A personal anecdote from me. You may find it useful ...
After trying to run Mac OS computers in my law practice, I've finally moved wholly to Windows.
I love Mac computers. I love what Apple tried to do. But for a professional services environment needing networked access to files & certain software (through bitter experience) Windows is king.
I started utilising Windows some years ago by running virtual PC software on my Mac desktop, until I started exceeding specifications by using certain software and I started to get screen freezes etc. Then I partioned the hard-drive with bootcamp and installed Windows, so I could run Windows as if the Mac were a PC.
Unfortunately I found Bootcamp had a couple of glitches which would make things a bit fiddly (eg. moving laptop seamlessly from network cable to wifi and back wasn't an option. Would have to restart the computer in order to reconnect to network cable).
Recently I found that the SSD hard-drive on my Macbook is in the early stages of dying.
The upshot? Say hello to my new Dell Latitude 490.
8th Gen Intel® Core™ i7 processor, Windows 10 Pro, 16GB Memory & 512GB SSD.
