Choosing mac or windows for work? (Amazon)

Starting my first SWE position next week and was given the choice of a windows or Mac computer. I’ve never used a Mac before, but it seems like most people in the industry/at Amazon prefer macs, so I assume my team will too. Would not choosing a MacBook be a bad look? And could it make it harder to do certain things/get help from teammates on certain projects?
Edit: my main fear w mac is that it will add to an already steep learning curve, as I am switching industries for this job. Am I over-worrying about the difficulties of getting used to programming in MacOS?

You can worry less about other things and focus on development.
And the new M1s are amazing machines hardware wise.
