My company is using Lenovo, and a bunch of my colleagues were already working there 20+ years ago, now I've got a permanent contract too... I think it might check out.

Someone died in front of it! ~~And that's how you got hired.~~
Special rule:
Thinkpad but with 1600x900 resolution on the 24" screen and full hd on a 22" screen in the office.
That buys you only around 2 years from personal experience.
That job ain't right.
I would instinctively start to strangle anyone who gives me a 900p screen that isn't a CRT.
900p on an any LCD monitor at any point in history was always very wrong, something that should not be. Even 1080p is torture for office-ish work.
I'm in a weird unicorn org where we were issued MacBooks, but some of the people on my team have been there >20 years. The broader org issues Thinkpads, my dept picked MacBooks because apparently that's what developers use and we didn't want to deal with corporate's locked-down images.
I've been there about 4 years now, which is almost as long as my dept has existed (we started w/ a contractor group for 1-2 years before I got hired on).
I hate macOS, but I really like the dept. We'll see what happens.
So what if all the desks are set up with thin or zero clients.
Your boss is constantly micromanaging you, but you can't get anything done because thin clients suck.
Layoffs will be a regular occurrence. Think you're safe because you have a lot of seniority? My wife was laid off by Chase just a couple weeks before her 20 year anniversary. Funnily enough, they had just switched everyone to thin clients a year or two before.
What about a Framework laptop?
Edit: or a desktop that you can remote into from your personal machine if you want to work outside the office?
Wouldn't it either be a really new start up or a non profit foss group? Talking about framework
I've had so many Dell Laptops...
We got lenovo's in my last job. I did support software tools for internal usage. Pay was low but work was not overbearing and I could have spent my whole life there. Current job, I got a MinisForum mini PC, what does that mean?
You will never receive any acknowledgement or raises.
Wait... but my manager has been at his job for 18 years and we use.... oh god, Lenovos. 😱
My company switched from Lenovo to Toshiba... what does that mean?
Now we're switching to Dell
My company just switched from Lenovo to Dell and gets rid of 20% of the workforce
