Do BBs issue computers to analysts?

There was a recent thread about mac vs. thinkpad, and it got me wondering whether I should buy the type of computer for my personal life (mac) or something more compatible for work if I have to use my own. Thanks.

You'll get a thinkpad of some sort... some receive laptops, others desktops depending on your firm. Either way you'll have 2 monitors (docking station for your laptop could be one). If you ever need a laptop computer for a meeting and don't have one, the IT guys will let you borrow one, no need to go out and buy a work computer, you'll learn to hate your "new" one they give you.

 

I'm in the same boat. Trying to decide if I should buy a cheap thinkpad before training. Starting as an analyst at a BB in a couple of weeks.
