AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE announced GPD MicroPC 2 with Intel Core 3 N350 announced Nintendo Direct to unveil Switch 2 games for second half of 2026 iOS 27 Beta Is Out, But You'll Need to Join a Waitlist to Try the New Siri AI Everything Apple Announced at WWDC 2026

Yep, all them speculations might be really true as Asus has confirmed a MacTablet for Apple.

It’s not a huge secret that Apple sources a lot of their spare parts from manufacturers like Asus, Samsung, FoxConn so when one partner says an Apple Tablet is in the works, it must be. And Taiwan PC manufacturer Asus is helping Apple create its own Tablet PC and they’ve got pictures to back it up.

CNet UK has the full story.

Will this fly? The tablet PC market is not that huge. A touch screen MacBook or MBP might be cool but an entirely screen-only tablet may just be a novelty that could be doomed to failure, something Apple has had before (remember Apple Newton?). Hopefully, this time they’ll succeed.

Thinkpad controls this market with the X-series tablet. They cost around $2,900. Batteries can also last up to 8 hours. So imagine a mac tablet selling for $4,000 w/ batteries lasting just 3.5 hours. Never underestimate fanboyism, however, these will sell like hotcakes even if it’s just an Asus in a mac casing and logo.
