Mac as part of a WFH setup
Is Mac in a WFH setup feasible? I’ve heard of software that allows Macs to use MS Office with windows functionality. Anyone looked into this / has experience?
It’s my first week on the desk, I’m buying a WFH setup. I’m planning to get a nice monitor, keyboard, and mouse. My bank doesn’t buy laptops for new analysts. I have a Macbook Pro. It’s a great computer and I’ve had it for a while, and I want to hook it up to my WFH setup.
Yup. Do you have an Intel-based Mac? If so, you can get Bootcamp for free. If you have a M1 and beyond Macbook, you can try to use Parallels but your experience will vary.
I've got a M1 chip unfortunately. Any further tips, or just try parallels and cross my fingers?
It's only $99 to buy it so try it out. Worst case, you buy a cheap Windows laptop like a Gateway.
Shortcuts aren’t the same. Learning for both pc and Mac a waste of time. Ur firm will give u a work laptop u can use for wfh
Firm isn’t providing a WFH laptop unfortunately.
Does this mean you don't have to WFH when not in the office?
what is this “not in the office” you speak of
Agree w/ Humongo_Banana_Man - trying to get both will cost you additional time. I'm pretty pro-Mac and initially fought against Windows, but conceded shortly into my career. I have the M2 chip Mac for my personal laptop, that's about it. Don't really use Excel or work-related stuff on the Mac (besides checking work emails and stuff), so I get by.
You'll make your life easier if you just concentrate your work-related things into one OS, pretty much always Windows. Trust me.
