That's what Statnett in Norway did when I did some work for them a year ago (Lenovo X1 Carbon). The difference being that installing anything on it was pretty much impossible. All traffic went through the Statnett VPN. It's the most security conscious company I have had any experience of.
But I was also able to use my own laptop by installing the Citrix client and that was much better. I had never used Citrix before and was pleasantly surprised at how fast it was.
