I am admittedly going out on a (short) limb and guess that you have never used an iPad with a mouse or touchpad.
Since everything I wrote in my other reply to this post is factually correct, to what do you disagree?
I have and I like it. And I expect if the Mac interface and small pointer were offered I’d like that too.
If MacOS is optimized to work with a small pointer on an iPad-sized screen(11”) you aren’t likely to like the touch experience. If MacOS is optimized for a touch interface on an iPad-sized screen it will likely feel cramped as the previous poster said. This will never be a case of “two great tastes that taste great together”.
I still can’t figure out why so many people are hung up on MacOS on an iPad. Even with a keyboard and mouse you will all bitch about the lack of ports. What you all really want is a MacBook Air with a touchscreen and a 180 degree hinge.
Wouldn’t apply - we were discussing the possibility of using the iPad when a mouse and keyboard are attached.
I don’t want MacOS on an iPad. Although having the same cross-pollination of apps the Mac is getting (from iPads) the other direction only seems fair.
Awful!! Consumerism, junk in our world... what a **** show!
In a currently unlisted ad on YouTube, Apple is promoting the versatility, portability, and power of the M1 iPad Pro in a fun musical inspired by The Little Mermaid's "Part of Your World" soundtrack.
In the ad, which features the main character using an M1 iPad Pro, Magic Keyboard, and Apple Pencil, multiple users can be seen struggling with their old PCs indoors while hoping that they can someday use an iPad Pro instead. The lyrics and soundtrack of the ad are completely based around The Little Mermaid's "Part of Your World," but the visuals tell the majority of the story.
In one scene, an office employee using an old Windows PC can be seen looking out at a girl using an iPad Pro with the Magic Keyboard in a park while singing "up where they walk, up where they run, up where they stay all day in the sun." The ad ends with all the characters singing "wish I could be, part of that world," referencing the world of using an iPad Pro.
The ad, uploaded on June 4, is currently unlisted on YouTube, meaning only those with a link will be able to watch it. It's unclear why Apple has decided not to make it public or if it plans to in the near future.

The one thing I learned over the course of 2020 and the pandemic, was just how many people don't regularly wash their hands at all.
While it's a nice use of "Part Of Your World," I will admit an iPad Pro could never be an effective replacement computer, which is why I am happy with my M1 MacBook Air.
Also, it got the hilarious naughty parody of "Part Of Your World" from 2007 in my head (which I'm not sharing here due to it being NSFW.)

That’s a baseless generalization. Your view seems to be people (the masses) are not knowledgeable…how in earth do people buy cars?
They say "part of THAT world" you fools!
Apple is literally playing you all like a fiddle. Listen to the commercial, last 5 seconds...
You people are so engulfed in your percieved elitism that you miss this lyric change, which completely changes the message. You can deny, you can "call me out," but you cannot erase this fact. Every single one of you is brainwashed, and the people that arent, like myself, will get a permanent ban... just for speaking the truth.
Again. They dont sing "part of your world" they sing that they wish they could be "part of THAT world." After this, anyone with half a brain can see how this company is holding technology back. This is ridiculous... derrr "Whats a computer?" UHHH its that thing your using.
