iPadOS 13, the new keyboard with trackpad and a cloud VPS mean even for typical HNers the capabilities of iPadOS are quickly approaching that of macOS. For me, it’s totally replaced my laptop. I still need a desktop because a fair number of very specific things are a PITA on the iPad but in general it offers a much nicer UX than my previous ThinkPad.

I dunno man. I spend my life in the command line. I don’t think anything could replace a Linux laptop right now for sheer flexibility and power.

With Blink you've got an amazing terminal that supports Mosh. Rarely use my MacBook anymore.

You get considerably more power per dollar out of a VPS (at the cost of needing an internet connection to use it)

Me too, that's what the VPS is for.
