The user, u/andrewkroger, explained that he took apart the assembly of their MacBook Pro’s damaged display and attached a magnetic iPad case in its place. His video shows the iPad docked in the MacBook Pro’s body and being used as a screen, and then functioning as a tablet after being undocked.
Andrew says they used SideCar – Apple’s new project that lets you mirror a Mac’s display on an iPad – to make this hybrid work. Plus, he uses $36 Mac app called Keyboard Maestro to connect the keyboard to the iPad during the boot-up process. If you’re curious about how to build this yourself, u/andrewkroger noted he’ll make a full video documenting the whole process soon, so you’ll want to bookmark or watch his Reddit profile for updates.
