Remote to your desktop from your laptop and never worry about losing/breaking the laptop. I've spent little over a year on a job where i remote desktop'd to office computer from home in a WFH scenario. Was perfectly doable and stable.

In this way you won't need the laptop at all and can use a nice tablet. I'm thinking of going this way, but not quite there yet.

I do this in reverse. My work provides a laptop, but never provided any other hardware at all once we switched to full remote. So I throw it in the closet and remote into it from my personal desktop. I much prefer to sit at a desk in a nice chair, with a good keyboard, monitors, etc.

My latest job is like that - from home with just a laptop. I used it as a secondary monitor (chat, email). At end of day i simply close it and turn on the desktop.
