And running stuff on a server? So the iPad Pro, as an interface to the main computer?

Yeah, if I run everything somewhere else, open my macbook and just SSH in there, guess what? Thing does not get warm, battery life is awesome, I can plug in a bunch of perihperals, and whenever I am completely voided of connectivity for a longer period I actually CAN work properly on the local machine.

Is this some sort of guerilla marketing for the iPad?

Yeah this is not working with the iPad as main computer, it's just routing stuff to the main computer THROUGH an ipad.
I have almost that sentence in the blog post, search for mainframe or terminal.
Then read your title again. You're not using the iPad as a main computer, so don't name your blog post that.
Is this cheating? :(
