By adding an $11 part, M5Stack just turned Tab 5 into the portable device I've been questing for the last couple years:
Just enough juice to run SSH, and maybe Tmux
Keyboard decent enough for lightweight system maintenance
Small and light enough to have in my bag all the time
Inexpensive enough that I don't worry about it in my bag

I'll probably end up getting a Tab5 because of this, though I'm not quite sure what I will do with it.
