I always found this hilariously stupid especially as I was a tech side Director+ so I'd get given the same gear that the devs would get but all I was doing was reading docs, building decks, responding to Slack messages, and editing spreadsheets. At my last role I was given a fully loaded 16" MacBook Pro (32GB RAM, 1TB HD) no questions asked - it was such a colossal waste of money while the alternative at the time was a poverty grade MacBook Air (the wedge one) that the business folks had to use.

I think it's the old annual budget for IT hardware, if you don't use it, you lose it approach. I mean the only one here that needs the newest Macbook Pro for his work is prob Badhobz.

Which one of you pulled off the heist? 12 tons of F1 edition Kit Kat ... apparently, not an April Fool's joke.
Only one person I know who has access to ports, shipping containers ... and an EV black SUV that can transport it back home discreetly.

That, and some director/exec will throw a fit if he/she didn't get the best laptop option on offer (regardless of whether the specs make sense for the role or not).
I had a stint on the IT side and got to hear some stories along the way. The takeaway regarding hardware was to just give them a nice laptop and keep them away.

I don't mind cuz then I can pick up a decent used really good tech laptops from those places that refurbish them. I see them on FB periodically. Lenovo, IBM, etc. Not sure about Macbook but I'm sure they are out there. Or does Apple refurbish and resell?

I believe they do. You have to go into the depths of their website to find the refurbished units for sale.
There are other channels to buy refurbished units as well. Bauer Systems here in Ontario is a good example. I didn't buy an Apple product, but rather, found a really good deal on a refurbished Microsoft Surface with an i7 and 32GB RAM - exactly what I needed, and for a very competitive price. (Thanks for roastpuff for recommending Bauer Systems.)

It pays to check out facebook market place late at night. 2 in the morning last night I was browsing facebook market place and a new listing for a sim rig and computer pops up. $1000 dollars for both. The ad is only minutes old. I send a message " I will take it whats the address" She reply's and we agree to meet at 9 AM. You want to meet these people early so one can snake you.
I get up grab some tools hit the bank machine and head over. Knock on the door no answer. Sent a message. Nothing. knock on the door again, nothing. Just as I am about to leave some lady in a bathrobe opens the door. She looks hung over. I show here the cash and she takes me inside. Everything looked brand fucking new. Hand her the cash and start talking things apart. She tells me it belonged to her husband but he cheated on her so she kicked him out and is selling his stuff.
Looking at everything it's about 8k worth of stuff. The computer has a 4090 and that's worth about 3k alone. I got most of it set up. Still got to mount the seat and adjust the pedals.
