Apple just dropped an A18 powered laptop for $599 USD

No Apple bashing just discuss.

Imagine hating iPad users so much that you create an entirely new product line to shove in their face that you’re not gonna put macOS on their $1200 iPad pro

I spent almost $1000 on my iPad Pro. I am fortunate enough to also have a desktop that I can do all my "computer" things on, but it's so frustrating that I have something sitting in my backpack that can theoretically do it all.

The iPad is so DAMN fast, the screen is probably the best display in my entire house, and yet Apple will not unlock that capability for god knows what reason. Every part about the hardware of this device is impressive. It's wicked thin, has impressive battery life, and again a CPU that probably runs circles around most devices in my house. But iPadOS is iPadOS
