A comment on Pixel C. Parent comment

Chromebooks, and thus presumably the Pixel C, ship a fully functional ssh client. It is therefore easy to connect to a linux box and do some development from the console.

I own a raspberry Pi to which I connect from my chromebook. I think it's a great combo. I'd totally buy a Pixel C but that would be unreasonable of me considering I bought my chromebook only few months ago.

The Pixel C is an Android tablet, not a Chromebook (unlike the Chromebook Pixel which is, as the name suggests, a Chromebook.)

Doing work over SSH isn't something I enjoy doing as developer.

I side with Xerox PARC in how a software development environment should look like.

I know many like to work like on a PDP-11, but for me that is only for time travel or server administration purposes.

I had my share of teletypes since the 80's, plus remote work on the go while traveling across Europe isn't something that I would recommend.
