What Android tablet is comparable to a modern iPad pro in performance, screen and battery life? I really like the iPad pro but I hate the artificial restrictions... All the Android tablets I tried out, flag ship ones, just fell down compared. I have a Surface Go for when I need Windows, but that is probably one of the worst buys of my life.
I currently use iPad Pro with Remotix to access OS X + Windows which works really well. If there was a Remotix for Linux, I would use Linux only, but there is no comparable VNC client for Linux. Compared the ones under Linux are unusable (and I did try them all).
What about the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6? It seems to be comparable to the iPad Pro in terms of performance and screen. I tried out an Android tablet a few months ago and it seemed pretty fine.
If your want to do portable programming I would recommend a light 2 in 1 laptop. You can dual boot Windows and Linux on it (Windows for media consumption and Linux for programming). But it is bigger then a tablet.
Of course if you use a server you can use anything you want to do programming. But personally the latency is a dealbreaker for me.
If you don’t mind moving away from the VNC protocol, the NX protocol (via NoMachine¹) is a fantastic alternative. Faster than VNC and can forward audio from the server to the client as well.
