Exactly why I don't have an iPad. I would like one, but iOS isn't a serious operating system.

Instead of a Macbook with touch, I want an iPad with MacOS, for the situation where I want to watch movies on the go, but also get serious work done every once in a while.

Aren't the new NeoBooks exactly that? A tablet with MacOS (and a keyboard)?

No touch or tablet mode unfortunately, otherwise it would be pretty perfect as an educational device.
