So it's a large ipad, with a fixed keyboard, no touch screen and runs MacOS. It will sell by the bucketload.

Personally, I'd love to see Apple revisit the 12" MacBook with this processor instead. It was a brilliant design, just hampered by dreadful performance.

.... I don't get it.

Whilst I welcome the changes that iPadOS 26 brings, finally freeing it from its iOS-based shackles, it does seem like they are trying to Mac-i-fy the iPad with the additions of a menu bar, pointer, beefed-up Files app, and Expose-style multitasking. At this point, it makes you wonder whether they should just stick MacOS on the damned thing, particularly, if like the author, you want full-fat apps and not stripped down iPad versions of apps.
