Today, I’ve seen plenty of articles ranging from “Fujitsu, Lenovo to use MacBook Air CPU?” to “PC vendors to use the MacBook Air’s tiny Intel chip”. So what would make people think that Intel build a chip “just for Apple”? After all, MacBooks are “pretty PCs’, using PC components made by PC-centric companies. The most important differentiator is Mac OS.
Of course, there’s no question that MacBooks have taken an important share of the market, but common, Intel isn’t just going to sell a small-package chip to Apple only. I’m not even buying the idea that Intel built the chip because Apple asked them to. It is not as if the idea of creating smaller chips and packaging is new…
Others ultra-thin laptops will come and they might even have more ports and an optical drive.
