M-series iPads are more powerful than most of Apple's Mac Pros were. They have 8GB of RAM, but until recently so did Apple's best-selling MacBook models.
> artificially low limit on the number of windows
afaik its because ios has swap disabled so even with 8gb its gonna be tight with some apps (or even just browsing some heavy pages) > developers revolted and made it an opt-in
if they really wanted to, they could just remove the option and let the apps run on any platform... it might make some devs upset but (n=1) this dev is ok with it

The sad part is, of course, that Apple still hasn’t addressed the-useless-for-real-productivity part of the iPad. The fact that you can’t even open the web inspector in Safari strikes me as patently absurd. (Only remote inspection is possible, achieved by connecting your iPad to your Mac with a USB cable. Really, Apple?)
