Interesting marketing approach for sure. What I want to know are the economies of scale for using a single component, both at the chip fab level, the main board level, and overall product level. Still seems like Apple's typical under-powered per price point offerings, but does this close the price/performance gap a bit, or drive higher profits at the same price points, or do they really see it as just a good marketing play? While it sounds nice to have one chip in different machines, what is the benefit to the user who buys one machine, typically for efficiency or power? I suppose in some edge cases it might be nice to have a laptop with CAD-station power, but also able to stream movies or edit documents for a full intercontinental flight on a single battery charge?
