What tech do you use at work? Ours is utterly rubbish. I currently use a Dell Latitude ES500 (https://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Dell-Latitude-E5500-Notebook.13837.0.html), which still has the little sticker boasting about its Core 2 Duo CPU. It's so fat, and weighs heaps. I also have a second screen cranked up to it's maximum resolution of 1280x1024, in 4:3 ratio of course. This is barely good enough to run the access database and GIS software we have to use, both of which crash daily. If you use Google Maps Streetview for more than around five minutes then the connection with the network breaks down and you have to restart your computer. One of the staff has had their machine updated to Windows 10, but she can't get Outlook to work, and it sometimes logs her out randomly. The IT guys have told us that they won't be updating the rest to Windows 10 because it's too difficult. There's also a microfiche machine, which is actually quite cool. Please tell me that you have it as bad as I do. |

Big and heavy indeed.
Still, i7 with 8GB of RAM and an extra monitor on my desk. So I'm better off than OP I guess. -

Registered 16 years agoDell i7 4790k + 16GB RAM + 256GB SSD + some nomark NVIDIA card with 3x22"monitors hooked up to it.
I'm not a developer, tend to have a lot of spreadsheets and an sql query engine open, a couple of power point decks, outlook and lots of emails open and one or two word docs, usually visio too.
It's not too shabby for a work PC tbh
Got my own Microsoft keyboard and roccatt gaming mouse as i couldn't get on with the dell ones at all

Registered 14 years agoA God damn 2014 Mac Mini.
I need a Mac for iOS development. Powerful Macs are a rip off according to the overlords (I can't really disagree with this). And I can accomplish all my tasks on it, on both macOS and Windows. It's been very difficult to convince them I need £2,000+ spent on me so I don't have to sit through the odd beach ball.
Two decent monitors at least. -

Registered 15 years agoI have this: https://everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/specs/imac-core-2-duo-2.4-20-inch-aluminum-early-2008-penryn-specs.html
I got it for free off a friend. It's a shared computer and so far no-one's complained about the speed. Looks excellent and runs acceptably. Came with the magic mouse, it's IMO the best mouse Apple has ever done, too bad about the ridiculous ball, if it weren't for that, I'd still be using one of those for my private Mac. -
Macbook Pro. I hate Macbooks.
