For the past three weeks, I've been using an Apple computer that doesn't exist:

A MacPad.

I created a hybrid Mac-iPad laptop and tablet, which lets me seamlessly switch from macOS to iPadOS. Or even use them together.

Here's my story: https://www.macstories.net/stories/macpad-how-i-created-the-hybrid-mac-ipad-laptop-and-tablet-that-apple-wont-make/

In just a couple of seconds, I can go from laptop to tablet. A seamless transition from macOS to iPadOS, and vice versa.

The MacPad is a dream form factor for me.

The part of the MacPad experience that broke my brain?

Realizing that I can use both macOS and iPadOS apps onscreen at the same time thanks to Slide Over.

It takes on a new meaning when your iPad is also your Mac display.

I will be doing a live Q&A all about the MacPad tomorrow with @club Plus and Premier members in our Discord server.

If you have questions for me about the setup / how I use it / etc. – please send them in advance.

“It’s a keyboard and trackpad for my Vision Pro;
It’s a Mac with a detachable display;
It’s an iPad Pro with an external keyboard and trackpad.”
Are you getting it?

@viticci Apple’s indefinitely holding them back, in fear of what you’ll do to them.

@viticci you’re not going to upgrade to the M3 iPad Air?

@viticci ok, when you were teasing the story last week I did expect something strange and funny, but this is next-level-shit :D
