I am in the same place. My iPad Pro is my favorite portable computer of all time. It's super light, the battery lasts forever, and there is very little surface for customization. It has a terminal, it has a browser, so there is nothing to do on it except the work that I want to do. There are very few "utilities" and nothing that needs to be customized and sync'd across to other machines. (I also use it as a piece of scratch paper -- the pencil is great for sketches, collecting measurements before I put them in CAD, solving equations... basically anything that you'd use a sheet of paper for, without having to kill any trees.)
I would really like a proper local development environment, though. SSHing somewhere is fine... but leaves so much power on the table. It is also insane to me that Safari still can't expose the 120Hz display to Javascript.
I hope to never own another laptop. All I want is a dumb terminal, and the iPad is the best I've found.
