Computer reccomendations?

Im a junior in college and my current laptop is breaking down, any recs for laptops that are good in IB? Basically just going to use this for school, emails, excel, and PowerPoint. Would greatly appreciate recs - currently I've got a Mac, but want something with a windows OS to run excel smoother

I think it's market standard (I'm at a large international bank so maybe it's different in the LMM / MM) for IBs to issue corporate laptops to employees - there's no use of personal devices for work, at least that I'm aware of.

In any event your main work applications will be MS like you say, so it's good to get used to that.

Sorry not to directly answer your question but I hope the context helps!
