We'd like to welcome Apple to the world of ARM-based laptops. You're a couple years late to the party, though, but better now than never? 😉

I believe they were PowerPC. Another RISC based chipset but not ARM.

They're both RISC architectures. That's about all they have in common. To claim they are the same is kind of like saying that coffee and tea are the same thing because they both come from plant material.

O_O If I don't have to switch toolchains to build my nix of choice on either or, they aren't "that" different...
That said, my point is they are not new to the non-intel game for a PC and have more experience with it than anyone else, even if they haven't been doing it, for a while...

Any plans for RISC-V tho? Or is that a slightly far future?

To this I say comparing the two is more like comparing Gala Apples to say Fuji Apples, they are both Apples but different Apples...

Can't wait for them to unveil what will probably just be a $1500 Pinebook minus the privacy; security and user repairability.

$500 and the dev must bring back the machine at the end. Reverse engineering not allowed.
I'll stick to the Pinebook.

RISC-V would be aweaome, but I recognize that RISC-V SoC chips are very new, and would take a long time to get a clean running desktop environment. The good news is that it has already been done once, but it cost thousands of US $. I hope pine64 has this as a goal to do sometime in the next 6 years.
