The windows machine is a ThinkPad but I don’t know the series. I’m in gamma and have the Mac. I’d recommend it if you prefer the Macs.

All of the nice power point plugins are only on the windows machine. The macs have a windows VM but it’s a little annoying to use so you may just want to skip through the hassle.

What VM are they using?

Which practice are you joining? If you are joining the ‘classic’ consulting teams (don’t have a different name), then the options you get are: X1 Yoga, X1 Carbon or Microsoft Surface (all Windows 10 based)

But if you are part of Gamma, DV, Platinion I believe you also get an option to choose Mac.

Ah got it. I'm joining Gamma.

About rolling off my project with no new project opportunity yet. I’m already getting anxious and can’t have a full night rest with the worry of not finding a project soon and eventually getting laid off. Although I tend to stress-out easily but this type of anxiety is different. Are others feeling the same way? Also over 90% chargeability and great reviews, but seems like that may not matter with the recent layoff stories I’ve read....
