After nearly slamming my mind-bogglingly slow, gimped, company owned Dell Precision 5530 against the wall today, I've decided I want to work for a company that values my time and developer experience and provides a M2 machine. Working with sub-par hardware is really starting to take its toll. I briefly tested out a M1 MBP and was incredibly impressed. I've been planning on replacing my personal 2018 MBP with one of these newer M2 (or better) machines when hacky solutions aren't required in order to drive multiple displays

The developers at my company basically staged a revolt because we were so sick of out windows notebooks (yes, I’m being dramatic for effect). We’re all immediately moving over to M1/M2.

That’s one of the reasons we’re switching. Being Windows-only absolutely hurts recruitment.

Is it really the windows only policy the problem or the IT departments conformity policy? At least that is the problem in my case, you could be a developer or an accountant in my company and you still get issued the same hardware cause IT wants to keep supporting the same hardware making their lives easier.
