Holy cow, there's just been a massive raid in my office where IT came on and just took like 15 old PCs to replace them with Laptops. 

 

Most of them were old Pentium and even C2Ds but also some Haswell i3s :( RIP

    nothing to be sad about other than the haswell i3s

     

    those motherboards could be decent, the CPUs though, useless

    I'd take them for free any day, lmao. They're all pre-built HPs so mobos probably aren't the best but they should be good enough for like a small Esports machine when throw a 1050 or even 1030 in there.

    What are they replacing them with?

    No idea, but pretty decent HP laptops. Like, they even have Thunderbolt. Mind=blown. 

    They all have a docking station so they can still work just fine with monitor, keyboard and mouse. 

     

    Luckily though, no laptop is good enough to be used in engineering so I'll keep my Desktop :D

    It's just purchasing, quality and such that get laptops.

    heh true enough. Though these new Pascal quadro cards in laptops are quite powerful, it is just the CPU that kinda lacks.... :D 

     

    What specs does your desktop at work have?

    I just left but iirc it's an E5 1620 quad core Sandy's bridge, 16gb ram and a K2000. It's not really the best and gpu is lacking behind quite a bit sometimes.

    We replaced a lot of the dell laptops at work with HP's, i7-6500u's and m.2 SSD's (dunno if they're nvme or not) they also come with full displayport and Type C (non thunderbolt) Even though I'm one of like two people who use a tower instead, I was very happy with out IT guys choice (everyone's either a sales person or someone who doesnt need a crap ton of processing power)
