The day that apple flips switch in opt and ships OS X in Arms means Intel could be in trouble. They did it before with PowerPC->Intel.

I think this becomes more and more viable with every Apple A-series release and that this is the year where if they were to release the right machine, I probably wouldn't flinch switching to an ARM "daily driver" computer

This shows both the amazing progress of iPhone and disheartening progress of the Mac line simultaneously.

Yeah, Macbook air really feels abandoned

Would love a 16GB model.

For the last 4 years of me saying that, everyone and their brother, and the Apple reps all say "oh you can configure that on the site", because they have have access to the parallel darknet version of the Apple site where Macbook airs ship with 16gb RAM

I really like the air, but I can like the Macbook Pro its not really a big deal. JUST WISH THEY WOULD YA KNOW

Intel will be ok, Apple don't sell that many chips. And it is not going to affect anyone else.

And Intel are looking at helping Apple out with the next versions of their chips, possibly fabbing them.
