This will allow you to identify whether the problem lies with the desktop computer or the shared device.

3. Attending  workshop and conferences

Modern technology has made things easier in meetings since the traditional methods of presentation through paperwork and handouts have been superseded by the use of PowerPoint. A presenter will require his laptop to do his presentation through a PowerPoint and an attendee will also require a laptop to put down the necessary points. Sometimes the presenter may send the presentation to the attendees to make the presentation easier.

4. Equipping Interns and Temporary Employees

Having a spare laptop in the office is very important for students who are on internship and temporally employees since they move from one workstation to the other as they learn new skills. This helps them to have a hand on experience instead of training just by observation. This also helps to avoid disruption to the regular employees.
