Ok, thanks for your answer.
Do I understand it correctly then, if a computer is connected to the LAN
and
the GP is applied to a user and his/her computer, when the user goes home
and
logs on with the same user account (cached) the same user and computer
policies will be applies as when in the corporate LAN? Of course with
exception of any updates in the GP made after the user leaves the
corporate
LAN.

Yes, provided that by "the same policies" one understands that some
can be defined to behave differently in one compared to the other
situation, for example, the firewall. The same policies are applied, yes;
the effect may have some differences based strictly on what IS in the
policies.

Hello,

All users logon to a DC, and we allow cached logons. But if they leave
the
LAN and simply connect to the Inernet from home with a dial-up
connection
from their own broadband, does the GP still apply?


Yes. Computer policies always, User policies if they use a domain
account.

We would like to implement a solution where all our stationary pc´s
are
replaced by a laptop for each employee. How is it possible to ensure
that
GP´s are enforced when the laptop´s leave our corporate LAN and are
taken
home by users.

You would need to require use of domain accounts, and not
give out administrative accounts. Otherwise, what is applied
will be applied, but there are a couple things to keep in mind,
like the firewall having two policies and the need to allow use
of cached logins.
