Time is the ultimae in precious and scarce commodities. With work and travelling up North to kayak, I spend most of my spare time away from a workstation. Hence the convenience of owning a N810. I can code and write anywhere! Ok so I haven’t tried putting gcc or other c development tools on this…

The device can seem a bit heavy at times.…
