having touchscreen laptop from Apple is not a bad idea😉
Actually, it is.
Windows tablets are a horrible UI experience as Windows has not evet been modified/optimised for touch and the reason that you absolutely need to use a stylus with Windows Surface touch screen tablets and why Microsoft always ships their Surface tablets with a free, included stylus with their Surface touch screen tablets because it is absolutely necessary and needed to more easily navigate that small Windows desktop/laptop UI.
Regular finger touch on a Windows touch tablet is horrible as many of the UI elements are simply too small and NOT spaced out properly for finger touch.
Even with the use of a needed and necessary stylus, Windows on a touch screen is still problematic to use as you are still dealing small UI elements that you really need to “target in” on, even with a stylus.
Apple is NOT interested in turning iOS/iPadOS into macOS and vice versa.
Apple may add some UI elements/features from macOS into iPadOS and some UI elements from iPadOS into macOS, but you will never see Apple tablets that will ever fully run macOS and macOS apps.
macOS, like Windows, is a laiptop/desktop designed OS and it is going to stay that way.
The day Apple allows macOS and macOS apps to run on an iPad will be the day I stop buying and using iPads and go back to my desktop Mac.
Leave iPads to run their own OS and OS compatible apps.
Leave macOS to run on Macs and its own compatible apps.
