    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 😉

      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.

      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.

      I still laugh about the time a company I worked for bought all the mobile devs less powerful laptops, and then they didn’t have enough storage to install Android studio.
