Someone built the MacBook-iPad hybrid of my dreams
I've been dreaming for years about a new kind of MacBook. It's a 2-in-1 device similar to Microsoft's Surface Pro, with a key difference. When in laptop mode, I'd get the full MacBook experience, running the latest macOS version complete with everything I love about it. But the tablet mode would let me detach the screen from the keyboard and get an iPad experience with iPadOS running on the tablet instead of macOS.
We already have a contraption like that out in the wild: Lenovo's ThinkBook Plus Gen 5 Hybrid. Announced at CES, it's a device that offers the user two computers in one: A Windows laptop and an Android tablet.
There's no telling if Apple will ever make something like this. However, I do hope that's what a foldable iPad/MacBook device would have to offer. Until then, there's a way to build yourself the perfect MacBook-iPad computer. It's called a MacPad, or at least that's what Federico Viticci named his new gadget.
