Lifelong Windows user switching to a Macbook pro as main office laptop?
I've been a primarily Windows user all my life but with enough linux experience that I can see the advantages of having a nix native OS for certain things. As a broadcast and video engineer I fear I might still run into compatibility issues with a lot of older vendor gear and workflows from Evertz/EVS, GV, Harmonic etc, but also I'm going back to school for a MS in CS degree and I feel like most devs on OTT environments rely heavily in the Apple ecosystm and become proficient in it is going to become useful regardless. I have the opportunity for a laptop refresh and I do feel that the overall specs of the macbook pro are better thant the windows hp counterpart that my company is giving me as an alternative.
Any recommendations pros and cons? Call them all out. Especially any hard blocks that you were not able to overcome.
How much did your productivity dip when you made the switch if you did, and how long did it take you to be fully proficient or at least comfortable enough to do the same things you could do in windows?
As a side note I have a macbook pro at home but since I spend most of my time in my gaming rig the learning curve has been slow and maybe use it only once or twice a week when I'm doing coding homework.
