There is an idea to buy a Windows tablet with a keyboard, you can carry it to work, but the question is, is 2 gigabytes of RAM enough for a browser and the same phpstorm? Photoshop even run on such things?
If anyone has any of these, please share your experience, thanks!

Well , for the normal operation of the browser, 6 gigs out of two will be enough , and divide the rest between phpstorm and photoshop.

Enough, but you will suffer or often go to smoke or for coffee

Windows itself will gobble up half a gigabyte. Not enough, of course. Is it possible to abandon the IDE in favor of text editors (Sublime Text)

2gb - pain, lags fiercely, checked

Do not mock yourself like that ... Choose something better. Look towards the laptop at least.

For a long time (and even now, periodically) I wrote server and cli applications in php exclusively in the Far Commander text editor with a set of thematic plugins.
Therefore, it all depends on your development environment.
ps there is a solution, not bad and universal, to connect the terminal to a working powerful machine (mstsc in windows works objectively well on slow connections, but pings are critical if you like the responsiveness of the interface)
