I would be content to stay muted and simply prace the spacebar when I need to speak in many Zoom calls I participate on. Unfortunately, that also triggers a flurry of speech from VO, so I first have to silence VO before using the spacebar. This is my top peeve with VO and Zoom. I wish it were

Unless you want to also run Windows on your Mac, i.e. in a virtual machine, I'd definitely go for some version of the M1 currently on offer. Or, wait to see what's released in a few months--which is what I'm doing myself. My current laptop is an 11 inch model Mac Air. I doubt Apple will again

OK, that's a pretty light audio recording requirement. Before buying an older machine, though, you might want to be sure you can upgrade its OS to the minimum requirement for Audio Hijack. Beyond that it's just a question of how many hours of audio you want to store. As you'll likely use mp3,
