Confused here, why macOS need windows 10 license? And it was mentioned above that the office software like numbers/ keynote/ pages etc were free that comes with mbp?

Google bootcamp and it will teach and tell you that you can use Windows and MacOS (one at a time) on your Macbook. This requires you to buy a Windows 10 license key as it's like installing Windows on a new pc.

Bootcamp is actually a software that it preloaded into mac to help you install Windows (or Linux if possible) on your Macbook.

The correct term here is call dual boot. You going to dual boot 2 types of OS on 1 single machine ONE AT A TIME.

Cool, but without windows10 on Mac, it should be still good enough right? I mean why need windows in a Mac? What’s lacking in Mac?

Office 365 for Mac does not have all the functions that are available in Office 365 for windows.

If you need to use your computer for work and company is with Microsoft applications, i would suggest that you buy a windows PC.

I have both systems. Company issued windows notebook and Macbook pro for personal use. I can use both computers for work as the company is  on Office 365.

That’s right! But the Office 365 for Mac keep improving and i think they let Mac to use more function now.

Nevertheless, very seldom to need the advance function unless there is advance analysis required. By that, maybe TS will consider to use his desktop instead. Because bigger screen and more powerful CPU.

For my practise, i use company laptop only for office/working purpose. For personal use, example: investment study, entertainment, bank transfer, notes, etc, i will use my own Macbook/iPad Pro/iPhone.

Yes, I'm on iPadOS. It won't work exactly the same like a laptop. But very useful when I work on single task and listen to Spotify. Sometimes I use it as my second screen (no sidecar because my MacBook Air 2017). Example: I use my iPad and Macbook at the same time for video conference, iPad for video conference, MacBook for data process/excel/etc. Or vice versa.

But I subscribe Microsoft 365 (come with 1TB OneDrive), and iCloud lah. Copy in iPad can directly paste in my MacBook, vice versa. Also the same for website browsing. Also, all my files in OneDrive/iCloud so I can open in both device at the same time. When need to transfer file between this two device, it is very easy when use airdrop.
