Your job doesn't provide you a company laptop?:picard:


At one point i had a gaming laptop, Samsung galaxy tab and a Apple ipad..The only 1 i still have is the ipad.. Went with a gaming pc.

I don't buy anything for work. They give everyone a laptop for work
My job provides hotel and 1st class tickets worldwide. Also my Surface. But my surface is for work and just a Surface....I need my own shyt.
