What's the experience like with using it as a Terminal coding app? I'm super interested in using this to SSH into a home machine and programming from this.

How viable is that?

Though even if the device works excellently for that, i'm not sure it would _feel_ good due to it not being a laptop. My wife's ipad pro for example is not nearly as comfy as my mac pro, due to the properly balanced weight of it all.

Still, super tempting to try this.. i've wanted this for so long.



I've got JuiceSSH set up and use the device as a thin client. Coding is a little different since you don't get the terminal colors that you normally use for syntax highlighting. Still, it's functional, and I can do it, mostly using a bluetooth keyboard to do so.


Do you prop it up on your lap at all? If so how's it work for you? What do you use to achieve this?
