The unseating of x86 as the de facto standard for laptops, workstations, and servers would be a net benefit for both performance and security. Unfortunately, though Apple will likely find very great success with their ARM Macs, it does not necessarily follow that the architecture will gain significant ground outside the Apple-sphere. I would love for my next laptop to be ARM-based, but I can't see Apple happily flogging chips to Dell or Lenovo, and I'm not sure if anyone else's ARM processors are up to the necessary standard.
