That seems to cover either a decent workstation OR a good chair, but not both?

You don't need to buy a 'workstation'. It's mainly for furniture. Everyone gets corp laptops and monitors.

Googlers can't use our workstations at home, but we can use our laptops for remote desktop/SSH. Everything else is processed in data centers which means great performance everywhere. We've also got monitors and office chairs to bring home.

Wait a minute, you now have to do all your work on a laptop? For 8 hours a day? That sounds like pure hell.
