New to the forums! After decades of using PCs for home and work, I'm finally fed up. This week I had to reload my work laptop from scratch with Windows 10 because the OS had gone brain-dead and it was, to say the least, an unpleasant experience. With MS things just seem to get worse.
Anyway -- would appreciate any suggestions on what would best suit my needs.
I work in Information Security and the majority of my work involves compliance, which means lots of document production in Word and occasional drawing work using Visio. I do absolutely NO high-end video or photo editing.
I've been at this business for several decades and, at 58, I can't function with a tiny 13 inch screen. It's just too small. I need a 15 inch screen minimum. Also, I need the ability to use two large external monitors (I currently own a couple of Asus monitors with HDMI connections, which are fine for my eyes -- can I keep using these with a Mac?).
I currently use a docking station for my Thinkpad at home with an external wireless keyboard and mouse, then just pop the laptop out of the station and take it on the road -- I travel frequently.
My gut instinct is that a MacBook Pro would be best, but I don't want to assume anything.
Anything I absolutely need Windows for, or Linux, can be run from VMWare.
I'll keep reading the forums, but in the meantime appreciate any feedback to this posting!
