ive gotten to the point i do almost if not all my server work remotely (vnp/remote desktop)
how ever im still doing it from a workstation i was wondering what other people use, ive heard of ipads and android tabs doing well, but for the cost would i be better off getting a new netbook and use it for all that stuffs.
i just wanted to see what other people are using for remote work

But in all honesty why would you do that? You still would need a keyboard/mouse (unless iOS somehow lets you control the mouse pointer).CISSP | CISM | ACSS | ACIS | MCSA:2008 | MCITP:SA | MCSE:Security | MCSA:Security | Security + | MCTS

I have an iPad and can use if for this, but it's very cumbersome. I'd only use an iPad in a pinch. Basically, once the on-screen keyboard pops up, you've lost 1/3 of your screen. You have to do a lot of screen dragging, etc.
It's doable, but I dont think ideal. -

I would prefer a full screen keyboard, but when I am constantly on the go the iPad is convenient to access a server in case of emergency. I actually find the iPad itelnet client very useful for accessing our cisco's, 3com's, and Brocade WAPs.
