@bazzacollins that'd instantly batter almost every other hybrid out there. Would be good.
Wild theory: could Apple release a hybrid MacBook that acts as a Mac in laptop mode, and converts to an iPad when screen is detached?

@mikejjennings Quite. MacBook part could simply sleep when screen is detached, and resume when screen's locked back in. -
@bazzacollins yeah. And if Apple could make it strong enough, the join could be magnetic and minimal - like the power connectors. -
@mikejjennings Indeed. I'm faxing this over to Cook now. -
@bazzacollins@mikejjennings you mean like the Transformer Book Trio? -
@TimSmalley@mikejjennings Yes, but that works. -
@bazzacollins@mikejjennings Yes, it does work. -

@bazzacollins Oh, Barry… -
@chrisphin@bazzacollins *gets popcorn* -
@njkobie@bazzacollins No, no. Not going to get drawn into this! I love Barry deeply but he’s a fucking idiot sometimes.

@chrisphin@njkobie Us visionaries have to put up with this kind of abuse. -
@bazzacollins@njkobie Visionary. Yes. The kind of visions one has after a tab or two of particularly dirty LSD. -
@chrisphin@njkobie I genuinely see no good reason why it couldn't work beautifully, but I'd rather catch Ebola than debate this here. -
@bazzacollins@njkobie We should do another Google Hangout with@kennyhemphill.

@chrisphin@njkobie@kennyhemphill Not sure Google's got the server capacity after last time's smash hit. - 2 more replies

@bazzacollins At which point Tim Cook would tear off his face and reveal he was Steve Ballmer all along. -
@CraigGrannell Apple would *love* to perfect something Microsoft has failed at three times.

@bazzacollins No, because it would be horrible and because it would require unified OS which is not happening any time soon. -
@adambanksdotcom No, it absolutely wouldn't. iPad section runs iOS, and turns into a dumb screen when attached to laptop/keyboard. -
@bazzacollins Oh, ok, makes sense. In that case I revise my answer to no, because it would be inelegant :)
