It's been a pretty solid machine, my only gripe is that IT's crap such as antivirus, PAM, puts a noticeable drag on the machine. It idles around a constant 10% CPU usage.

Oh man, reverse policy at my work.
Minimum 3 years before you're allowed to ask for an update. If anything breaks before then, you'll have to just figure it out. Broken keys? Type around it. Maybe borrow an old machine from the lab.
At the 3 year mark, when you ask for that update, you're asked "but describe how your work is being affected by the lack of upgrade? ...no i don't agree with that one; what other justifications do you have?"
Though it's been a while since I've had any issues. Since we moved onto the Apple silicon MacBook Pros, it's been a rock-solid experience.
