But that continues to feel like something many years away.
This falls under fetish category. Steve Jobs' Post PC world analogy was off in that PCs are the cars, trucks, convertibles etc. and tablets are the scooter. Yes you can do all your grocery shopping on the scooter given the groceries fit, the shop isn't too far away, it's not raining, the mileage will be good etc - you making that one successful grocery trip doesn't mean scooter is a car replacement.
That analogy works pretty good: For many people a scooter is all they need for day-to-day life, and when they need car they borrow/rent one.
In general, if you don't have the shops close by, a car is more practical.

Still doesn't convince me to swap my 8 core ryzen 1700 laptop with 32gb ram and 1.5tb ssd and a RX580 for an ipad pro.
Everyone is so defensive about laptops here that you’d think they feel threatened by this post. Isn’t it in the spirit of the hacker community to be open to new modes of using computers? This is an experiment, that’s why they documented it and stated clearly that it’s an experiment. It’s something to think about and discuss, not a statement that you should throw your laptop out.
Pythonista (though I’m not python person) is always great to have especially with the new keyboard. Scriptable is also magical.
