I use a chromebook as a portable terminal in the data center. It's awesome. Termux for ssh sessions and common command line utilities, beagleterm if I need a serial console, and chrome for looking up stuff online. About 2 seconds from opening the cover to being usable, and battery that will last the whole workday.

Same here. Best choice I've made in ages.

Waiting for this bug to be resolved (termux supports only the US/qwerty keyboard layout) - qwertz/dvorak/etc is broken. https://github.com/termux/termux-app/issues/250 https://github.com/termux/termux-app/issues/250

I use a Chromebook in user mode for development at home. Using Caret for editing and Termux for nodejs stuff actually works quite well, but there are a few slightly annoying things like Chrome refusing to load things from localhost (Firefox for Android will). It's not a replacement for a proper computer but it works for tinkering.
