Help me decide- Dell or Mac?
So I'm due for an exchange on my current work laptop as its 3yrs old. IT is offering 5 laptops- 2 Macs & 3 Dells with various configs, sizes and weights. I have essentially narrowed it down to one of two.
1- Dell E6530. Its custom configured from IT.
2- Mac Book Pro 15" variant w/ Retina display. This one is also custom configured.
I am leaning towards the Dell only because most of my work and applications that I run are Windows based. I'm hesitant on the Mac for this very reason. On the other hand I've never owned a Mac and I've heard so much fuss about Apple products that I'm thinking I will want to try it out for essentially free. If I do go with the Mac, IT will provide Parallels Desktop to run Windows apps but I'm not sure if they'll actually give me a Windows OS too.. I'll have to check on that.
Thoughts??
