I hate this setup. You generally need to have anything audio/video related on the laptop anyway and these are the most CPU hungry apps. Working through remote sessions suck and are high latency even on good connections, it's really noticeable for certain things like alt-tabbing and intellisense and it works awfully for multi monitor setups.

I suspect it's more so companies can pretend all their old rules about keeping data on site can remain. Still, it's better than going back to the office.

I gather HMRC's manchester office is famously bad: noisy, hot (without AC) and often with broken lifts and toilets.

Bless home working.
