I'll take the hit if it means not being locked into Apple's ecosystem. It's not worth the trade-off.

That's great, but the most compute-intensive task I can imagine myself using an M5 iPad for is watching YouTube.

If they're going to make a touchscreen laptop, why not just put MacOS on the iPad?

The two have been converging for quite some time, mostly with iOS gaining productivity functionality.

My Linux laptop has a touchscreen and I often forget it’s there - it’s not that useful in the laptop format.
