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.
