I hope this is the right place for this

Spent the last 3 months getting requirements for computer upgrades. After that picked out some decent laptops. (Thinkpad L and T series)
Nothing fancy, but I'm just tired of diagnosing problems with previous sysadmin purchased Vostro laptops.
After getting quotes from multiple vendors, finally got everything and sent the CEO to confirm. Guess fucking what... It got fucking denied.
"Look for cheaper laptops and replace only whats critical"
Employees are rocking 7 year old laptops with 128G SSDs! The bloody things can't even run Win 11! The whole upgrade costs less than their single "teambuilding"! I hate this these cheapskates so fucking much...
There are a lot of well-reasoned, positive responses here, so let me just be the one to say f@$# that CEO and all CEOs like them.
Padding their buddies pockets with bs "consulting" and "team building" while the basic needs of the company don't get met.
