that is correct.
Apparently someone was able to actually install Linux,
not emulated, on an iPad.
by your own metric, the fact that it exists at all indicates there is a
'high demand' for it.
They rarely ran MacOS, they just liked the Apple
hardware better than most of the Windows laptops at the time. With the
M1 based Macs of course this is no longer possible,
of course, you are wrong yet again.
yes it is possible.
currently, windows works quite well on apple silicon macs in a virtual
machine. it will be bootable soon (which offers very little advantage
over virtualization).
but there are now
some high-quality Windows laptops available, albeit.
there are, however, they cost more and do not have anywhere near the
battery life and performance of a macbook air or pro.
one major problem is that intel-based laptops must throttle when on
battery power, greatly limiting its capabilities, whereas apple silicon
does not have that problem and provides full performance on *both*
battery *and* mains power.
and sometimes both battery life and performance isn't great: <

For one, I only averaged three hours and 35 minutes of battery life,
which would be a big problem even if everything else about this
device was incredible. But even while on power, I could feel the
thing chugging toward the higher end of my workload. For example,
while I was operating a second screen over Thunderbolt, loading some
files from external drives, running a few downloads, and trying to
work over that in 20-ish Chrome tabs, the Latitude had visible
slowdown. I don't see this as an unrealistic office workload, so
that's concerning.
