My computer from work is an old Dell Latitude laptop. I work from home on my own desktop with double the ram, twice the threads and a triple 1440p monitor setup.
The only thing handled on the laptop is mail and Teams.
- bb123 6y agoIs your company ok with you using a personal computer for work? I would love to be able to do that, but the firm I work for would sooner let me work from the moon.
- PeterStuer 6y agoI've had no complaints. I have always made it a point that I prefer working on better equipment than the company provides. I understand people that say the company should just provide you with the best, but honestly beyond a certain point you are often looking at a different value derivation curve. I've always liked computers, and am rather intolerant of perceived unnecessary inefficiency. In the past I replaced the HDD in my work laptop with an SSD (1st gen, long before these were commodity) because I realized the enormous difference they made. Was working with a HDD impossible? Of course not, and most colleagues worked like that for a few more years. For me, it made me discomfortable knowing the amount of time I was wasting due to some technology hold-back that was already solved.
