I use an iPad Mini 5 with the Zagg Rugged Keyboard case, which essentially turns it into a small, iOS-based ToughBook-alike.
It runs all my iOS apps locally, & I use the WiFi or LTE to ssh or vnc into remote VMs or a local Raspberry Pi to run *NIXy things. The keyboard is great; I can manage ~60wpm or so on it, down from ~90wpm on a MacBook Pro.
Sorry, We only do servers and high end workstations/desktops...
I personally couldn't find a ODM that was high quality... all seemed to be cheap/too plasticy and would break easily... Unless you are doing ~5k+ a month and can get better designs, the off the shelf prebuilt chassis were not great :(
Grad students are remarkably hard to kill. Deprive them of sleep, food, and water. Expose them to high radiation levels and dangerous chemicals. They even survive brief periods of vacuum. Grad students are like academic tardigrades.
Despite the macabre tone of this comment, this is one of those rhetorically famous criticisms of cold fusion so don't discount it because it seems sensationalist or something... Seriously why has no one died from radiological causes from cold fusion study?
