Apple has little curiosity in merging iPadOS and macOS, or bringing its desktop working system to its touchscreen pill. So a Chinese language modder took it upon themselves to create a hybrid laptop computer they’re calling the iPadBook that includes each working techniques in a single machine that permits you to change from macOS to iPadOS by merely detaching its display screen.
Modder Shu Chan began by eradicating the show from an M1 MacBook Air and putting in a custom-designed, 3D-printed magnetic hinge they’ve dubbed MagBaka that makes use of 12 magnets to carry an iPad Professional in place as its substitute display screen. The dock works alongside a {custom} case for the iPad Professional, and though the pill isn’t fairly as broad because the MacBook Air when linked, there’s a excessive degree of polish to this mod that just about makes it seem like one thing Apple would make.
When hooked up, the iPad Professional serves as an exterior (and first) show for the MacBook Air full with contact and Apple Pencil help, and when eliminated it turns into a typical M4-powered iPad Professional.
