Chromebook, not pixel, and not by choice. As a highschooler, I don't have much of a disposable budget, and I have a decent tower, so not really much in the way of laptop budget. My school provides Chromebooks to all students, and they have SSH, which is almost enough to satisfy me. The things are cheap, but that's really the only advantage. Any developer can tell you that development over SSH is uncomfortable at best, even if the system on the other end has a fully-configured emacs or vi setup. It's just too damn slow.



What makes you say development over SSH is "uncomfortable at best"?

Lots of people doing this very thing, on a regular basis. I'm curious to hear your thoughts.

Seems to me like SSH+tmux can be a dev's best friend.


It's just laggy is all. I guess those devs have a better net connection than me :-D. And Chrome's SSH client can't send C-n, which I need for emacs.


mosh
