Question: how much performance is enough performance? If you ask Apple, the answer's always "Not nearly enough!" as its latest iPad Pro 13-inch (M5) once again moves the goalpost even further for both raw power and efficiency. That's due to the brand-spanking new Apple M5 chip, which is also making a cameo inside the latest MacBook Pro, so we get proper desktop power inside a device that you can watch TikToks on. Apple has also introduced some other important upgrades to the hardware that also...

Apple is os time to apologize to Microsoft for attacking the Surface and just release a MacPad. Put OSX on it and just change the UI a bit to make it touch friendly and stop wasting time.


The iPad can be so much more.

.looks like a great tablet but unless you are a professional graphics artist or do hnor ave a laptop (which just a side note....if I am going to have a computer it's going to be a desktoo) and wish to attach a keyboard then as the artical says and I agree with, this tablet is overkill. My Tab S10 Plus doesn't have near the raw horse power but does a smooth stutter free job a running anything i have thrown at it. Video, games, web surfing, etc. and has a beautiful display and attached S-pen.

This 22″ OLED from UPERFECT shows how amazing bendable monitors can be, 3K resolution, 120 Hz, and folds for easy portability. A futuristic concept, but still pricey and not widely available yet.

Agreed. I designed a MacPad before the original iPad was even launched. It even had wireless charging and a 'magsafe' like magnetic dock, so it looked like that funky iMac from years ago with the half sphere base station. Apple missed an opportunity with the iPhone Duo too to make it run iPadOS or make a folding iPad mini, with voice call capability. Thing is, Apple want us to buy an iPhone, iPad and Macbook, Mini, Studio or iMac! I want just one device with MacOS and Apple Pencil.
