And devs get an underpowered laptop with 16GB, an i5, and 128GB SSD, that cost less than a quarter of the product manager's device, because they dared ask for a Linux laptop. It's an update from a Chromebook, alright! But the business "cares" about excellence ๐Ÿ˜‰

I didn't ask for anything and all I got was a 12" i3 with 8gb of RAM.

As a enterprise architect I understand that I spend most of my time in Teams, outlook, PowerPoint and excel (damn, it hurts reading that) but I also often have to work on, you know, enterprise sized diagrams.

I still laugh about the time a company I worked for bought all the mobile devs less powerful laptops, and then they didnโ€™t have enough storage to install Android studio.

It's only ok if it's a T480 running Arch.

T470 here (the anniversary model). I'll part with it when someone takes it from my cold, dead body.

Wow, you guys get 128 GB? I'm just over here suffering with a 32 GB SSD and 4 GB of RAM.
