    It’s like an iPad, but has to be plugged into the wall all the time. Rarely has a touch screen, so the only way to make it do stuff is with an external mouse and keyboard. Super useless.

        Touchscreen computer sold by Apple commonly used for multimedia consumption. The only input device is the touchscreen: no keyboard, mouse, everything is done with the touchscreen. It is commonly associated with Gen Alpha due to its ubiquitousness, cost, ease of use, portability and the ability to shut a kid’s mouth up in five seconds attracting Millennial parents who don’t want to have to give their Gen alpha kid their phone for brainless entertainment. Commonly seen with children under five in restaurants/aeroplanes/whatever in a bulky rubber case.
