I like what the iPad is and it just doesn’t make sense to have a keyboard and mouse with it. Let’s leave the tablets as is and use laptops for serious typing.

People write out books on their phones. There's no need to be so rigid in the distinction between the types of device.

But I do agree with the original point that everyone has failed to make a unified interface for both modes and a distinct switch would be better until they can converge from real world learned lessons.

Apple will never make a product like that though.

Cool, I think they're pointless slabs of wasted material. If I could run macOS on a macbook neo so should I be able to on an iPad, and it would make it a useful device because I do not have to spend all my time inside a terminal app to make it useful.

  • Cool, I don't. iPads are so useful for drawing, and I hate having to use a terminal app on an iPad.

    Different horses for different courses.
