> It seems inevitable that Apple will launch an Arm laptop form factor with iOS. Dropping 32bit already killed all the paid software my wife and I had, so please, Apple, go Arm soon before we buy any more. At least that way anything we buy for our Intel machines will probably be multi-arch and ready for the future.
You only bought 32-bit apps?
Nice keyboard that brings iPad Pro closer to Macbook Air. It seems inevitable that Apple will launch an Arm laptop form factor with iOS. Has Apple blocked keyboard makers from using the Smart Connector on iPad Pro 3? All 3rd-party keyboards for iPP3 are using Bluetooth, which does not have a good security track record. Apple's iPad Pro keyboard does not have backlighting, media keys or good key travel. For iPad Pro 1…

I have seen a comment about this on every other Apple app store / arch thread here on HN. Anybody who knows better feel free to clarify or let me know if I misread them all.
I have made something similar by detaching the display from an old Macbook Air. That gives me the keyboard that I love the most with the best trackpad, placed below the keyboard the way I like it, working with my PC.

Hm I was processing Fuji RAW images last night on my 2019 MacBook Air with darktable quite happily. I'm sure it's not the fastest but given I'm am amateur in the field it seems like a perfectly fine way to work.
Fuji GFX 100 Raws? Because that's what I meant :D
As someone suffering from RSI, I’d buy this in an instant if it worked with MacBook Pro and connects wirelessly (so that I can rest the keyboard on my lap). Promising !
BTW: I made mine for my own tastes:

Luckily I haven’t paid for any “serious” software but it was really annoying to have I install Win10 on a desktop machine again so my wife can remote-play her games. Between that and usb-c she kinda hates her new MacBook Air.

Have you ever tried to process RAW pictures (including pictures from Hasselblad and Fuji medium format cameras, or Canon and Sony full frame cameras) and/or edit 4K 60p video on a MacBook? Well, me neither, because it's simply impossible. Surprisingly enough, that's what I do on a regular basis on an iPad Pro. The power of the ARM setup on that machine is unbelievable. So, there you go, that's single-handedly a reaso…
Yes I have both. It’s not “impossible”. Why on earth would you think that? It’s just slower. That Macbook Air you recommend uses the same processor as the 12” MB did.
Other features: USB-C connector. It let me swap windows/alt-option so the command key is in the right place. Light weight plastic, but it’s Ducky so it still feels well built. Surprisingly, the silent red switches bottom-out quieter than my MacBook keys.
I leave you with my PgDn macro: sleep snug, smug.
IMHO: The Macbook (the small one, that was killed) made more sense than these iPad + keyboard attachments. You had a one, slim package that was easy to use on lap and carry around with one hand (even if open). It was able to run normal software, there was no need to resort to hacking to do for example software development. The negative thing with Macbook was the price point. It was a bit expensive to have as a second…
I never used the old MacBook, long time Linux and Windows user. But then I started using an iPad for flying (was mandatory, no other platform provided), now an iPad Pro. First I used it only for flightplanning with the official apps, but since I have a keyboard for it I no longer bring a laptop and just use the iPad Pro + keyboard as my "computer" when in a hotel as well. 90% of normal people usage works fine. For co…
