As someone who needs some decent Mac firepower, it does concern me a bit that we don’t really know if Apple can make a good high TDP processor, and everything you need to support that, like a good GPU. But…does that matter all that much to Apple? They seemingly have made a recommitment as of late to the pro and prosumer market (see: Mac Pro), but for a long time there, they sold laptop Macs, and begrudgingly sold desktop Macs because, I don’t know, education sales. If they nail MacBook Air-class power envelopes, which I have absolutely zero doubt they can, and they don’t knock a new iMac Pro out of the park…is that really going to hit their bottom line all that much? (Yes, in some way, there’s a halo effect, and developers won’t be happy, nor will creative pros, but if they get great MacBook Airs with higher profit margins, then they probably consider that a win.)
