Why don't you just use a 13" MacBook Air? It seems to solve all of your problems without any hacks.
"work from a small factor without carrying a brick to charge a 14", almost 3Kg device"
13" M2 Air - 15 Hours of battery life and 1.24kg. An iPad + Keyboard case is likely going to weight more than a MacBook Air anyways.
- rovr138 2y agoNot who you replied to, but in my case, I want to be able to take notes with a pen but also use a full browser. If I want a keyboard to type something, I’ll attach one. Basically a surface pro, but using an iPad. Thin, light, Apple ecosystem for sharing things. But I want Firefox with extensions, a good editor, etc.
- windowsrookie 2y agoThat's understandable. Having a separate device just for notes works better for me (e-ink preferably). But I certainly get the appeal of having everything all in one device.
- neya 2y agoI like the flexibility of the iPad. I use it a lot for note taking during meetings. I use it to draw architectural diagrams without having to deal with drag and drop interfaces. Plus, not always I find the need for a keyboard. In fact, my favorite setup was an Apple keyboard plus iPad Pro. It almost solved my use case with VS Codespaces. Almost. I think I may re-visit the Raspberry pi solution for now. These days, my work is almost mostly AI related, so I am on Google Colab most of the time too. So, the use case for a proper laptop without a touchscreen is diminishing with each day (for me).
