Re: tablet or laptop for remote vpn to network and i

I think it's ACER that came up with it. They are trying to beat back the
Chromebook with Microsoft's help. You'll see advertising for it. I've
been meaning to go buy one to check it out but alas, tempus fugit.....

There are several laptops on the market now for under $200. Even
Refurbished laptops for under $150.

IBM i Access Client Solutions will run almost anywhere (downside is it
needs a newer JAVA install) and is where IBM is putting its
development efforts (System i Navigator is all but dead now)

I have Access running on my iPad as well.(Cisco VPN)

If you set up 5770-XH2, (now included with the IBM i Access LPP) you
can get to your machine without a client after starting the VPN.

Looking for a recommended tablet or small laptop for remote vpn from
anywhere (car, airport, library, on the road (not driving).
Not familiar with wireless options. Once vpn connected then remote
desktop has Power i Access.
Limited budget
