Macbook for IB?

Hey all,Starting out as an analyst this year. Making more money than I ever thought I would as a 22 year old, but spending almost a thousand dollars on a new Thinkpad just seems gratuitous when I already have to spend a ton of money on work clothes and a WFH setup.Is it possible to use my Macbook in IB if I've bootcamped it to have Windows and also have an external keyboard? I figure this would allow me to use Excel as normal, but unsure if there are any catches to this. Anyone have thoughts? Should I just bite the bullet and get a Thinkpad?
