Laptop Choice

Hello,

I’m an incoming student at NYU planning to switch my 16 inch MacBook Pro out for a lighter option. Given that I am trying to break into finance, what is the best laptop for my needs? I understand that it may benefit me if I used windows so I could practice excel/get used to the windows OS.

I would prefer something more modern and low profile, given that I am going to live in New York and would probably need to carry my laptop around the city.

Any input would be appreciated.
