Going for bootcamp and asked to select equipment. I can see MBP as the only option for.laptop. what does other swe at fb use? Always used windows laptop. How big change that would be? I don't want this change to hamper my productivity in the starting. @fb swe what would you suggest, should I check with HR for windows laptop??
I used windows for 8 years at work and for personal use. Joined a new company 2 years ago that gave a Mac. The transition wasn't difficult or affected my productivity. If anything, it made it better. FYI: I am not an apple fan boy. Work Mac is the only apple product in my life.
How easy is it to swap laptop? Do you need to hold it for some minimum time? What's equipment refresher policy at fb?
I got Mac initially and swapped for a x1. Works great. Most tools are web based.
Why did you switch?
A couple people on my team use Windows - ex MSFT folks who like it. They used to complain about lack of support but in the last year it seems like it's got a lot better.
