    I would be way way more excited about this if I could actually use the iPad as a dev machine rather than just a big web browser.

    Gimme a full terminal, let me run containers, open up installing full Mac apps, and I will buy one today to replace my aging 2017 MacBook Pro.

    Of course, then their “product differentiation” vanishes and the shareholders make slightly less money…

      Amen brother.

      I’ll buy a 13’’ iPad Pro right now if it could do all those “non-mobile OS” things for a perfect small productivity machine.

      Hell, I’ll even buy the official pen, keyboard and the non-existent docking station for office use.
