OP here,

As mentioned I did use Linux on several occasions previously. On my previous work we used plenty of Oracle tools that were not available for Linux at that time, and older documentation is written in Word/Excel hence we were forced to use Windows.

When I moved I got a Mac, not by choice, so I had to use it for last 6 months (I didn't feel to comfortable to request a new laptop immediately after joining).

Once I felt comfortable I asked for a ThinkPad (x1 carbon 5th gen).

When I joined my company I got given a laptop which was utter shit. The keyboard barely worked, the display was awful, the hinge squeaked, the trackpad felt awful and the charging port broke - despite it costing a fortune.

I also didn't feel comfortable requesting a new laptop immediately, but eventually got a MBP. I didn't feel the need to write an article about it though.
