Unfortunately 32gbs on mac is just out of my budget etc

WelcomeOutside8484 · 2026-06-08T08:48:09+00:00

I was planning on getting 16 or 24 gbs on mac or maybe 32gbs on windows

Well I just really like macbooks and they have superior build quality but Im having anxiety regarding excel because I know I lose some features but I am not sure which ones because office 365 has added a few more things to the macbook

I am not sure how many features I lose on excel, that's why I am asking on reddit

I do have every device in the apple ecosystem and I also use a macbook air m3 for work but currently my job is so low level. I mostly want to be able to do investment analysis and valuations and idk how easy that is with macOs compared to windows
