Could you build this?

No Running macOS on a tablet requires low-level kernel, bootloader, and GPU driver work for a specific SoC, and the Adreno Metal path is still in progress. This is systems and hardware engineering that vibe coding cannot substitute for.

What it would actually take: The work starts with a bootloader and kernel port for the Qualcomm SM7675 platform, with device trees and drivers for display, storage, input, and power management. Graphics requires a Metal-compatible translation layer over Adreno, which means reverse engineering GPU command streams and writing kernel-level drivers. It needs experienced low-level Linux/Darwin kernel developers, GPU driver engineers, and access to the physical device.
