The point is more relevant when your work hardware is trash. My work machine has 16gb of ram and a quad core, my personal pc is a 12core, with 64gb of ram. If I could get at least 32gb of ram at work, I’d mind less, but it’s a pain in the ass with my current setup.
Good question. I work in IT and most things I do take place on server or more like datacenter hardware remotely. So my work device itself doesn’t need that much power. But I totally get that there are jobs that need powerful devices, as I remember from the days I worked onsite for many different customers. I am just curious
This, plus the fact that if it’s a laptop and you put a bit more load on it, it can get loud, whereas a desktop PC can be pretty quiet and performant at the same time; a work desktop might be better in some regards if they let me build it myself, but it’s usually just an OEM machine that’s might not be assembled with low noise in mind; on top of that I don’t want to have two cases right next to each other.

What kind of work do you do, if I may ask?

I get that too. I am curious too.
