I don't expect Apple to abandon x86 any time soon but I would not be at all surprised to see them bring out an ARM-based Macbook Air with fantastic battery life and no heat. Most laptop users have their CPUs idling 80-90% of the time as it is.
I don't see any upsides for them in an Intel acquisition.
- philwelch 15y agoWhat's the point of a MacBook Air that's x86-incompatible? Unless they abandon x86 they'd either need to emulate it or fragment their product line, neither of which is an appealing option.
