I would kill for an MacBook ARM. How much power and cycles remain wasted on x86 legacy cruft?
Only Apple could make this kind of huge transition as they've worked for years to be able to put an OSX-derived OS on a tiny iPod form factor (and thus creating the iPhone and iPod touch).
Bringing that back to the laptop world would be truly awesome. They have the ecosystem, toolchain, and numerous successful similar transitions from 68000->PPC->Intel already.
