This is because fullscreen mode allows the use of something called "DirectDraw Exclusive mode" which bypasses Windows for making calls to the GPU.

This has interesting implications in many aspects of computing while Intel ME largely serves to attack and spy on the user.

Well I don't think Apple will be as senseless as they have been with the iPad Pro. I think they will converge them, but continue to support classic Mac interaction models (keyboard + mouse).

With all the competition from Microsoft's Surface lineup we'll probably see the iPad shift even more towards the Mac side of interaction as well.

To your second point about performance: have we really seen what a high wattage ARM CPU can do?

I don't think we really know what it could be yet. Looks to be a inroad to phasing in ARM chips in Mac products.

Will be interesting to see if native iOS apps will be able to run for development or regular use. This is a good sign for the convergence of the Mac and "i" products.

For fun here's the "transitions" talk Steve Jobs gave announcing the switch from PowerPC to Intel processors. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghdTqnYnFyg
