That is exactly when I would. Not to hold the job hostage, but if you are pen in hand, and they have an offer, they want you. A computer and software of your choice is a trifling issue at that point.
When the computer and software are the tools you use as a craftsperson so to speak, having a company dictate your specific choice of tools is pretty petty. And I chose the word "dictate" for all in connotes.
