Comment on Apple’s Craig Federighi on the long road to the iPad’s Mac-like multitasking
ilmagico@lemmy.world 5 days agoI don’t think a macbook can fit in my pocket … and I don’t think the (virtual) keyboard on an iphone is a “manufactured restriction” compared to a macbook

A small box you can stick into 3 different cases, one looking like a laptop, another like a tablet and another like a phone, can.
Or a phone you stick into the former two, like a dock station. One could do this with Ubuntu Phone, sadly they failed.
One can argue that the case of a MacBook and its screen and the keyboard account for much of its cost, but I think the fact itself that it’s a single device with different UIs would make many situations more convenient. No need to synchronize files - it’s already the same storage medium. No need to charge 3 separate devices. No need to stop your work when switching.
And yeah, I still think the “computer” part costs a lot.

It has been done before. It was deemed impractical.

Has been done before by whom and for what?
Say, the particular case could have been a failure because of Android not being a very good desktop OS, or the hardware being too weak. I can’t think of a precedent though, even such.
Deemed impractical by whom and for what?
Say, if it was a braindead monkey or an Apple fanboy, then irrelevant.

You guys sure display a crazy obsession with “Apple Fanboys” in this sub… As if the new release had you all flustered or something…
Can’t stay in the closet forever, ya know?
Gotta taste the Apple at some point!
