I see a lot of people in the comments wanting to use iOS on a laptop, or connecting a mouse and keyboard to an iPad/iPhone. I don't know what the point would be. For anything that is not purely content consumption, a regular laptop is superior to a tablet, phone, or touchscreen generally. What use case other than "it's cool" do you actually expect to use this for?
I keep wanting to buy an iPad, but I create more than I consume, and it's a pointless device for creators (except maybe for drawing/illustration). I have no idea why someone would want a touchscreen and iOS on a Macbook Neo. If you're trying to do something other than passively consume content, a Macbook Neo is a better device than an iPad and does not need a touchscreen.
iPads with a keyboard are superior for older people who need a more simple and secure operating system to:
- Read and write e-mails
- Read and write documents
- Do their banking
- Connect with friends through social media
- Look up a recipe or find gardening information
- Book hotels, book flights, book restaurants.
- Check maps.
That's hundreds of millions of customers.
