I remember the days when i worked for large companies, I was lucky enough that I could order what I wanted.
It pissed the tech group off so much, at first I was surprised, but I got used to it and it happened at a few companies.

I remember when I first ordered dual monitors, lol that was a fight.

But company hardware is about price, support and stability. Hardware, especially for us XS types is about getting the cutting edge...
Yea!
