Since Apple gave the iPad the slogan "Your next computer, why is it a computer?", many people hope that the iPad can use the macOS system. After Apple introduced the iPad Pro with M 1 chip, everyone seemed to see the hope that the iPad would use the macOS system.
On the other hand, there have been calls for MacBooks to be equipped with touch screens, but for many years, we have not seen Apple provide touch screens for MacBooks. However, after Apple introduced the macOS Big Sur system, especially from the layout of the system's menu bar, many people think that the MacBook computer has the possibility of being equipped with a touch screen.
For the above voice, although Apple has always denied it, people are increasingly seeing hope.
There are two possibilities in the future: one is that the iPad will use the macOS system, and the other is that the MacBook will launch a touch-screen version. In contrast, because iPad Pro has M 1 chip blessing, it is obvious that the former is more likely.
However, the question is, when iPad can really use macOS system, do you choose iPad or MacBook computer?
To answer this question, you can actually answer the following question first-how many people will choose the iPad with macOS system? Many people say that iPad is more productive with macOS system. There is no doubt that macOS is more productive than iPadOS, but whether macOS is productive has always been a controversial issue. In fact, for many users, macOS system is not a productivity tool, otherwise, there will be no phenomenon that many Mac computer users deliberately install Windows system.
Personally, if iPad uses macOS system, it will have an impact on the sales of MacBook computers. For many Apple users, MacBook computers are not just needed. Usually, when people collect Apple's family buckets, MacBook computers are often the last entrance, and when iPad uses macOS system, I am afraid it will be directly removed from the family buckets. After all, the macOS system is not a productivity tool. I have already experienced it on the iPad, so there is no need to buy a computer.
Back to the topic, choose iPad or MacBook computer? If you like to use touch screen and pursue convenience, iPad is undoubtedly the best choice. Moreover, the iPad also has the function of cellular data, which will truly realize office anytime and anywhere.
I usually use the MacBook computer mainly to browse the web and process words, and I don't need a lot of third-party software, nor do I have professional large-scale software. Therefore, there are still some expectations for iPad using macOS system.
Apple's Global Developers Conference is coming soon. I hope this conference will bring some heavy news and bring you surprises about the iPad.
