Yeah, just rub in the fact that an A series chip is capable of running a real OS.

- kstrauser 7mo agoI don’t ever wanna hear a word about how my iPad Pro isn’t good enough to run macOS, so that’s why Apple won’t let me have a Terminal.app on it.
- jeroenhd 7mo agoApple isn't good enough at software design to make macOS work on touch screens. Plus, they don't want to compete with themselves. Why sell an iPad running macOS when they can sell you a Macbook and an iPad instead?
- kstrauser 7mo agoBecause now, at this price, there’s not a situation where I’d buy an iPad Pro over this. Although it’s marketed as a “pro”, device, a keyboard plus professional apps minus a touch screen is more pro than the same device minus keyboard minus apps plus touch screen.

- cozzyd 7mo agowhy wouldn't it be? I'm running real OSs on ancient TI ARM chips that are probably 50 times slower.
- jwrallie 7mo agoI also see myself going for one of these instead of an iPad once my current one goes unsupported, just to have a real OS.
