What if you get two HP Pavillion Desktops. One for home and one for the office?

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.
What about a Microsoft Surface?
From a sample size of one other commenter, you will be employed for 1 year until they can’t find enough for you to do and have to let you go.
My last tech job gave me a Microsoft Surface, which possibly explains why I was hired with the promise that things would be really busy, barely did anything for a year, and then got let go because there just wasn't enough work to justify retaining my position.
We need to expand the meme!

I've had so many Dell Laptops...
I have a ThinkPad and this checks out
What if it is an IBM ThinkPad.
Bonus security because you're clearly developing for legacy code.
I work on a GPD Win Max 2, so what does that mean? 😃
...probably gonna get fired when my employer catches me playing Cyberpunk.
I had a Thinkpad L390 Yoga before. Constant overheating, the logo sticker just came off one day and stuck to my hand and the battery barely lasted through a meeting. Absolute garbage, never again. The Thinkpad brand is dead to me.
Now I have eight cores, 64GB RAM, a GPU with raytracing support and a 2K IPS display...all in 10 inches with 8-10 hours of battery life. GPD is insane and those specs would cost me an arm and a leg if I stuck with ~~IBM~~ brainfart, Lenovo of course.
I was able to choose my own Lenovo. Twice. 14+ years at the same place.
Oh, hey, 15+ and on my second Lenovo here too 👋
Albeit I had a desktop at first. Don't remember which brand.
Seems like you chose wisely! I kind of want you to choose a dell for science next time, but it would definitely be against your best interests according to the laws of physics that mysteriously underly this phenomenon.
The laws of thermal- and accoustic physics are surely warped within Dell hardware. Otherwise, I have no explanation why it acts so much worse than other laptops with similar specs.
