It depends on the level that you come in at NewExpHire. It's generally only new (grad entry) analysts who are allocated used laptops.I was recently upgraded and given the option of an HP standard or lightweight nc2400 (which is the standard kit being rolled out now). Incidentally im a Senior Manager. Everyone at Manager level above automatically gets a phone. As Mike says, under Manager level depends on whether you need it for your project. But there is a pretty good deal that anyone in the firm can take up with Vodaphone.
