“We are reinventing the iPad and we are calling it…
The MacPad”
*crowd goes wild, world hunger ends and world peace ensues.
My kidney is being removed as we speak so I have the funds ready to go.
Not a full workaround but setting up focuses helps with the Home Screen part of it
Starting from $3,000, and we think you're going to LOVE IT.
"watch something"
I want a landscape camera, having it on the “side” while connected to my Magic Keyboard is aggravating. It’s not worth the price to upgrade to have that feature alone. I have been having an internal debate lately about iPad Pro or MacBook Air. My iMac 27” is getting ready for replacement. It works fine but is aging and would be nice to have portable so I dont have to go to my office each time I want to do something its better at doing. There are still many things Mac manages better than iPad just due to formatting. I would miss my iPad, especially the ability to remove it from the keyboard and have a super light setup. I like the MacPad idea suggested. Combine the iPad Pro and MacBook Air into some meaningful device. Look like Mac when on a keyboard and iPad when off.
It's nice there are new iPads on the horizon. I'm hanging on to my 12.9" 5th Generation M1 Pro for the time being. I use mine exclusively for drawing and animation. My hope is there will be a larger (15"/16") version in the not-to-distant future. Something like that would be nice. If I'm not mistaken, such a machine has been rumored in the past.

Oh it's not that, she watches that with me!
Tim does not have a girlfriend.That's what he did.
Oh, I hope it really is finally happening! I'm ready! I'm pretty sure I'll be going for the next Air (and hopefully, pencil).
No, which is probably why there is so much interest in the new models. Finally getting some new tech which will actually make a difference.
I hope it's more than that, or else it really took them way too long to just swap the M2 processor for an M3.
Honest question. What is it that you can’t do?
I’m hearing this over and over (not just you), but without any specifics.
No, it doesn’t have a ‘Finder’, and it can’t run Xcode.
But what other specific task would you’d like it to do?
I would like a revised iPad mini, possibly with an M1, if thermals allow it. My iPad mini 4 is almost dead, battery wise and SoC-wise, iPadOS finished it off a long time ago.
All this uncertainty is making my stomach hurt. I wish Apple realized how they are impacting people.
Interesting - so you buy multiple but you only keep one between the 2 of you? I'd imagine you could have your own and she could have hers.
Yeah so what I would find awesome is to be able to use the iPad on the go (just like now), BUT when I am home and stationary I would like it to have the ability for it to hook up to an external display and from there use it like I would an actual computer, with keyboard, mouse and all the bells and whistles.
Install a proper clipboard manager, have a terminal with brew support, have any sort of proper background process manager, a decent desktop interface, run full software (Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro), Parallels, Visual Studio, browsers with different engines, support for multiple OSes, disk utilities for partition management, support for advanced security software (XDRs like Cortex or CrowdStrike), or basically anything that a Surface tablet can already do, even when they use Snapdragon processors.
They should be called iPad Pro for a reason.
Looking forward to see it switch to landscape mode and a better keyboard.
I'll probably stick to my M1 iPad Pro for another couple of years until M4 model comes out.

My 5 year old Mini 5 is still hanging in there, but I was really hoping for a new mini 7 so I could upgrade!
