Mac vs Windows PC for Remote Work

Going to a BB which does not provide WFH laptops and instead uses a virtual desktop setup. Need to replace my personal mac but was also thinking of getting a Thinkpad. Would buying a Mac and using a Windows keyboard work since virtual desktop is Windows based? Thanks!

Use Mac with no mouse and only touchpad 👍In all seriousness use Windows PC because your short cuts / muscle memory will transfer to other computers easily, you will have teams installed already, and it will be more compatible with office

In reiciendis quibusdam dicta est suscipit ab nam. Tenetur reprehenderit recusandae veniam minima culpa. Sit neque qui eos facere.

Debitis amet sit nihil beatae impedit sit. Voluptas sapiente facere dolorum quam ex. Nihil ullam vero delectus et tempore explicabo doloremque.

Voluptatem molestias earum placeat et. Nobis autem enim soluta nulla.

Mollitia et nulla omnis pariatur sed. Omnis voluptatem ut sapiente corporis voluptas.
