Windows laptop died on me last night, making the move back to Mac

I can get a boxed/sealed 2019 MacBook for £1.5k (link below is retail price + full specs)
argos.co.uk/product/1954375

I‘m mainly going to be using it for Adobe, CAD & music production.

For the price I can get it for, is it worth it? Do the specs still hold up? Or are the M1 models going to make this model redundant in a few years? My budget is 1.5k & if I opt for an M1 model the RAM and storage would have to be significantly lower as well as a smaller screen size which is making me think it’s not worth it.

Opinions & advice pls thnx

Great deal tbh i bought my 16gb i7 512gb for 2200 brand new

How’s it holding up? You tryna upgrade any time soon?

Nah I plan on keeping it until it dies, it was my main computer for a year until i built a pc but it still runs perfectly

what do u plan on doing with it

intel chips

brokeys (you) are their exit liquidity

Photo/video editing with Adobe, 3D modelling with Autodesk software & music production

Do you think artists like YEAT actually worship the devil to get mainstream?

get the m1 with 16ram & 256gb and add an sd card or an external ssd
if u need it even cheaper go for the air unless u really need that fan
got the m1 air last month probably one of the best purchases i've ever made

get the m1

i9's overheat a lot fam.

M1 Air is so good and it's £800

£1500 can get you the base M1 Pro

Get that pls

I have it & wish I had an m1

I have one for work and I love it. Does pretty much everything I could want it too, except maybe have better battery. That being said I can’t justify buying an intel Mac in 2022 (like others have said)
Even the M1 MacBook Air is probably a better buy for the money

I'll probably get a Mac Mini for my next computer cop

But is the Air fine for Ableton?

get the m1. big difference

Apple Silicon >>> Intel (for most purposes)

yes and once Ableton 11.1 comes out you won't need to use Roestta and it will run much faster via a Universal (Apple ARM) build of the App

Get an M1 if your workflow is compatible on ARM

Just get M1

Copped the 2021 14” Pro M1 base model for 1.5k sealed this s*** is beautiful thanks guys

you made the right choice brother
