That AC could be both right and wrong. He could be totally right about the existence of those prototypes, and I bet it's true (it'd be more surprising if Apple didn't have prototype ARM laptops floating around). But it doesn't mean he knows anything about actual plans to get these out the door. There are HUGE barriers to that happening at the moment, the cost/benefit ratio is extremely high. It sounds to me like this AC is correctly reporting the facts but incorrectly extrapolating his own story out of it.

> From what I was told, there's a huge push to get this stuff out the door as soon as they think the market will accept it.

Looks like a) he's not extrapolating anything, and b) the AC knew those huuuuge barriers existed when he wrote his post.

Well, the title of the post is “Last sentence is (almost) BS.”, so take the final paragraph with an additional heaping of salt.
