Even a Surface Go beats a iPad Pro. I had one and changed it out, couldn't be happier. For more juice I'll get a Surface Pro. WSL beats anything but native linux.
I love my little Surface Go, using it to write this reply now! I hope they release a new one this year with a better CPU, and with WSL2 right around the corner, it'll be the perfect tool for coding on the go.
Not only that but VS Code can now run 'Remote' in WSL with the UI in Windows 10 and everything else in WSL.
