Re:Apple walks Ars through the iPad Pro’s A12X system on a chip by theluketaylor on Wednesday November 07, 2018 @05:35PM (#18402974)
iOS is getting close to being all the computer my grandparents could ever need. My mother as well. My father and I are both in tech and would run into too many hard (and fairly artificial) limitations pretty quickly.

I won't ever switch my primary computer to something that needs an optional accessory to hold the screen up. ipad may be magical, but there is plenty of wonder left in a device can open up and start typing on a real keyboard immediately. It's been many years since my primary computer has been a desktop, but I'm not willing to compromise on the permanently attached keyboard and freedom to decide what executes.

An iPad is already the only computer my parents own. They don't even have smart phones.
