Ah okay, then it makes sense to have a bit more power locally. I absolutely get what you mean. I worked in onsite IT support the first 10 years of my career and in the beginning I had an absolutely crappy hp notebook with some dualcore processor and like 500MB RAM (don’t remember the reals specs, but it felt like that). There has to be a minimum device requirements to be able to work without getting stressed by your device :D Yes it’s an exclusion and most of the time I think it’s good as it is. I also worked in an IT department of another big company and you can’t imaging what user are able to do. I - and pretty everyone who did this kind of job - could easily write a book about how dumb users can be. So it’s the easiest way just to tell people what devices to use, installing them with some MDM Software and keeping their rights as locked up as possible. I get nightmares only thinking about letting some of these guys use their personal devices in company’s network :D
