    That the rules don't follow the law but the ESS tool has always explicitly excludes laptops (ignoring the law by doing so)..

    The other point is that the laptop per project workaround was insane. My laptop isn't something that I could buy for every project (heck I don't want to move it unless I really, really have to)..

      If Latops are excluded can one simply take a pile of bricks, a hod and a trowel into the office to be deemed outside?

        They would be BIK as they are not wholly and exclusively required for your work

            That's about what I'd expect from some of the PS contractors I've seen.

                Those of us who exclusively WFH have the ideal solution, and the rest of you poor losers have had it.

                We'll buy DESKTOP computers.

                  That's actually a plan. I will just add a top of the range graphics card for CUDA work for each contract (and replace it with the next version on the subsequent contract).

                    Smallest factor desktop is not much bigger than a laptop.

                      Don't think it will take the graphics cards I'm planning to buy....
