I bought a tablet computer with the intent of using it only for work purposes. What's the best practice for proving the IRS that I only use it for work?

I have a TV and computer I use for personal reasons, I have no interest in using this for myself. I am a 1099 worker and I bought this to align better with my coworkers tools.

If you are self employed and the computer is generally accepted as something used in your business you don’t have to prove anything.
