Laptop Computers June 11, 2005 (AXcess News) Cupertino CA - While Apple enthusiasts seem to applaud the computer manufacturers move in switching to Intel chips, the move also risks a fall in PC sales until the new computers are released.When Apple Computer (Nasdaq: AAPL) announced the switch to Intel Corporation (Nasdaq: INTC) in using microprocessors that are found in 80 percent of all PCs, the Cupertino computer manufacturer risked losing sales of its popular Apple computers with consumers who wanted to wait until the newer PCs hit the market in two years.

So Apple's move to Intel was really driven by capacity limitations, even though its risky to change chip suppliers.

Lenovo Apple founder, Steve Jobs, spoke to reporters at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference at Moscone West in downtown San Francisco, saying the computer manufacturer envisioned new, more powerful products but that it needed more powerful chip sets to develop them.Intel Chief Executive Paul Otellini appeared with Jobs at the Conference saying that Apple Computer was an innovative company and that Intel was very pleased to be teaming up with the company.

Hard Drive Apple pundits believe that the new chip sets will first appear in Apple laptops, though neither Jobs or Otellini would reveal which chip sets Apple would be using or in which computers they would be configured first.Investors were mixed in their reactions Friday when Apple shares closed down 32 cents to end the week's session at $37.92.
