i am not the main IT
i am just the admin of the company, abit of IT only

IMHO.
The important question you need to ask the main IT is that if you buy the Apple Neo, can they support. That is the deal breaker, Got issues later, just pass to them

Linux Arch user here.
I would say follow the French Govt, ditch the mega-corp OS and embrace Linux open source.
Train everyone to adapt to Linux.

Then the macbook neo it should work. Faster buy before the discontinue the base model.



u r admin why kena arrow computer problem?





Since ur Coy also have a 'IT Guy' presumably from an IT outsource company providing service, once u buy the macbook neo, who is gonna support it?

Supposedly most support needed are very minor coz mac generally dun give as much issue as WIndoze, but hei u never know the myriad of 'USER-ISSUE' that can hurl your way...

admin is like that.. do many things
ya i very afraid of the USER-ISSUE so i actully also dont want my boss to buy neo

Buy neo, double boot to Windows OS

Nope mac no longer intel chip

only can try Windows on ARM which is a different beast altogether...

u no need to think, cannot bootcamp

closest u get is Parallels (or other VM platform) but like u said, space is issue with base model, uprate model also not that much to begin with...

I was in a similar situation. Now I ask them to go look for the IT.
Just wayang a bit on the computer and then say refer to the IT.

P.S. Like I always tell people I only know how to use Samsung One UI. Plain android, other android overlay or Apple, I really dunno.

That is precisely what I mean. Android is your poison. Apple is my poison.
Just like photography, some prefer Nikon menu whereas some Canon and also Sony.

Just use windows. Cheap and just works. You double the platform, you triple the problems.

 

[qcy888]

Boss ask you and you ask us.
Might as well ask AI and replace you.

Maybe AI answer is too complicated for him, so he ask here to get primary school reply.
