Can I use university provided laptop for working on my own startup?
3 by curor213 | 4 comments on Hacker News.
I was given a laptop from the University where I am currently working towards my PhD. My professor approved a laptop for me from his available funds. The co-ordinator of the lab ordered it from Apples's website and it was first vetted and secured by the IT staff of the department. I am currently in my 3rd year and I came up with a product idea, unrelated to my dissertation. I am working on the idea using my university laptop, will that be an issue in the future, especially if I start full-time on my product (in case it works out).
