Think about it--where is the biggest bang for a buck in using ARM instead of Intel?
It has to be laptops--much lower power consumption, typically less need for the very highest level of performance.
Prediction: We'll see ARM laptops in 2021, and they will include cellular connectivity, and amazing battery life.

Apple has had great success using custom A-series silicon for its iPhones and iPads, with its iOS devices offering market-leading performance. It is now looking to achieve a similar feat with its laptops and — later — desktop Macs. Bloomberg says Apple plans to announce the transition this month, which will give time for Mac developers to get their apps ready when the first Apple ARM Mac ships in 2021.
