What do G SWEs usually get as equipment? Any recommendations? How close to my start date will I hear on this?
MacBook Pro, thinkpad, or chrome book. Some teams force you to use chrome book without choice
What? Just a chrome book? Why?
You couldn’t even do real dev on one until recently
Don't have high hopes. You will get an option of MacBook (with shitty keyboard), Chromebook (with shitty os) and Unix one (with shitty build quality).
Macbook
13 or 15 and specs?
Some standard option
