You don't need permission from the copyright holder to let someone use your laptop for a few minutes. No more than you do for letting that person read your newspaper for a few minutes.
While the newspaper-borrowing is now well-established, I think the computer-borrowing one is a more recent change... by default, copyright law tends to deny things. It's not so long ago that permission to backup software was added to English law.
I'm disappointed by the refusal to discuss physical computer-borrowing when AGPL is about restricting network-based computer-borrowing.
