This doesn’t make sense as described. The Mac and its apps are optimized for keyboard and mouse. A tablet form factor would at a minimum require Apple Pencil; fingers aren't precise enough. Combine that with the terrible iOS/iPad virtual keyboard and it does not seem compelling.

So apple will invent an 18.8-inch laptop? I feel like they already sell foldable devices. What is this title?

Damn! I didn’t even know that I own a „foldable device“ until I looked at my MacBook...
