Especially since there's not much effort from Apple needed to keep the Mac lineup modernized. Intel does much of the work for them.

Apple could just drop new Intel chips into their existing MacBooks as they get released, and easily be getting improved speed + efficiency each year. The new Kaby Lake chips even do hardware 4K video and VP9. http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2016/08/intel-unveils-kaby-la...

Really? do they all use the same CPU socket? no updates required to motherboard? EFI? Apple's custom SMC firmware? power management? kernel work? etc.

If only Apple had resources to do that. They must be struggling.

Isn't "beleagured" the word you're looking for?

Also forgot to mention Steve Jobs/Tim Cook.

Steve Jobs/Tim Cook

Isn't that what they were doing for a while? And then Intel slipped the date on the Kaby Lake chips?
