Trying to press controls intended for desktop Windows on that tiny screen would be an exercise in frustration. Trying using RDP software on your phone and see how productive it is.

1) RDP won’t give you a screen with even the same aspect ratio much less resolution so that’s not a good test.

2) relative pointer position makes small controls extremely usable. You only want absolute position for the keyboard.

If I have to make two remote desktop connections lasting ten minutes each per workday from the beach, which machine am I bringing: my phone/this? Or a full laptop?

Not as obvious a decision for some.

OK, so coming back to the original point, are you going to want a hotter, more power-hungry phone for 10 minutes of non-mobile Excel on it?
