User persona: Holiday hacker
This is the user persona corresponding to how I use, or would like to use, my tablet.
Summary: this is what I want to have with me when I'm away for a couple of days or weeks and I don't want to spare the space/weight for my laptop. Conferences, holidays, where I will try to hack something up to demonstrate something cool or just hack out of boredom.
Most important use cases:
- Lighter and smaller than a laptop
- WiFi
- WiFi reliable in conference conditions
- Update ticket booking in the web browser
- Show downloaded QR code at the entrance
- A browser with enough functionality that I can configure it to block JS/domains enough to assuage my tracker concerns and spare battery life
- Edit code in a text editor
- Coding: git, Python, gcc, Rust, terminal
- X forwarding
- Fresh kernel, where libc is new and applications don't refuse to start
- Map with GNSS location marked
- Showing slides for a presentation on the beamer (using an adapter)
- [?] Over 4h on a battery while coding
- Taking short notes for emails, names, projects, thoughts
