I'm a rising junior that has accepted a 2021 SA offer. My Mac that i've been using for 2 years is breaking and I have to buy a new one now - i'm stuck between a macbook pro and a microsoft surface. I've always liked apple and would prefer the mac but obviously know the downfalls of excel on mac or running parallels/bootcamp. If i'm going to get a work laptop (hopefully) is it fine to just get a mac moving forward for school and personal use?

surface for Windows
Neither. Macs aren't the standard, and Microsoft hardware is awful. Stick to an X1 Carbon or XPS 15
My only problem with the surface I had during undergrad was that the key board was too small for my hands which made short cutting in excel hard.
what do you mean when you say you're rising?
Yes - 100%.
I always have a lenovo for work and a macbook pro for personal use.
Best of both worlds.
I have a 13.5" SL3 I use for work and grad school - it fits in my work bag nicely and the screen ratio is ideal for excel use. My preference is to carry around one laptop, and as I'm required to use the firm's VPN when working remotely, this limits me to PC. Others in my team have the XPS13 - new model looks great.
