Not clear that Apple “bungled” the laptops as their sales have been declining roughly in proportion to the sagging of the overall PC market. In other words the flimsy keyboards may have increased their service costs and pissed of a small part of a key constituency but basically may not have itself risen above the noise floor.

For every person who complains about the laptops there’s someone like me who is happy with the direction (doesn’t make either of us wrong). I’m a software developer and miss the portability of my 12” MacBook. I enable telemetry so they know I almost never plug anything into my machine. An iPad just doesn’t cut it.

If this ARM speculation is even substantive it will likely mean a light super-portable machine for me and continued investment in the 16” MBP for you.
