Laptop Refresh Age Replacement

Overview

Team members can choose to refresh their laptop, no questions asked, after 3 years of use (not necessarily 3 years of employment if a used laptop was issued at the time of onboarding). If the laptop is sufficient for your needs, you may opt to continue using a laptop until it no longer receives the latest macOS version from Apple (approximately 5 years).

The old laptop must be wiped or returned within 2 weeks of receiving the new laptop. Please prioritize transferring information between laptops within this timeframe.

To request a refresh, please use this template.

If the current laptop has been used for 3 or more years

Once the laptop is wiped by GitLab IT, at GitLab’s discretion:

  • You may keep the laptop at no charge.
  • We can provide a Transfer of Ownership document if requested.

Note The option to purchase or keep a laptop at no cost may be voided where the team member is involved in cases of investigation, misconduct, termination for cause, any violation of GitLab’s Code of Business Conduct & Ethics, or other legal or security related inquiries.
