Not Used to Windows / Laptops

I have been using a Mac for many years now and I am probably very incapable of doing a lot of things with PCs at this point. Going into my senior year of college next year, do you guys think it makes sense to get a PC laptop to use for a year to get used to Windows again?

Also, will I need a PC laptop anyway in case I want to work on some stuff at home? Do analysts work at home sometimes on the weekends?

Use Boot Camp. Your life will be a lot easier, I promise. I run Windows 7 on my MacBook Air, and it works great.

Honestly, you probably grew up using Windows. It's pretty easy to revert back - not too many keys are different between Mac and Windows, anyways.

I had a similar issue...to make sure I kept up with PC I have spent some time using on-campus computers...try using the ones in the library assuming your school has some PCs. You don't need to waste money on a new laptop you don't need
