It just needs more marketing, empty promises and CEO tears.
- I can understand, more marketing, sketchy "benchmarks" and empty promises, but why CEO tears? :)
  
  If anything, it looks like they've been able to successfully sell lemons; i.e. a subpar product that was marketed as revolution, but in reality only occasionally show modest improvements in battery life (mainly in media consumption) and that's only if you don't use any x86 emulation at all.
I don't know, this isn't blowing up in their face hard enough.
Most of this column makes a lot of sense and I'm sure it's more correct than not, but the lack of detail to back up his claims is a bit frustrating. The security section in particular reads like a "trust me bro" rant. It's been a while since I've seen anyone suggest that Intel is the best choice for system hardware-level security.
- It does have a more "opinion piece" tone to it.
