> I thought of using just a tablet to replace my laptop and my paper notebook, but thin client development only works with a fast, stable Internet connection. I bought a Chromebook Duet at Best Buy for $259. Works very well for software development without internet (runs Debian out of the box). I can plug it into an external monitor and add a keyboard and mouse when they're available. Otherwise the case comes with a keyboard, so I can program at any time.
