Will soon be able to work 50 percent in the home office, as I want to do without the work laptop, I need my own computer. I have no idea what the computer must have, I need your help.
I only need the laptop for home office and I was thinking of a MiniPC. We have access to the online workplace via WebCitrix. What does it take? How much RAM is useful? Processor performance? How much i? I have no idea, went to a specialty store and said the large hard drive was important, but that's the only thing I know that I don't really need it… What do I have to look out for? I just don't want to spend a lot of money unnecessarily, even if I can declare it with the tax…
If your employer gives you the computer, he will get it.
The equipment will then meet his requirements.
If you only connect to the company network via Citrix and all applications are on your central systems, you don't need a lot, then it does something like this:

With the previous model, I connected myself to the company network from my home office for years. In the meantime I've replaced the device with a SurfaceGo from Microsoft, which also works wonderfully.
Do I understand this in the right manner? Your employer wants to provide you with a work computer (laptop), but would you prefer something of your own?
the employer has now done his duty by installing the device. What one could perhaps negotiate out, would be that he provides you with a keyboard, docking station and screen for pleasant work.
From your question it is clear to see that you only have rudimentary knowledge about PCs and the Internet.
I therefore strongly advise you to use the PC or notebook service provided.
Should problems arise (virus, attack, loss of data) you can always blame the service PC.
If you have your own device, you could be accused of misconduct.
Possibly. Are there service instructions or the like that regulate use in the home office.
He or she didn't even write that he / she wanted the employer to pay for it. It's about what requirements the computer has to meet in order to be suitable for the home office.
I have to bring the laptop with me on office days, I'm a train driver and that is the student's PC who would then no longer have his own workplace…
Thank you
First of all, you should ask your employer whether it is okay with him that business matters are processed on your private PC.
With us, at least, this is not permitted and also not possible, since useful programs are secured and can only be called up via the laptop provided for the purpose.
To improve the quality of work (ergonomics), a larger screen, normal keyboard and mouse can be attached using a docking station so that the laptop only functions as a computer
