I dislike that it has a harder time with my iPad, even with my Bluetooth keyboard. I also got charged $17.xx after my free trial. I had to get a Smartphone with text-friendly mode to be allowed into the Club, so to speak.

The glcoud command copy and paste on the shell is a convinient way to SSH into the VM. It has all the latest plugins integreated so easy to deploy them.
