MacPad: How I Created the Hybrid Mac-iPad Laptop and Tablet That Apple Won’t Make by Federico Viticci for MacStories

Sorry for the chunked up quotes, but I've had sharing this post on deck since it came to light a month ago. The mad lad did it: he built a convertible Mac-iPad-Vision Pro device that works within Apple's own ecosystem. This project is proof deep integration and ingenuity can come together to make something...magical.
