JustSomeRandomGuy, 08 Mar 2022It should run MacOS if it has the M1. it shouldn't run... moreWhat desktop cpu? Keep dreaming. M1 is very far from desktop cpu, its mobile chipset.

            They say it's a powerful device but honestly it's just a powerful chip device is still very restricted and not so powerful.

                  Insanely powerful for the price.

                    so no 120hz refresh rate? apple 2022. well I get the hype for m1, but 99% of people who buy this tablet, will utilise like 50% of that power, max. 120hz will make a better overall experience then m1 for normal users.

                            ipadOS is for touch oriented
                            So you have M1 for what you want.you just chose the OS

                              64 gb storage with M1. Now this feels like never ending nightmare.

                                  This is the best thing in entire event today. Glad they kept the same price.

                                    Some people are simply ret*r**d by asking why iPad is not running Mac OS. They should learn more about electronic and engineering 🤦🏻‍♂️

                                      It should run MacOS if it has the M1. it shouldn't run a mobile OS if it uses a desktop SoC

                                        Now THIS is the deal with that powerful M1 SoC, even tho the base model only has 64GB of storage + Wifi only. But this iPad really rock, I think I'm gonna upgrade from my iPad 6th gen to this one.
