> The ability to run Xcode? Maybe run Linux in a VM (no, emulation does not count). Maybe run nvim with python/node/rust/go/gcc toolchains on the iPad? How about Wireshark? I really liked using Nixdroid on my Pixel, why can't I have something similar on iOS/iPadOS?
Android can run Android Studio. Why can't an iPad run Xcode?
How much of that could you do on your Dynabook? How was web browsing? The office suites? Video and audio editing? The office suites? Even the games?
This compact tablet runs on a Snapdragon X Plus chip and is built for casual browsing and office work. It’s not high-end
The screen has a semi-high brightness IPS panel, 2196×1464 pixel resolution, and a 60 or 90 Hz frame rate. You’ll have to set it up manually; dynamic frequency is not supported. It’s not full pro quality on the screen,
With a 12-inch screen and 3:2 aspect ratio
The processor doesn’t even stack up well against the cheap base model iPad.
So it’s slower, a worse display, a worse aspect ratio for a tablet, and Microsoft’s x86 emulator is notoriously slow and there are many fewer ARM native apps?
As for Dynabook like experience, given our age, you can certainly find the difference on your own.
