Yet why would you want to do that instead of working on a laptop?

Because an iPad mini fits in my purse and can be pulled out on the subway to fool around with F#.

Funnily, I assumed the ipad Pro was the target for such tools.

Yeah, that's what his blog post said, so for him and other .Net on iOS devs (Xamarin), makes total sense there.

For the rest of us, casual .Net coding on the go :)

Because an ipad mini is much lighter and works 4 weeks in standby, connected to wifi, and probably a good 10-15 hours of actual use? It's my device of choice when going on business trips now, despite the fact that I have a macbook air.
