It is not yet a glofiried ssh machine, so that is an 80% no when it comes to work hardware for me. But give me a docking station with my homemade keyboard, fancy monitor, mike, and headphones, and let me use the GNU toolchain locally to get a decent terminal and Emacs and I would be a happy camper. The macbooks managed to hit those points, but the iPad feels totally disconnected from this type of glorified terminal mentality… unfortunately.

I'm saying that my macbook air is a glorified ssh machine and word processing machine.
But clearly it would be better to walk around with a tablet (with detachable keyboard) as a glorified ssh and word processing/slide making machine than a macbook.
I want to be able to do some minimal work, walk around with my device and pull up slides (that I can fucking markup with my pencil -- not a glorified pointer), pull up docs, and etc because even though I'm mostly living in the cli I still have to show and communicate my work with others.
