I have a ThinkPad and this checks out

[–] PieMePlenty@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

We got lenovo's in my last job. I did support software tools for internal usage. Pay was low but work was not overbearing and I could have spent my whole life there. Current job, I got a MinisForum mini PC, what does that mean?

Either skeezy AF scam, or Google.

Or, believe it or not, both.

Union.

HP but it switches with Dell every 5 years.

My peers have been there 20+ years. No one's dumb enough to get fired. I only got this job because someone retired.

The people are awesome. I hope to God I can work here another decade.

Used to have a ThinkPad decades back. Still remember Howard comfortable the typing was.

Sadly Thinkpads no longer are what they used to be. I got the X1 Extreme Gen 5 couple of years back and have had all kinds of problems with it. Blue screens, problem with fans sometimes getting stuck at 100%, constant problems connecting to the dock, not to mention bad battery life... My coworker had to get a warranty replacement when the usb-c port stopped working without any apparent reason only after a month of use. And other coworkers with newer models are also reporting issues.

I've had so many Dell Laptops...

What if you get two HP Pavillion Desktops. One for home and one for the office?

what if you get to choose?

Then you owe your IT unit a monthly sacrifice

Hmm I don’t think you have to make a sacrifice to yourself, but you should probably buy yourself a sweet treat once a month just to be safe.

Special rule:

Thinkpad but with 1600x900 resolution on the 24" screen and full hd on a 22" screen in the office.

That buys you only around 2 years from personal experience.
