They’ll pass the savings onto the consumers though right?? I mean, a fully specced MacBook costs over £3000 which seems expensive...

Here’s hoping anyway!!




Sure, they'll pass the $50 savings on.

You are overestimating how much a CPU costs...


It's more than just a CPU though - this will make the components of a Mac massively similar to an iPad, and probably save money on many other components.

It also removes any need for a dedicated GPU in their high-end laptops, which is probably $200 alone.

I have no idea how they justify the prices for their lower end laptops as-is, as they have worse screen and performace than recent iPads in pretty much all cases.
