Why did you get an iPad if you wanted to run a Linux VM? Wouldn't a Macbook Air have been a better choice?

I bought an iPad for the same reason ~everyone does, for media consumption. But if I could use the hardware to do more interesting things then I'd be willing to spend more on a more powerful model.

Because they like the hardware? The better question is why Apple pretends these devices can't run VMs.
