Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Make a list of what software you want to run, and check compatibilities for mac os, windows etc.
Check your budget against the available mac platforms, and see if that gives you what you want. (You can get a PC for any amount of money generally). As for specs, do a search on the forums, since there's a ton of info already. If you have a specific question, feel free to ask.
Hope that helps.

Only thing I would have a think about is graphics card in the Macs. (same when specing a PC for maya though)
Macs are good as a platform with balanced hardware but suffer in upgrading and customisation.

A Mac works for any Mac program because it HAS to. If there is any compatibility issue a Mac just freaks out and wont listen. With Windows you have the ability to run unsupported software at the risk of it being unstable. Apple pretty much makes it impossible to indie or customise so thats where the 'Macintoshes never crash' thing comes from.
Don't buy in when people say how amazing Mac's are for editing and graphic design. Its the same deal as before except you are paying twice as much for something that will just be outdated when the iWhatever (insert next version here) comes out...
But thats just my bias iPinion...
