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

I think the most important question to ask is what applications is your friend going to be using. Although I am still learning how to use the Mac, you can browse the web, complete assignments in Pages or text edit, and write coding. What major is your friend going into? If your friend needs
