Doesn't this already exist as the iPad Pro? Multitasking was introduced with the product line. They even heavily pushed the keyboard and pen.

- tsmarsh 8y agoI use my ipad pro as a laptop replacement. It works better than I expected except for a few quirks around keyboard support in apps like safari and aws workspaces which are irritating enough to make coding bear impossible. But in many ways its better than a laptop, especially around note taking and reading.
- TheOtherHobbes 8y agoFor most content dev, especially media creation, productivity is proportional to screen area. The iPad Pro is fine for limited tasks, including simple media creation. But there’s no way anyone is going to want to edit a Hollywood movie or record and mix a complex album on one.
- chaostheory 8y agoThis is a good summary of what can be done with an iPad Pro. https://paulstamatiou.com/made-on-an-ipad-pro/ https://paulstamatiou.com/made-on-an-ipad-pro/ It's pretty in line with your opinion; just a lot more detail.
