ARM based MacBook Pro discussion [merged]

I’ve been reading the first few pages and mentally patting myself on the shoulder

Man, I know hindsight is 20/20 but some of those comments are absolutely hilarious to read (especially the staff member’s).

Uh oh… there are a LOT of folks counting on HDMI and SD on the upcoming devices. I was just assuming they’d be there, too. But, I have to say a fake “dream device” would be a nice thing to drop into the honeypot. I may have a bit of a chuckle if we end up with all USB-C again.

Come to think of it, didn’t the group drop their demands?

Yes ReVIL didn’t publish any further leaks. So either Apple-Quanta paid the ransom, cops got close, or they realised they had useless data (because fake or outdated).

Old threads like this really do give me joy. Also I'm curious if maflynn and Closingracer did end up switching away from Macs once the transition started (or even earlier) ?

Another favourite of mine is this thread on Ars.
