Did you miss a digit there? Seems like a very low bar. Every non-tech company I am aware of spends well more than that on laptops for very basic computer uses.
Where I work, Apple is a choice, but very few people have them. The only people I know who go for them are designers.
- ceeplusplus 4y agoI've worked in a couple non-tech places, usually either everyone has crappy $300 bargain bin laptops, if the laptop is just used for a frontdesk role or for accessing some websites, or everyone has something similar to an Inspiron or IdeaPad with an i5 caliber CPU (almost surely less than $700 looking at current prices). In the latter case usually the executives/managers have Macbooks. I know both my GP doctor (hospital) and specialty doctor (private practice) use bog standard midrange Windows laptops that can't possibly cost more than $700. Once you get past the $700 mark you're entering premium territory like XPS/Spectre/ThinkPad.
