Just this week I started working for a new company. I\u2019ve been developing code and going through the database the past couple of days on my machine. Everything is working fine, I set up a new account and it\u2019s hooked into the domain and everything.<\/p>\n

Today, the Director IT gave me a \u201cwork\u201d computer. It\u2019s running Windows XP with 3 GB of ram, and has a 11 inch screen. He also mentioned I could possibly use a remote desktop for development.<\/p>\n

This would make it incredibly difficult for me.<\/p>\n

I have a 2012 Retina Display Macbook Pro, running Windows 7, with 8GB RAM, Core i7, etc. I am much more comfortable with it, and it has the power I need to get the job done and run the multiple programs with no lag.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","question-category":[28],"question_tags":[11,15],"class_list":["post-107","question","type-question","status-publish","hentry","question-category-programmers","question_tags-computer","question_tags-employer"],"yoast_head":"\nHow do I tell my new employer that I can\u2019t use the computer they gave me? - Ask Any Question<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/247mart.top\/ask-any-question\/question\/how-do-i-tell-my-new-employer-that-i-cant-use-the-computer-they-gave-me\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"How do I tell my new employer that I can\u2019t use the computer they gave me?\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Just this week I started working for a new company.
