"Surely this will change" I'm no mac fanatic, but arguably no good competitors came out for the 2012-era macbook pro (the retina thingy, like I said, not a zealot) in terms of hardware quality. Yeah the CPUs eventually got faster, and Apple drank their koolaid with the bad keyboards and ribbon. The laptop industry never really responded to that, and I don't really see the ARM competition from AMD/Intel... just excuses about "well they were on the next generation of process". Like, what process jump previous to this for x86 produced such dramatic gains in efficiency and power? Oh right, certainly none in the last 20 years. I do hope an ARM M-killer is being worked on. But the absolute silence means it is far away. If it was even a year away there would be rumblings in the downstream Windows/Microsoft market, hardware OEMs, compilers, etc. Anyone heard anything? Also, holy crap, $3000 for a processor? That you bought for personal use?
