I think the parent means that x86 devices, specifically a favorite of mine, the Surface Pro, can provide mostly all of that and then some, but without the hassle of iOS: * 3:2 screen ratio, 267 PPI * Despite an i5 it has instant on, connected standby, LTE built in * 9h of web browsing on battery: https://www.anandtech.com/show/13471/the-microsoft-surface-pro-6-review-more-than-a-color/6 https://www.anandtech.com/show/13471/the-microsoft-surface-p... * Fanless * Charges in 2h40m * Does not get hot * Can run everything from games to servers to IDEs to scripts * Not a walled garden

Do you know if it can run Windows 10 LTSB? The telemetry on regular Windows 10 is a deterrent.

  x86 is x86, so I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't?

I carry all 3 (iPad Pro, MacBook Pro, Surface Pro) with me (work reasons), but the Surface hardly gets used as it is inferior to the iPad as a tablet and as a computer to the MacBook. I'm interested in moving to VDI based on the iPad when roaming, but I want to move to the 12" first since my Horizon View desktop feels a bit tight on the smaller one.
