Modular Anyone?

[Andrew Richards]

FCPX actually runs rather well on my MacBook Air, though I’m limited to the internal SSD, which is fast enough for light ProRes work. With Thunderbolt, any Mac can be a workstation since the last big bottleneck, storage bandwidth, has been removed. The Sandy Bridge Intel i5 and i7 chips that come on Thunderbolt Macs are very stout, and so far all the Thunderbolt Macs support up to 16 GB RAM.

So I guess it’s not a crazy idea after all. Maybe this is part of the thinking….sell more hardware.

Selling hardware is always Apple’s thinking, in everything they do. iTunes Music sells iPods. iOS and the App Store sells iPhones. OS X and iLife sells Macs. Pro Apps sell the most expensive Macs. Apple makes very little money on software compared to the money they make on hardware.
