It is getting absurd at this poin. Just get a laptop and call it a day

    iPads have ridiculously powerful cpus and gpus

    If an iPad ran steamos and supported steam controller in some kind of wacky timeline it would clean up all the competition. This thing is like 400g for 13 inch oled m4 beast battery all day. The numbers squeezed into this thin sleek and light thing are pure insanity

      If an iPad ran SteamOS, it would choke on running out of memory before Steam was done loading.

      Thats both true and not really relevant, considering the iPad’s game library.

      Edit: It would be really interesting to see an Apple-made portable game console, featuring it’s M-Series chips.

        That’s why it is so frustrating, the OS sucks for many things and is very limiting but admittedly what it can do it does solid. Gaming isn’t one of these things

          iPads have been overpowered for a long time. Long before Apple Silicon came around.

      Yea? Are the graphics of the ipad that good? They have iphone level chips right (except for the pro ones, but those are like $1000+)
