For this, it's excellent. I've used it for some minimal coding via Codespaces or SSH, which was fine, but as a development machine, the 13" MacBook Air is a way superior choice.

Are you using USB cable or Wi-Fi connection for Sidecar?

On the go, I think lwith the cable it is not so practical because the cable discharges the MacBook and charges the iPad.

On the other hand, the cable connection is more stable and has less latency.
