laptop, it matters a ton. Personally I prefer doing work from my couch rather than my desk; ergonomics and external monitors be damned.

I don't know how old are you but you might regret that later.

Around 40 years old is usually when you start to pay for carelessness with your body. Ask me how I know ...

100%, everything’s easy in your 20s! ;)

Except finances. :-)

Sounds like you need a better desk/chair.

Apple has already said that they are releasing a workstation-class M1X/M2 next year.

The point is that the M1 is already comparable to many workstations.
