This is kind of where I am. My job requires I carry an iPad around. I have a keyboard and mouse and use Jump Desktop to remote into a Windows 10 VM and Mosh, Blink, and tmux to remote into the Linux server itself.
I still find I’m wanting more though. Having a locally available machine would solve a lot of issues with bandwidth. For example, iOS is capable of using Cryptomator but using it with WebDAV on my server at home means every file needs to download each time it’s opened. Or say I capture some great video and want to move it to the VM for editing or download content from server for local editing. This takes forever on LTE or WiFi.
I’ve been looking at the WD My Passport Wireless but I think longer term a better choice may be an ODROID-HC1 with a large SSD. Think of it as like a mobile cloud. It could act as the WiFi gateway for all devices, run through a VPN, provide local storage via SMB, SFTP, or WebDAV, run a Plex server without needing connectivity, and provide a local Linux environment for or the times you don’t have connectivity. Additionally nearly any tablet or phone like device could be setup to access it.
