- Having equipment purchases centralized helps ensure accurate accounting and tracking of fixed assets for the audit.
- We expect you to ship the Macbook and Apple Studio Display back when you leave PostHog.
- Apple Studio Displays are only for Product Engineers (high density screen) and Sales/CS/Onboarding teams (built-in high quality webcam and microphone). If this isn't you, we recommend [this screen](https://www.amazon.co.uk/LG-UltraFine-Monitor-27U730A-B-Built/dp/B0F7M27H6F/ref=asc_df_B0F7M27H6F?mcid=d91fd0cc5e06349887121f1ba2c4d6b6&tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=696386561242&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=11057029523976072922&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9045888&hvtargid=pla-2442615442699&psc=1&hvocijid=11057029523976072922-B0F7M27H6F-&hvexpln=0&gad_source=1) from LG as a high quality but reasonably-priced alternative.
- Apple Studio Displays are only for Product Engineers (high density screen) and Sales/CS/Onboarding teams (built-in high quality webcam and microphone). For all other teams that feel they could benefit from an enhanced monitor, there are some really great competitors to the Studio Display at a fraction of the price - like the [Clarity Pro 27"](https://alogic.co.uk/products/clarity-pro-27-uhd-4k-monitor-with-65w-pd-and-webcam) You can purchase these using your personal limit.

worth adding the LG one also as an alternative, or am i missing something here? this way, if something's out of stock, they can look at the other option. also, may be a small thing - for folks who have already purchased a monitor on their brex, are we allowing them to "upgrade" to the non-apple monitors? i think that is still in the best interest of their productivity, but curious on what others think?

Yeah sure, I can add the LG one in too. I think we have to leave it up to people to decide if upgrading their existing monitor is in the best interest of PostHog. So I don't think we have to stipulate here. I think this would be few and far between and can be flagged by Finance/Team leads if necessary?

Updated the guidelines for purchasing monitors and added an alternative option for enhanced screens. Improved wording for refurbished desk and chair recommendations.
