  • Lower MacBook sales push Apple down to sixth place in laptop marketshare

    The MacBook is a great innovation, but a single port computer with a 12" display shouldn't start at €1,499 here. Do you think that could be one of the reasons why they are selling less of them?
    Why is it a great innovation? Certainly not the keyboard, its atrocious.

  • True Religion deploys Apple Watch to salespeople in NY & LA, plans up to 30 more stores

    SnRaSnRa

    True Religion loyalty members who opt in on the company's app will allow associates to know once they have entered the store, thanks to iBeacons. Salespeople will be alerted to their presence with a haptic response from the Apple Watch.

    On the app, made in partnership with Aptos and Formula 3 Group, the associate can then access customer information, including buying patterns, sales history, and suggested selling recommendations.

    The Apple Watch app also includes product imagery with a virtual view of past purchases. Customers who opt in can also have their social media profiles integrated, allowing associates to recognize and greet the shopper by name.

    The ultimate goal of pushing Apple Watch in the retail space is to "liberate" associates from the point of sale, allowing them to move throughout the store and cater to customer needs more freely.
    What's the incentive for someone to opt in? So they can experience the equivalent of internet ads / suggested items in real life? Might as well just have an AI dictate a script from the Apple Watch for each employee to read off to you.

     Not sure what flavor of Windows 10 runs on a regular Surface (not a Surface "Pro")...
    The Surface 3 has x86-64 hardware, so it runs regular Windows 10.

  • Intel splits on Atom after the mobile relevance of x86 whacked by Apple's Ax

    If I were Intel I'd scrap all the non-socket 2011 models
    Umm...

    As for the rest, I have no idea how you come to those conclusions. Honestly. Your benchmark claims are all over the place. And why are you talking about Haswell?... For that matter, why are you trying to compare x86 and ARM using Passmark? It would be terribly misleading should anyone actually take your post seriously.

    Apollo Lake with Goldmont cores is still coming (replacing Braswell), so that shouldn't be a problem. Only SoFIA and Broxton (smartphones/tablets) have been cancelled.
    Thank you for the tips. Now can you comment please on a much discussed issue such as the lack of Thunderbolt 3 in the new Retina Macbook? Does Core M support TB 3, or if not what is Intel's solution?
    Yes, Skylake Core m devices can support Thunderbolt 3. A number of Windows based Core m tablets already have Thunderbolt 3 (example: Dell XPS 12, Acer Switch Alpha 12).
