Second CPU idea is brilliant. I’d buy an iPad for second screen, second CPU and occasional plane/hotel Netflix/Youtube.

Mac Mini = iPad minus screen, minus iOS restrictions, with Apple Silicon and optional 10GbE wired.

They are supposedly working on a 19" foldable all-screen laptop that's a few years away.

For those just looking for a second screen with their iPad or MacBook, Universal Display does exactly this, given you’re already in the Apple ecosystem.

Second CPU would be nice, too.

What is Universal Display?

The built-in MacOS feature that does this called continuity… but I know it was renamed once (used to be sidecar). Maybe you’re referring to an old name? Or is it a product?

Edit: I looked it up and it appears that the app is continuity and “Sidecar” and “Universal Control” are features. IDT those names show up in the OS UX though.
