I did have a company laptop when I was in rehab after breaking a hip. The 
therapists found it amusing when I would ask to reschedule a session 
because I was in a Zoom meeting. It was a larger Dell (16" ?) and not too 
bad to work on. It would have been cumbersome to hump around.  

I tend to read on the Fire tablet on those nights although I do have a 
couple of hardcopy books handy.
