As an IT professional, you are stuck in the past. I use two MacBooks Pro (13, 16). I have no idea how much memory they got, how large their drives are, or which processors are inside.
I don't have even ONE file on them. Everything is in the cloud and backed up.
Speaking of professionalism, Acer, Asus, MSI? For real?
And the last one, I never heard that machine broke out of nothing (talking about Apple). It was either physically damaged or lost. But educated users have a backup, don't they?
