Hey there, I am about to start my new position at Amazon as AS-2 in few weeks. I had ordered hardware from their onboarding website & received shit 2019 intel model. @amazonians what would you do in such a situation? Warmest regards Hoping it ain’t as bad as on blind. #Amazon
Quit immediately and go to live on a farm.

Who care your work is in the cloud anyway Probably low performer if you need top tier laptop to ssh to your dev machine. You'll be piped in no time
Same happened to me, thing was a piece of junk. Ordered a brand new one a little a month in, manager gladly approved it.
The trick is to choose the 14" Mac. They will be forced to give you a new one (since prior models didn't have 14").
Same. Very annoying that interns got M1 but they ran out for new hires. Intel macs are ass, I only build on cloud desktop and still it gets really hot and starts lagging
At least you don’t get a plastic Dell Latitude piece of garbage
Wait for the weekend, pour water on the keyboard, turn it on and let’s it sit in the hot sun… then tell your manager you need an actual working MacBook
I have a gaming rig, and I build everything there. You should do the same, especially as an AS.
just request a new one. might need manager approval but it shouldn’t be a big deal
