content: If this were to happen right now on the PC side, it would probably be Windows RT all over again.  Everyone wants to run their x86 apps, and it all runs like shit and makes the power consumption worse.  If Apple were to do it, I think they'd do an alright job (they've jumped microarchitectures multiple times over the decades), but it'd be in a laptop that's more of a piece of jewelry than laptop, and priced accordingly.  Apple software ecosystem too. There's things like the PineBook on the Linux side of things, but I view those as a rough proof of concept.  Cheap materials and weak hardware, but it is a genuine working ARM64 laptop running standard Linux apps.  So you can have your fully ARM laptop right now, but you're going to have compromises.  Hopefully it's just a matter of time before they suck a whole lot less.
