Can the pi-top [4] Be Optimized for Use as a Mobile Dev Workstation with Touchscreen & Bluetooth Keyboard?

Hello

I have been experimenting with the pi-top [4] paired with the touchscreen display & Bluetooth keyboard & I’m curious about its potential as a minimalist mobile development workstation something like a “PiBook” for on-the-go coding / robotics debugging. :innocent:However; there are some ergonomic and performance-related concerns that come up when trying to use this setup in real-world, mobile environments.

For instance; is there a recommended way to optimize the battery profile and resource usage when running code editors like VS Code (via remote or lightweight alternatives)? :thinking:

Also; how can the touchscreen gestures be fine-tuned for smoother multitasking in this dev-focused setup? :thinking: Right now; I find switching between terminal, browser, and code to be a bit clunky on a smaller display. Checked https://www.pi-top.com/start/pi-top-4-Salesforce Admin Training guide related to this and found it quite informative.

Has anyone in the community explored this kind of configuration? :thinking: I’d love to see setup tips or share scripts, maybe even collaborate on a custom pi-top OS profile geared toward mobile development use. Bonus if it integrates well with the Robotics Kit for field testing bots without needing a full laptop.

Thank you !! :slightly_smiling_face:
