How could the content be improved?

In the Preparing for your Training section, we include this item for inperson training, but it should apply to online training as well. (Also numbered list formatting needs to be fixed.)

Please also bring a laptop powerful enough to teach on so that you can take part in all of the practical exercises (a tablet will not be sufficient).

Which part of the content does your suggestion apply to?

We would need to change the language somewhat. For in-person you need a laptop. For online, you can use a desktop (and in fact at least having a second monitor is ideal for online, whether that's a 2-screen desktop or laptop plus external). But yes, we should improve how we specify this.
