I second this. I did this while I was at University and it helped not only ease up my backpack (went from carrying a big gaming computer on my back to a 2 pound chromebook) but it also allowed me to work almost anywhere anytime cause of the battery life and the fact that essentially the entire campus was connected.

Couple this with some x-forwarding for GUIs and you got basically the same high end computer anywhere you go.

Highly recommend giving it a go.

wow it's so awesome you started doing this in College. I wish someone would have taught me this back then, could have saved a few thousand dollars and headache from picking and buying laptops.

Do the same. Android tab + BT keyboard + SSH. I've coded in coffee shops, airport terminals, you name it.
