MacBook Pro = iPad Pro?

[UBS28]

The only difference is more memory and not having a touch screen (which laptops have nowadays)?

There has never been a time I felt like the only appropriate response is “Cooly story bro”... Until now.

You saw it during the WWDC, a Mac mini with an iPad chip in it is able to run Mac Big Sur without problems.

I have both and they both work well (2020 iPad Pro & Magic Keyboard and 2020 MacBook Pro 13). I use them both for work and play. When I'm mobile at my job and walking around, I go with the iPad Pro, but when I'm doing my reports I tend to stick with the MacBook Pro. They both work well when using Microsoft Office, but I use the MacBook Pro for serious editing and writing. But the iPad Pro will do just as fine. I travel a lot for work and I tend to like the mobility of using the iPad Pro. I also like the fact that the MacBook Pro comes with 4 ports.

I doubt it that this is the same hardware we will see in a MBP.

But I though it was really impressive that A12Z can run transpiled x86 Maya smoothly.

An an open OS But yes, on the hardware side there will be a lot of similarities. The MBP will likely feature more and faster cores. On the GPU side the 13" will probably be not too far from the 5300M... the current iPad is just 30-40% slower, so the same GPU will do better in a larger chassis.
