I was hired in at a company a couple years ago. My soon-to-be manager asked, "What should I order you for a computer?"

I responded with, "Whatever you guys buy - Dell, Lenovo. A 14" laptop and an external monitor would be fine."

He torted, "I've never seen anyone be productive on a laptop. Nobody here uses laptops. I'll get you a desktop with 2 monitors."

After I started, I notice he did almost all of his work from a conference room, using a Surface Book remoted into a desktop in his office.

Side note: In an open office, people quickly learn to cheat and claim unused spaces like conference rooms for working undisturbed.
