Hi guys, can anyone help me with choosing to buy a new laptop.

I currently have 2019 MacBook Pro for daily use, and I want to buy a Windows laptop to learn some Help Desk related applications or software to get back into IT jobs as I have degree in IT and currently work in accommodation hotels. I'm just not able to decide which laptop to buy as I'm hearing Qualcomm processors don't support lot of apps at the moment.

If there are any tech geeks, please help me!

  What apps are you (or going to be) using?

  You are hearing correctly…… Still with the x86 platform to ensure all apps work at this point in time.

  You are better off going with an AMD processor than Intel these days.

  So you have spent years at university to get an IT degree, and you are asking a bunch of randoms on the internet for IT advice on a pretty basic issue?
