I imagine it&#x27;s probably quite hard to manage hardware for remote teams. Ok, fine if you have a few employees only.<p>But when you have 50? 100? Who is going to buy and prepare the laptop for the new sales manager? As a minimum, you&#x27;d probably need a separate IT person for this, possibly more depending on the team size. And when something breaks, you need to organize the transport, fix it and ship it back.<p>So for me, this seems like an incredible product.<p>Founder Chris Herd is super active on social media. It&#x27;s cool how he has built a very strong following that helps him to promote his company.<p>And he&#x27;s also very vocal about remote work, with strong opinions. Like &quot;Any company that forces everyone back to the office full-time will not make it through this decade&quot;.<p>Statements like these are strong and provocative, but they work getting people&#x27;s attention. And most of the stuff he says is probably true :)
