At the onset of the pandemic, there was an immediate shift to remote work. More than 2 years later, this has morphed into widespread adoption of hybrid work environments. Not surprisingly, a recent report from Accenture found that the spike in remote work resulted in more growth of laptops and notebooks than desktops. But no matter what device they use, people must be able to work from home in the same way they can work in the office.
