for some reason my work keeps trying to outfit developers with those thick-as-a-brick 17-inch precision laptops still. I sent mine back and told them to try again.

dell provides on-site 4-hour or next business day support.

you have to mail your laptop to a 3rd party service centre for lg. guess which one business IT prefers

maybe it's just my org being cheap and buying the lowest price dell models but lots of people have keyboards that don't work. for some reason they thought that 256 gb ssds were good enough, now they're having to upgrade those one by one.

that being said, i like dell's usb-c dock, wireless kb&m that they gave me

I realize now it’s lovely and not funny to say to people, but for companies that issue garbage laptops to devs trying to save a buck? Rule 36
