Ask HN: Which Mac do Apple employees use?

17 points by offsky ↗ HN
There has been a lot of talk recently about Apple abandoning the desktop market, or at least the professional desktop market. Im wondering if someone can comment about which machines are used by Apple employees to do their job at Apple.

Are Apple's own programmers using 3 year old Mac Pros?

I weren't a programmer - but I used an Late 2011' iMac 21.5" up until I quit last year. So no they don't get a new computer every year unless your someone who's using it for marketing.

Do people work from home at all? Are they given employee laptops?

When I worked there until mid 2015, I had a top-spec retina MBP mated to a pair of thunderbolt monitors. It was definitely possible to get a Mac Pro if you wanted one, but you needed to express some kind of need.
