Title: Native trackpad support on iOS and the iPad Pro opens the door to dual booting to Windows 10 on ARM
Post by: Redaktion on March 27, 2020, 02:08:17
Apple has long supported the ability for the Mac to be able to dual boot into Windows via Bootcamp. Now that it comes with native trackpad support, it opens up the intriguing possibility of dual booting into Windows 10 on ARM.

It's hard to say if the digitizer interface would be properly supported, also I don't believe many swallow SP's horrid price-performance just for it to run Windows on ARM. How many of those SPX's did they really sell?

Seriously, the SPX should have been half the price. I don't care what delusions MSFT and Qualcomm have about the SPX being a top tier device, it's only worth $600 for a loaded model, at best. It should have been the next Surface Go (or priced in that range), not their range topping flagship. That's just delusional pricing.

Agreed.
