They keep making iPads more powerful while keeping them on the Fisher-Price OS and then wonder why no one is buying them for real work.

Who in their right mind will spend $1300-$1600 on this rather than a MacBook Pro?



You can install linux on the one with a fixed hinge and keyboard, but without a touchscreen. It’s the “book” line instead of the “pad” line.

I’m also annoyed that the iPad is locked down, even though it could clearly support everything the macbook does.

Why can’t we have a keyboard shortcut to switch between the iPad and Mac desktops or something?


Everyone knows the Fisher-Price OS is Windows XP (aka Teletubbies OS, on account of Bliss). iPads run Countertop OS (on account of their flat design).


This.
