I think it'd be fine if all I did was google docs, email, etc to just have an iPad.

TBH This says more about how clunky and annoying the desktop OS is. Do most people care about 80% of what it does? Especially when I just want to edit some docs, browse the web, and use a few apps? What's the argument for having a laptop?

Nice keyboard for typing.

ChromeOS provides that minimal experience.

There are decent iPad keyboards out there these days, even 7-8 years ago I could author a full google doc on an ipad.
