To be honest PC users will have to make a transition as well in a few years given the fact that ARM architectures will be replacing CISC based 8086 due to thermal and the limitations inherit with their command and thread setup (like fewer cmd decoders, etc.). Apple is only the first to make the switch (like they have done with many I/Os). The fact that an ARM setup running at half the operating frequency of 8086 systems it is being compared to mid and higher end 8086 based systems should make Intel and AMD take notice. ARM Windows 10 still needs some work and maybe MS will get it up to snuff by then. As for me I use my mac for lisp development and a few games. I'll just go out and get a windows laptop to hold me over. Next year will be interesting when more than 4 high power processor versions come out and Samsung RISC-V ARM development catches on.
