       So work has decided that me bringing my high end Windows laptop is a "security risk" and that I should also not have my Ubuntu laptop there or my Debian dev server. Something about "internal threat blah blah blah your not in IT blah blah". Anyways; IT Dir. said he would get me a better laptop if I needed it. Should I get a one of the newer MacbookPro's with the M series processors? I do a fair bit of creative work and those seem to do well with things like video editing.

       @AdvJosh Definitely get the most expensive thing they'll pay for, which is guaranteed to be a Mac.

       @publius That's one way to look at it 😂 I was perfectly content just adding a second hard drive to my $1500 laptop and dual-booting Windows and allowing them to control policies on one install but they didn't like that either.Honestly, the draw to the Mac is it is probably as close as I can get to Linux while still keeping IT happy.
