Clearly you don't know what an office desk costs...

Laptops run around $1k. Desks are... $1200, tops? Unless you're doing the mahogany lawyer desk thing. Keyboard and mouse are less than $100 for the set.

And we also generally don't need to replace our desks every 3-5 years, because they can no longer support the hardware sitting on them.

Windows/Linux based high end laptops are a grand or so, an entry level MacBook can easily be $1500-2000.

MYOB will run on an Intel Atom, barely running above neutral.

  • two monitors and desk separators. So instead of spending $2000 per employee you spend $3500 but cram 3 where you used to fit only 1. Also, you can put windows with nice view and office decor in the VR so the office can now be in a basement with blank walls. You would save tons of money on real estate.

How many departments have you managed in your life?

Many but I'm not hiring now, sorry.

So just don't purchase overpriced Crapple products. Problem solved.
