[Ti] What is this going to do to Apple, and its laptops?

[Sherman Gregory]

One thing that I have not heard mentioned here yet is cost.  I think 
that the main advantage of the Intel Centrino solution will be that 
the parts cost to build an 802.11 (a,b,g) laptop will be less due to 
the integration.  Fewer parts means less cost.

If apple decides to include Airport (Extreme) on all laptops then 
they would probably want to put it on the motherboard to save the 
costs of the connectors and packaging of the cards.  It would cost 
even less it the 802.11 circuitry was built into a chip that they 
already have there anyway.
