What you can do though is offer very generic, lightweight, long battery life laptops (chromebook maybe?) that are completely interchangeable. You could literally have a stack in every office building (like big companies have vending machines for power cords etc.) and if someone's laptop dies they just take another one, log in, done. You can also give everyone the same laptop and then configure the necessary hardware requirements virtually. I still think it's very expensive but I can see the appeal. Also don't forget: Companies love OPEX and hate CAPEX. Does it make sense from a pure sticker price perspective? Maybe not. But it could from an accounting and tax perspective.
