I got hardware selection task in the onboarding portal. I am seeing that there is no MacBook option visible. I am only seeing Chromebook windows or windows with Linux. Should I contact on boarding team or what should be the case is the Team for which I am hired not using MacBook? Also, the monitored offer is of 27 inches!! Not the 32 one, is it the part of cost-cutting? TC 85 lakhs #google
Which role are you in? You might have to request for it in order for it to be approved
L4
Which function
Ask for BYoD options if it is that important to you.
Never do BYoD! You are sponsoring a billion dollar company. Why???
BYOD is not an option.
What does the hardware/ Gchips team get? Mac or Chromebook?
You should use what your team uses
Maybe the team is using chromebook or windows
I've heard of some very limited teams that actually need Windows (think it was HW with some chip designs?). For the vast majority of people, everything is in a browser with SWEs ssh'ing into a cloud Linux desktop. The Chromebooks are also not $100 ones.
Google blows
💯
TC joined Google and wants some perks, top hardware, great view, etc...
Do you blame him?
Ask for a Gibson
Cause Google can't afford MacBooks anymore TC 140k
I think google is doing the right thing here - time for people to move to this.
I think across the industry everyone should do this - move to Linux laptops - we need cloud vms and we do cloud development why have such powerful machines - I don’t understand
Your job isn’t only coding. There are other aspects to it and the reality is that Linux laptops are just not as good as windows or Mac’s.
Apple laptops are typically lighter and more ergonomic. I use linux on the desktop, but the problem is that non-Apple laptops almost always have shit hardware.

Why do you need a MacBook to ssh into a cloud server?
If you're comparing chromebook to a macbook you're off the charts dumb.
@apple I can't tell if you're just ignorant or trolling.. you don't develop on a laptop at Google, you get your own cloud server to develop on, you just ssh into every day and write and build code on there. So again, why do you need a MacBook to ssh into a cloud server? You dumb?
