They > can charge extra for it because the B.O.M. cost will be greater. nonsense. intel macs are *going* *away*. apple said 2 years, but history and common sense indicates it will be much less than that since there is far less demand for an intel mac now. macs with apple processors will be faster and more capable, making it a very tough sell to buy an older and outdated intel mac with more limited functionality. there is also no price premium. mac prices are comparable to windows pcs for similar specs, and in many cases, macs are *less* expensive.
