I can see low cost ARM based MacBook (savings from not paying Intel tax) marketed as long battery high end hardware replacement for ChromeBooks. It can still run modified OS X which allows for Mac App Store apps (MS Office just announced Mac App Store support), browser, email etc. Throw in native iTunes/iPhoto with cloud storage and you got a pretty nice offering.
- diroussel 8y agoA modified OS X? It will be macOS or it won't be a Mac. I don't see any need for modification beyond a new major release. The term "modified OS X" makes it sound hybrid, but I don't see space in apples line for something between a Mac and an iPad. There's not technal reason to not go with full macOS. It's Unix and it runs on ARM.
