OP: yayayyy!!! I love that for you!! what color did you get?!

I bought the M1 MacBook. I wanted to like it but hated it. It’s nice hardware, but I can’t stand the Mac OS. I ended up giving it to my wife and switching to a boring old Dell. I don’t think it’s the best computer to use unless you have control over the software you use. If you were running your own practice, I’m sure you could make it work. But I still think Windows is dominant enough that you’ll occasionally encounter headaches you wouldn’t with a windows machine.

funny

There are random programs that don’t play nicely with the Mac OS. I’m not running any myself. But even with the Office suite, I found small issues that I haven’t had pop up in a Windows environment. (Been a while so I can’t remember what, specifically.)

You definitely can run your practice through a Mac. I mostly just hate the Mac OS.

Maybe stick with 1 or 2 days of office for Important F2F meeting, with rest WFH?

I lateraled into a niche practice group in Sept 2021. I also have a 1 year old and have been mostly remote since I started - but have been keeping busy tracking towards 2400-2500 hours. That said getting to know people only remote has been kind of awkward at times (email only can be tough to decipher) although as a working mom the pros vastly outweigh the cons. Yesterday my main partner asked me to come in Thursday bc he will be there and set a time to meet. Is this good/bad?? kind of nervous!
