		foxpurple on July 22, 2021 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: iDOS 2 will be gone soon This is outdated info. The latest iPad Pro has the M1 chip, exactly the same as the MacBook. And it comes in 8/16gb ram. The magic keyboard accessory apple sells for the iPad also turns it in to the same form factor as a laptop. You very realistically could replace a MacBook with an iPad Pro and magic keyboard if apple let people run macOS on it.

Quite literally if an iPad Pro ran MacOS there is absolutely no reason why this couldn’t be the case.

Wouldn't be much of a laptop, good luck using it on your lap

It works about the same as my actual laptop. That is, uncomfortable but technically possible.
