I fully expect Apple to begin doing this across their entire laptop line as a precursor to a full migration to an ARM-based MacOS/iOS hybrid.

  Assuming that you're being serious, I doubt that they would make such a move. While Apple markets their computers as being simple enough for anyone to use, they have a large section of power users that use their laptops heavily for things like Photoshop and video editing. I don't think that either of those will be performant in the near-term on ARM.

    Actually he is totally serious, Apple has already stated that this functionality is on the Lion OS roadmap, just replace android with iOS

    It would be nice though for the Intel CPU to be some place other than my lap, so the thing in my lap did not get as hot.

    nVidia's Tegra 3 (due this year) is a quad-core ARM with a GPU capable of accelerated 3D, HD resolution, and 13800 MIPS which I believe is faster than a Core 2 Duo. http://www.brightsideofnews.com/news/2011/1/23/nvidia-thinks-world-domination-tegra-2-3d-in-january2c-tegra-3-by-fall.aspx http://www.brightsideofnews.com/news/2011/1/23/nvidia-thinks... The 64-bit ARM chips will be better.
