Personally? Yes. If my iPad Pro could plug into a thunderbolt port at my desk and become a desktop running MacOS, unplug and turn into an iPadOS device, and then turn back to macOS when attached to the keyboard, it’d be amazing for me

Same. Or conversely if the iPad Pro switched to MacOS mode when you connected the Magic Keyboard, I’d be pretty happy

Hopefully. iPad OS is so close. Really wish connecting iPad pros to a keyboard just flipped on MacOS mode

If surface pros had MacOS and terminal , you’d be right. Doing the work I do on a Windows PC would be somewhere between impossible and very difficult.

A lot of people use MacOS on MacBook Airs that have literally the same compute power as iPad pros: The M1 chip. These days you can ALMOST accomplish everything such a person might want on an IPad Pro with the Smart Keyboard, but not all. I personally need terminal and non-mobile web browsers for my work. But I don’t need a ton of compute power, and when I do, I normally remote into a desktop PC that has a beefy chip you won’t find in most laptops.

If I could initiate sidecar from my iPad, it’d be close.

What I really want is the iPad experience for recreational activities like reading and note taking/pencil input. and the Mac experience when working. I do a lot in terminal and web dev that doesn’t always play nice with the iPad browser. Plus full USB MacOS support and hard drive support would be nice.

Really frustrating how close iPadOS and MacOS are without taking that last little step.
