No new features today, just wanted to make a short post.
It is completely possible to do linux development on the go!
Is it convenient? Probably not.
Is a laptop better? Most likely.
Is it funny? Yes.
Also a double table is definitely better:
While we are mostly focused on Linux mobile development, it is easy to overlook that all you need is a bluetooth keyboard and mouse and it becomes an (albeit tiny) linux desktop!
I have a K480, and while it's more-compact than a full-height keyboard, my guess is that he's got a mechanical keyboard there. The rubber-dome keyswitches on the K480 aren't as nice (at least in my opinion; people have different views on what they like in a keyboard). It sounds like the K780 is a rubber-dome as well.
I do agree that having some kind of stand is handy, but if you have anything that you can lean a phone against
doesn't take much
that'll also work, at least on a desk or table.
I am not saying the keyboard on the K780 is better, just that the natural advantage both sitting in front of a desktop and using the K780 for both the computer and phone or just using it for your phone on the go... it makes any difference in keyboard quality kind of irrelevant. I hope people start making mechanical keyboards with this form factor but I am not holding my breath.
