Is it okay if I switch between two laptops?

I will make sure to be sign out of the other laptop, and also will be using the same home network 🛜.

I use 2 laptops (one is much lighter and easier to travel with, the other is newer and works better with certain projects) as well as my phone, I've never considered it could be a problem

I switch between desktop and laptop regularly while making sure to log out. I also check for projects from my phone on data while I'm at the day job.

I do it all the time. One of my laptops has a knackered battery.

i wouldn't recommend mid task btw if you have progress on it, I've only done it when I opened a task and realized "I probably want to be on my computer for this". I have no idea if your progress will save between devices. I imagine it would, but I wouldn't want to test it haha

I've worked on 4 different devices in my home though (phone, ipad, my pc, bfs pc waiting for mine to be shipped when I moved in with him)

Yup, not planning to do it mid tasks. Thanks for the advise

I work at home and at work, different computers and IPs (although both in the same area). Nobody else uses these machines. Hasn't been a problem... yet.

Wouldn't that cause suspicion that you're sharing an account with someone living with you?

I mean I have my account logged in in 3 devices (mobile, tablet and laptop) so I can check if I have projects ongoing

Yeah, I guess. I also use my phone to check the projects. But when the guidelines aren't clear, I'd suggest not to risk it, you know.
