> Apple really dragged their feet on updating the old Intel Macs before the transition
There was a Twitter post doing the rounds which I cannot locate now as my Twitter-search-foo is not strong enough. :-(
To summarise the gist of it: The post was made by someone on the product development team for the newly released MacBook Pro models, they referred to it as multiple years in the making.
So it may well be Apple were dragging their feet for good reason. They knew what was coming and did not want to invest further in Intel related R&D and did not want to end up with warehouses full of Intel-based devices and associated service parts.
