Add more connectors, and a bigger mechanical hard drive. And then you could attach a mechanical keyboard, on a hinge. Not a desktop, but something you could use on .. your lap. Call it a lap computer, something like that.
You're a genius. I'm in. I think we can corner this new market you've just envisioned. We'll leave that old, outdated market of thin and light tablets to Apple.
There are laptops already. They’re the ones with the screen on the top, with the keyboard and the computer on the bottom, and they fold apart.
I’m talking about a tablet. A tablet is pretty much a laptop, but instead of 2 necessary sections - a screen and a keyboard - it has a touchscreen. No reason that a tablet has to lack basic functionality because the people at apple want to sell a tablet and a real computer. More connectors for the tablet - check. Bigger mechanical hard drive. Maybe yes, maybe no, doesn’t matter. And, yes, obviously some people find it a little bit easier to type on real keyboards, so you would want to support a usb keyboard and a usb mouse, but it probably wouldn’t be attached to the tablet. But the tablet, with the 10 inch touchscreen, or the 7 inch screen does not have to be thin or light.
What makes a tablet a tablet isn’t the thinness, or the lightness, but the touchscreen. Making a tablet too thin or too light means you have to sacrifice functionality.
But most of the apple people I know really don’t do much of anything with their apples except feel good about themselves for owning them. I’m a windows person, never owned an apple, but the apple owners I know have me teach them how to use their computers when they have a problem.
