What are the ways for a technical student to get a free laptop by internship, i mean which company usually do that?
I need one.

Now seeing the price of laptops, I mean oh my god!

So do let me know.
Thanks

uh... wut?

@N00bPancakes yes 😬, wait companies don't do that?

@lkbhitesh07 You have to be crazy to give laptops for free. Like, argentinian government crazy.

@c3r38r170 ok so basically i have to move to Argentina,
Not a bad idea.

I mean there i can find some crazy people who can give me laptop for free.

Around here it’s standard practice to offer tools of trade, even for interns. Of course company owns them and you won’t get to keep them when you leave or the internship ends

@100110111 Thanks.

Old but usable computers are constantly being thrown to garbage.

A company will generally provide a work laptop to use for work duties only (or maybe some limited personal use.) It'll remain the property of the company, you won't get to keep it, and likely everything you do on that machine will be monitored.

I've never heard of a company providing you a personal laptop like that though. If you're doing an internship for that reason, you'll be sorely disappointed.

@AlmondSauce I was watching one video in which a student got an mac from Spotify while interning there, don't know if that was temporary.
But thanks for your answer.

@yowhatthefuck of course I would love to do that but the main reason is i should now look after paying my college fees, that's why i asked that😅

look for an older thinkpad or latitude on the used market, they go for like 100$ here, so it should be like 50 in india

@yellow-dog That's a great idea but here in india buying things from used market is like a huge risk, Victim this side🙌🏻

@lkbhitesh07 The same government took over again, so you may be lucky and they may start giving laptops for free again.
You'd have to go to middle school to get one tho'.

@c3r38r170 Thanks, but i would like to stay here and do some bitching about my government😁😁. I mean there should be some critizers available every time so that govt would work alright.😂😂

The notebook provided by the company can only be used for work

@kateliuyi that will depend on the company. What the company provided laptop can be used for ranges from companies where everything’s monitored from what’s installed to what you do with it, all the way until the likes of mine, where the only limitations are the capabilities of the machine and your own morals (I for one wouldn’t do anything illegal or try to make money on the side with my company laptop)

Sign yourself up to a local high school under an assumed name and then disappear with that sweet sweet (lightly used and shitty as fuck) chromebook we're giving out to this latest generation who will never have a clue how to use a real computer for jack fucking shit.

But I mean, 85% of those mouth breathers were never going to get above answering an email anyway so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
