Unless you work for CRED you’ll have to return the laptops once you quit. My company allowed employees to keep the macbooks when they did a round of layoffs !

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I got laid off in November so I bought a m1 mac air as I didn’t have a personal laptop. Now I got a job and I don’t see myself using this laptop at all. I feel like I should have bought an ipad as I lt can be used for writing too. 

Suggest me if I should sell it or keep it or anything else I can do with it 

Thanks!

What should I do with my m1 mac air

I have been a Windows user with a pinchful of Linux Mint here and there for all of my life. I have got 15" Macbook Air M2 from my company. Ive installed basic software and now need to set it up properly.

What should I do? What apps should I download? What settings and configurations should I change?

Got a Macbook for the first time. What next?

Sometimes our company exaggerates basic perks, Are any such good perks applicable in your current company? 

Razorpay: MacBook For Evryone 
Meesho: Work from Anywhere 

Also, Pet sick leave etc

Perks that makes sense

Then Few good enggs left the company.
This week another round happened with around 20-25 enggs

Another layoff at the most overvalued unicorn startup.

‘Most overvalued unicorn’ You have any idea how little that narrows it down 😂

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

If I'm being given a Macbook Air from my startup organization, and I installed a chrome browser in it.

I use a chrome profile created by my work email for work purposes. 
In the same chrome browser, I've logged in with personal gmail as well, and other email accounts as well.

How do I know if any of my searches in my personal chrome profile is being monitored or can be tracked by my HR or startup?

How to maintain privacy here?

Is there a way to be sure about it - I understand a lot of people use work and personal email in the work laptop itself.

Hi All,

Looking to buy a laptop to dive deep into full stack development - java, spring, queue,  cache, db etc, along with light react js. 
Will set up distributed components in local and/ or free tier AWS as well.
Also, consume Netflix content over weekends.

Considering laptops with 16gb ram, 512 SSD -
1. Mac mini 1.3 lacs or
2. Dell/HP/MSI with Linux- 1 -1.2 lac or
3. Mac Book Pro M2 - 2 lacs/2.5 lacs

With office mac Book Pro, the experience has been super smooth, but I am looking to get the most value on investment , and do not want to compromise on dev productivity.

Any suggestions folks? Those who have done similar work and have had a smooth experience, please share your experience.

Thanks.

Laptop for personal projects.

A Junior SWE here
I want to buy a personal work laptop and can afford a laptop upto 1.5L
Given that I would be working on personal projects on this laptip, should I go ahead only with MacBook?
Or any other? Please suggest

Also I am getting MacBook Air M1 13inch with 8 gb  ram for 70k, since Ram is expandable upto 70k, should I go ahead with it?

What all hardware have you received from your company? 

Please mention 

1. How you work: remote, hybrid or in office.
2. Make and model of the hardware
3. Your review of the hardware

I know that some companies are really good at sourcing excellent hardware while others cut corners in this space.

futures wise it's far far behind windows

then why do people use it ?

Why do people use Mac? it's UX is so shitty

Is this sarcasm ? Apple UX is far ahead of windows . Though I haven’t used windows in a long time , maybe they have improved . But all I see is that all windows brands are copying Apple design.

Hello
Software Engineers
I am pretty much aware companies will scrap their old MacBook away which I can get a decent price
Do you know any way?

Thanks in advance

Were to get old company MacBook at a decent price?

Hello everyone
I am planning to buy a MacBook for my personal use budget is ~1L. 
I have a few options:
1: Macbook pro 2019 i7 16/512 ~ 45-50k (refurbished)
2: Macbook air M1 16/255 ~1.2L (over budget)

Will the 2019 i7 macbook pros survive for the next 3-4 years? Or should I increase my budget and go for m1/m2?

I am just speechless. Can't believe that this can happen.

Got fired for using betting apps and trading on company laptop...

Everyone knows you are not supposed to use company laptop for anything personal. This startup I used to work part-time for during college had some monitoring software on their laptops.

Somehow intimate moments were leaked of someone on the team, she slammed such a case on these fuckers that the entire startup almost got wiped out in legal fees.

I have option to choose between these two.
I dont have any past experience of using macbook.


Whih one should I choose ?

Macbook or Thinkpad for work?

Technical Consultant

Hello folks 👋 

I want to buy a laptop for personal usage. I will be using it mostly for media consumption and web dev. 

I have had a very bad experience with windows laptops in terms of hardware and battery life after a year of usage.  

Should I buy a MacBook Air with 16gb ram / Macbook Pro or should I trust a non apple laptop and slap a Linux distro on it call it a day ? 

Please share your experience or the machine you guys are using.

Ps- I am using a 16 inch Mac with M1 pro and 16gb ram but I feel I am not using it to its full potential hence it might be a waste of money for a personal laptop 

Thank you 🙏
