The problem is the use-case. The software Mac laptops run would perform horribly on ARM. A Macbook Pro is not going to have an ARM processor.

- scarface74 7y agoWhy do you think the software Macs run are so much different than the software that iPad Pros run? They run some of the same frameworks. Since when you run iOS apps in the simulator for Macs you actually running x86 builds of iOS apps linked against an x86 build of the iOS frameworks, it’s not hard to compare performance
