Oh boy, I am wavering back and forth like Donald Trump after a racist tweet.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Will you actually be able to do your work at school etc conveniently on it?

Just focus on this. Spend it on your vacation. That's gotta be fun.

Yeah. For C++ I can SSH into my linux box, and for Python stuff, I can work in the Android Python IDE.

Lab stuff I never do on my laptop anyways. I use the lab servers for that stuff.

I use my laptop primarily for:
1) Note Taking
2) Digital version of my textbook
3) Looking Up Shit on the Internet
4) Logging into the eLearn website

All of which I could do on this tablet. If you are a Android Dev, you can install the Beta of Android N (Nougat) which is compatible with Office.

Also: Windows machines have to install software to be allowed access to the University Wifi, and the handshake takes fucking ages. If I close the lid on my laptop or it goes to sleep, it takes forever to connect back to the WiFi. Android devices can directly connect.

I once used SSH to run an LHC simulation on our Uni cluster from my Palm while BBQing in the meadows. True story! As long as you don't need graphics it should be no problem, I don't know whether something like X-forward would work.
