I wonder if Apple is ok with this. They usually don't like someone's else software running on their machines, especially on such a low level. They will probably negotiate a kill switch for them too.
- CamperBob2 9y agoThey'll build their own, presumably. The decision they made almost 10 years ago to bring the PA Semi designers in-house is looking better every day. The iOS devices don't use Intel chips and the Macs don't really need to.
- mjg59 9y agoThey've been shipping hardware with an ME for a decade, so they can't be too upset.

I think that it's true that they want to have as much control over the experience as possible, but that is more from a perspective of being able to control the (visible parts of) user experience. I'd be pretty surprised if they didn't already knew/had an idea of what was going on with the ME and that there must be some way to disable it, but MacBooks don't receive the amount of attention required for them to care about this low-level detail, which 'doesn't affect' regular customers anyway.

- glasz 9y agoi've heard the ME is not enabled in macs. for technical/architectural reasons. somebody please enlighten me if that is true.
- JudasGoat 9y agoI've heard that ME can't communicate over a non Intel WiFi or Ethernet chip-set. Possibly related?
