I don't see a future for intel, frankly, but I'm very happy she found a good paying job.
There was a time when people said that about AMD. Don't get me wrong, Intel's outlook is IMO currently indeed rather bleak, but I would not completely write it off just yet.
And Apple, to complete the circle.

Yes I think so. Her resume says she started working for Intel on open source graphics driver this month.
Too bad it was not Apple who hired her for M4, but in business leaders are always the most closed ones.

I'd pay easily let's say $100-200 a year to have linux running on modern apple laptops with full features. I'm sure I'm not alone. Their hardware, "our" OS would be perfect. Well, except notch and lack of OLED - but, reportedly that's in the works too.
the macbook pro uses MiniLed, in term of contrast, it's quite good, much better than ips. Macbook pro display is one of the best laptop display.

Thanks Jesus it's Intel and not Apple, Intel has been extremely good at working upstream and has immense contributions in the Linux kernel, mesa, and elsewhere. Wasting such talent on Apple would make the world worse for us all.
Why? Apple makes good products. It seems, unlike Intel.

1. student at uoft 2. a lead in a job at Collabora 3. very succesful and ambitious hobby project how tf does she juggle and managed to do all this? I can barely do one of the above properly.
One of the few people who are actually competent. Although most likely she’s well compensated, and doesn’t have to waste time on useless efforts at work, this level of discipline and striving towards a goal is just very rare in general. Possibly also no family, limited social life and no other hobbies.

Sorry for misinterpreting you! All we can do is pattern-match, and sometimes the pattern doesn't match.

They’ve always been available at Best Buy, BH Photo, and other authorized partners in the US. The Walmart deal is a total mystery. It started, seemingly, as dumping new old stock without selling it on Apple.com, but they’ve even updated the machine I think so clearly it’s an ongoing concern. Nothing like it I know of for Apple, ever. I’d love to know the story.
I would guess Apple’s goal is increasing the number of people buying recurring Apple services, such as icloud and tv+. It has been a long time since people have needed cutting edge laptops, so an M1 bought today will still work for 90% of people for the next 5+ years. Even if Apple doesn’t earn a large profit margin on the sale of the laptop, they could earn a decent amount on monthly services revenue, plus increased…
An M1 is great. But RAM and storage won’t hold up as long.
I suspect they can sell them at that price and still make a killing, and all the equipment to make chassis/etc is already paid off.
