I've got a $100 tablet and $30 bluetooth keyboard running windows. This means that I have a small form factor machine that I can develop on, and with a usb otg cord, I can connect to near anything I want. Finally, it comes with a real bios, so I can install whatever operating system I want on it, without doing silly things like removing screws.


I would like more details on this. What kind of development are you doing? What was the specific tablet and bluetooth keyboard you got?


Development is mostly using Avr Studio to do embedded stuff. The tablet was the Asus VivoTab8, the non-note version, unfortunately. The bluetooth keyboard was just some generic keyboard and case [1]. My only complaint really is that the meta keys are cranky within putty, but other than that, it's been pretty solid for me.
