If you are issued a chromebook to me it signal that they consider you a replaceable cog.

Its one of my interview questions these days. What device will I be issued?

If its a chromebook I know that no matter what they say they don't really care about the postion.

What are you talking about? Because the software you'll be expected to use for your job can run on a Chromebook you're considered a replaceable cog? All that means is that to do the job you're being employed for the company thinks you can do it with a web browser and whatever software will run on a Chromebook, its no different to being issued a centrally managed Windows device.

		Chromebooks can be had dirt cheap and for the most part are not customizable in any way. Laptops not so much. Most of the world is not SV or google. They don't put thought into the hardware you use other than is it the cheapest we can get for this persons position. On the other had I've seen execs/directors that barely turn on their PC get $10k monster laptops because they are considered important. While staff get recycled garbage equipment or a $1000 max per person equipment budget.
