Do you think Applel could pull off a two-in-one?

I think a an ARM laptop/tablet that could switch between an iOS and OS X interface depending on how you're using it could work. They could even use a fat binary to keep the iOS interface and OS X interface programs in one file.

Steve would have not allowed this

then again applel is taking shit decisions so why not

the problem with a 2 in 1 where you completely switch around the OS is that the entire experience is changed. say you use x program to work on y file. you switch out to tablet mode, how do you find the app? does the app know the file? is it the latest file? do i have to download this app for the tablet separately or does it auto install
do devs have to make another app just for the tablet?

Will OSX run on an ARM cpu?

do you really want app developers trying to make desktop apps? of course, almost nobody would actually cooperate and make both versions, many desktop versions would just be a window saying "switch to tablet mode! :^)" or vice versa

not to mention that ARM OSX would be like the switch from PPC to Intel - not even worth considering just for a meme laptop.

Yes

iOS and OS X are the same except for the interface (UIKit instead of AppKit)

You can even run iOS programs on OS X with a simple compatibly layer

Apple's iOS simulator works the exact same way.

Wait. Do iOS apps include x86 binaries too? Or are you talking about emulation?

Proper windows store apps should detect switching into tablet mode and automatically reorganize UI accordingly. At least SDK provides all means to implement this with modest efforts.

They would never do that because people wouldn't buy iPads anymore.
