iPadOS is going to bridge that gap a lot more and should be out of beta in the next 30 days.

Apple doesn't have a touchscreen laptop, so in many ways I can appreciate them taking their time on this.  Windows with touchscreens sucked until they made the Surface.

It sounds like you are settling on a very good choice.  But it’s not really an iPad or any kind or pad or tab, it’s more of an ultraportable laptop with a touchscreen display that can transform into a desktop.

Which is fine.  I used to say an iPad isn’t a small computer, it’s a big phone.  I don’t think that has really changed. What has changed is the average person is no longer interested in having a computer, they want a smartphone, and/or a handheld Netflix viewing device.  But for actual computer work, phones and tablets are pretty lame.  Not sure where a Chromebook fits.

    All the ports you need

With two high-definition video ports, a gigabit Ethernet port, four USB 3.0 ports, and an audio output, you have all the connections you need. Transform your Surface into a desktop PC by plugging in your Dock with the Surface Connect cable.

    Dock to a nice large monitor, a normal sized keyboard and mouse.

    Be nice to drop it into a slot when I am at the office.

    Dock to what?  It's got a keyboard and stand built in.

        My wife is busy (for months) planning some travel for this
        fall.  She told me I am not taking my laptop.  Too big, too
        heavy etc etc.  (I actually left it on a train at Heathrow
        once, had enough time to go catch that same train and found
        it.)But I digress.

        She says I can have an iPad.  I acquiesce due to the fact that
        she micro manages these trips and I don’t have to do a thing. 
        She likes it that way and I like it that way.  I just go where
        I am told to go and I pay.  She makes sure I have clean
        clothes and the proper tickets needed for travel as well as
        hotel rooms.  It is actually pretty wonderful.  She teams up
        with my UK son-in-law as he is like this too.

        But again, I digress.

        I know almost zero about iPads.  I need a human size
        keyboard.  Hopefully one with keys that physically move.  I
        would like to be able to plug in an HDMI monitor too.  Mouse?

        Dear Borg, what are my options?
