> If this works I wouldn't be surprised if PC laptops moved to ARM too a couple of years later

Hasn't PC world ALREADY started the transition to ARM? Snapdragon based laptops already started shipping with SD835, Microsoft already has Windows S for such ARM laptops and many OEMs are already making experimental foldable ARM based devices that can take advantage of these small chips. Apple would be just retro-fitting their ARM chips in the shell of Macbooks 2 years too late.

Sure there are some ARM Windows devices but AFAIK this is not really a trend to moving away from Intel/AMD.

We'll see tomorrow, but it seems Apple intends to move all their laptops to ARM, not just the smaller/cheaper ones.


Surface Pro X is not a smaller/cheaper device, either.
