I have a USBC monitor and an HDMI. The HDMI cord comes in handy plugging into random TVs while traveling and whatnot. Might also find you can’t use your old thumb drives, SD card readers etc.

Thanks, thats what im looking at buying right now

You can hook all that same stuff up. Just control and Windows keys are swapped for most of your keyboard commands.

Of course Apple’s accessories are easier to setup and better configured for OSX behaviors, but everything should be mostly 1:1 with what you are used to.

AirPods Pro

I just cast my Macbook on the monitor. Magic keyboard. Mostly use AirPods Pro for calls but the I hear AirPod Max is amazing. Thinking of investing in one. Rechargeable Magic Mouse 2. Companies still somehow issue the ones with the batteries and it consumes a hell lotta battery - painful to change every couple of weeks in my case. So got the rechargeable ones on my own buck. Switching from windows to Mac is a little bumpy in the beginning with different shortcuts and everything but you’ll get used to it. Enjoy the new work set up 😄
PS. I could go back to windows the next chance I get 😅
