Does a laptop computer purchase qualify as Housing Allowance?

I purchased a laptop computer primarily for use in my home. Does the money I spent on the laptop qualify to be counted as housing allowance?

Laptop and housing allowance

I would say that purchasing a laptop to be used at home would be no different than purchasing a clothes washer / dryer or a freezer with the allowance. These are all things that would be required in the 21st Century by the average family. As long as such purchases can be explained / justified should the IRS show up for an audit, there should be no problem with it.
