A radical thought – is the MacBook Air 13 inch being merged with the iPad Air Pro

Here’s a thought I was thinking about the other day.

Rumours seem to indicated that Apple is building a larger iPad, at a 12.9 inch screen. This is rumoured to be called the iPad Pro. But then I got thinking, why would you need a Macbook Air, why not merge both products into one.

How would this be done? Well simply. Create the large iPad Pro at 12.9 inch and have a keyboard that clicks on with magnets that also acts as the screen cover.

So do you think this is science fiction, or a future reality. My view is Apple will move towards this form factor, but not instantly. Maybe in 1-2 years. Apple have been known to bring out a new product which destroys another of theirs, so I do not think this setup is unrealistic.

  1. I’m hoping so. Windows PCs seem to be moving more and more in this direction with devices like the surface and the Venue 11 pro.
    iOS is a great mobile OS but not something to replace a desktop with, what you describe running OSX or the windows alternatives would be.
