Yes. It's a full Linux machine.

Well, that's what I've been told - we'll see once they ship.

Nice. Tempted. I wish they'd offer a nice keyboard that goes with it and clips (magnets?) to the tablet.

I wonder how hard it's to program running a remote desktop connection to a desktop computer at home. I run Intellij Idea for java dev, so no way I can run on the tablet considering the battery drain.

It would be nice to program in the park by just bringing the tablet and a keyboard. On the other hand the latency alone might distract me enough to just give up.

I run JetBrains IDEs in a persistent Xpra session on a Exynos board. It is pretty usable on subpar connections, much more so than VNC. It has options to use NX behind the scenes as well.

Thanks, I'll definitely give it a try this summer with xpra. Did not know about it.
