Reach out to your hiring manager, they’re usually pretty good at providing guidance.

FWIW most folks use MacBook Pro and some from SAP team use windows machines.

I got a Lenovo with windows and I was told not to get a Chromebook

I love my Chromebooks.

I thought I would hate it but they are awesome. Especially since we are a Google workspace / gsuite shop

I actually lied ...I really love my straight Linux / popos laptop. Sigh....to bad we don't offer straight Linux laptops

Just did this and got Mac… no regrets
