What is the configuration of laptop, a new Amazon employee gets when opted for - 13.3 inch Mac OS with 16 GB RAM and 256 GB storage... Interested to know the processor chip, number of ports, graphics capabilities, weight, touchscreen, etc. VS - 14 inch Windows OS with 16 GB RAM and 512 GB storage.. interested to know the brand and model, processor chip, number of ports, graphical capabilities, weight, touchscreen, etc. Any recent Amazon joinee or anyone who knows it please reply. I am about to join Amazon and not able to decide which one to opt.
Emmm, I got one in this April. It’s 16-inch macbook pro with i7 CPU, 16GB memory, 2019 version.
They aren’t the M1 macs. It’s the late 2019/early 2020 versions. Can look it up on Apple website.
So it's not the latest version?
Are these touchscreens?
Why don't you discuss this with your HM/Lead? Always stick with what team is following because env/tooling setup can drain you down
seriously.. internal tooling at Amazon will be an issue between Mac and Windows devices.. I do not believe that. Can any amazonian confirm this ?
M1s at few orgs, Amazon Games for instance!
What size 14 or 16? Options for Mac available are 13.3 and 16.
13.3 - New hires may get M1s unless they ship a old refurbished one from 2019 or before 16 - it’s mostly intel i7 late 2019 model or older (same as mine, I’m with aws) My advice: If you are an SDE or related go with Mac 16 which will get you an intel based machine. M1s are great and are getting better support but there are still good number of softwares that don’t work well with apple silicon/rosetta
