Early benchmarks prove M1 iPad Pros are 50% faster than previous generation

Try to keep up.And nobody has ever suggested removable RAM and SSDs in an iPad. Try to stop making stuff up.
I can see an argument for the iMac Pro, or Mac Pro, but even the upcoming iMac 27 inch / 32 inch version might not be user upgradeable, given the fact that few users ever avail themselves of upgrades.
Buy what you need up front, and consider Apple financing if you can't meet the initial outlay, then sell when it stops meeting your needs, and buy a newer model.You seem to be conflating upgradeability with OS. They are different issues.But, you suggest you buy a tablet when your needs call for a tablet then sell it and buy a Mac when your needs call for a Mac?
Because those needs are increasingly not separate.I was helping my grandson with his homework last night and his assignments regularly switch back and forth between needing a tablet and needing a laptop. Buying and lugging 2 devices around for one job just isn't reasonable now that technology has made one device for both tasks very possible.
As for your son and his homework;
Buy your grandson a Surface, because there isn't a future for what you want from Apple.
Problem solved.
See how that works?His school already did that because they weren't stupid enough to buy two separate devices when one would do. It works well -- Except it's a crappy Dell running a Celeron processor.I'm just waiting for Apple to catch up and hoping they don't fall too far behind. They have a lot to offer the world once they drop their purity tests.
What part of "Buy your grandson a Surface" did you miss?

Now what's your excuse; cost?
No, you aren't getting a 2 in 1 from Apple anytime soon, so move on...Yep! You got that one right! Perhaps you have money to throw away. But, once his school gave him a functioning, but cheap & crappy, machine that did the job we weren't going to throw money away on something just because it would be nicer.But, we're still waiting for Apple to get off their duff and produce a viable 2 in 1. They keep inching closer. But haven't quite made it to the finish line -- yet.
.....LOL.... Nice twist and spin to, once again, avoid admitting how wrong you are:The subject was:Imagine an iPad able to run, at the whim of the user based on his needs:-- iPad OS-- MacOS-- An fully functional ARM based WindowsIt would be the most awesome machine on the planet.Which you lost, so you invented an argument about whether iPads should have:RAM is soldered onto the logic board, how you cannot change the SSD yourselfWhich you also of course lost because nobody but you was suggesting iPads should have upgradeable RAM and storage!And now you're trying to switch yet again to a debate over whether an 11" 2 in 1 running a Celeron processor (from 20 years ago!) is good machine.I'm getting dizzy watching you run around in circles trying to make a cogent argument.
I stated that all of those devices, iPad, Mac Book Air, Mac Book Pro, and now iMac 24 inch, are very thin, and very similar in build, so why would it be expected that any of them would be upgradable, including next generation Mac Book Pro's?
As for your grandson's computer, those Celeron processors are still being updated, and are still being spec'd in new machines, so you're lying about the age and performance of those computers provided by the school. I merely pointed out that you had options of purchasing a much better 2 in 1 for your grandson, instead of complaining about the "crap" device that he has access to, that you also find perfectly capable.
A common thread of you posts is to complain about everything, do nothing to mitigate that in any way, and then continue to post with pride on what a cheap bastard you are.
Maybe you don't really want to be in the Apple ecosystem at all.
LOL... It has nothing to do with reading comprehension. It's about how you just bounce to the next topic whenever you lose a debate.
Certainly not the debate about Mac OS on the iPad, which isn't happening, nor the debate about Apple marketing a 2 in 1, which is far off, if ever, and certainly not holding out hope for a user upgradable devices, excepting the larger screen iMac and the Mac Pro.
You on the other hand, will not find an Apple computer to your liking for years, at best, hence why I suggested the MS Surface 3, which meets all of your requirements, and would certainly meet your grandson's needs.
Oh yeh, that's right. You never lose a debate -- instead you simply bounce on to some other gripe without losing a beat.
Oh wait, Surface 3 isn't user upgradable either.
Now your shit out of luck.
Of course, you bing a complete dick is not causal to respondents to your posts being "angry and hateful".
You have a mote in your eye...
That ignore button exists for a reason, best exemplified by GeorgeBMac.
