I think Pro 2.4 would run fine on this flavor Mac under BootCamp.

Storage: 500 GB Flash Storage (220.12 GB available) If I need to buy a new machine, can someone recommend the best laptop for someone new to ArcGIS Pro 2.3 and unfamiliar with PCs? I am looking for something that is user friendly and reasonably priced. My question is, can I successfully partition the hard drive on my MacBook (specs below) to run the program or is it better to purchase a PC?

I have been advised to make sure that your computer meets the specifications needed to run ArcGIS Pro 2.4, both in terms of hardware but also the video/graphics adapter requirements (including the dedicated graphics RAM) Your computer should meet the RECOMMENDED specifications, not the MINIMUM. For the past 15 years, I have only been using MacBooks. Three of my future courses will require a machine that can run ArcGIS Pro 2.4. Up to this point, I have been able to use my 2016 MacBook Pro. I am a student, just beginning my GIS courses.
