if u are not from IT, i think best to pass to your IT department to validate and don't follow your boss instruction.

i'm sure your IT department will not want to suddenly support mac and see mac in their environment without them knowing in advance.

i remember my boss that time... ask me to try first make sure cannot then pass it to IT...

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.

+1 for orpit simple use case Libre/Only Office + Firefox/Brave maybe Thunderbird/Betterbird email client settled liao But perhaps Debian stable as OS?

your company so small can't even afford a proper laptop for work?

First of all… are you windows user? If yes, you may need some time to learn how to use MacBook… where the files and folders are located…

Just install ChatGPT and use AI and ask AI on how to use MacBook to print screen, where the files are saved… how to organise folders on MacBook…. Etc

Very true. I tried playing with a Macbook at a store when I was considering one a decade ago. Couldn't make head or tail of it.

Android is non-standard. OEMs move their settings all over with their updates.

TS boss huat sio, 8gb ram for work in 2026, buy 2nd hand laptop better

 

[cplbao]

First you need to consider your work environment

Windows based?
O365 based or Google based?
What kind of applications does your company run?

For his usage, 8 gb ram is ok and macs are well optimised anyway for this amount of ram
