I've been stuck with a older, underpowered dev machine but in compromise I've also been given a VM in the cloud to work with. It has way more horse power for way less cost than any comparable laptop. At this point it feels like they just don't want to manage physical devices anymore and want the flexibility of renting whatever compute resources are needed for development. Edit: The actual day to day experience is not so bad with vscode and the right plugins.
