I would need to react if a report did not run correctly, I might need to
check an order on the ibm i. so I would need to go into our IBM i inquiry

I don't know what 'check in' might mean. What specific tasks are you
trying to accomplish? I use tablets and my phone to consume content,
but I use a laptop to create it. The same general idea goes for IBM i
work; I'd pretty much never use an emulator on my phone to write code,
but I might use it to look at error messages and job logs.

I'm guessing that 'react to' would mean looking at code with SEU. Use
the largest tablet you can. Personally, I'd use a laptop.

Out of curiosity, will the company keep your work PC (the one you're
controlling with TV) running when you've moved on to a different job?
