Get an iPad (seriously). See https://ghuntley.com/anywhere

The thing that makes a laptop a laptop and suitable for content creation is the keyboard and mouse/trackpad. I have tried just about every possible keyboard and trackpad combination possible with the iPad, and haven’t found a good one yet.

The Apple Magic Keyboard doesn’t let the iPad tilt back far enough to be visible, and when it tilts the screen back the lower edge of the screen blocks the top row of keys.

I’ve found Logitech makes a semi decent keyboard+trackpad combination, but it’s only semi decent and can’t really compare to a laptop for extended use.

Of course, none of this addresses the elephant in the room, which is that there is no Docker development environment that runs on the iPad.
