How is intel in the way of "controlling an integrated experience for their customers"???
and apple never did #5. ever. well, maybe within their product line the new models are killers.
what they do is screw suppliers for price. just that.
They secure a great deal with companies that will go great lengths doing designs for them cheaply, in hopes that apple will be a recurring client. Hell, they even pulled that on IBM! They will probably pull that one on ARM too. Use the new arm design to exhaustion for a couple years, and then move back to whoever is willing to offer them a better price.
- happybuy 16y agoBy not providing a version of their most recent processor that provides compatibility with OpenCL at a cost, performance and thermal heat envelope that would enable Apple to produce a notebook as thin and small as the Macbook Air. The new Macbook Air uses older, slower Core 2 Duo processors with Nvidia chipsets and graphics specifically because Intels most recent chips (with integrated graphics) do not meet these requirements. This has an affect on the customer experiences (and therefore products) Apple would like to be able to provide.
