This. But don't bother with the Pro unless you want a 14 inch. The M1/M2 MacBook Air are more then enough for anything but graphic design/video editing and even then they can still do well there. The M1/M2 are crazy. Gaming Laptops are absolutely terrible for everything but gaming. You'll be stuck connected to outlets for even basic tasks, they are loud even in basic tasks, and big and heavy.MacBook Pro. If too expensive, MacBook Air.
Just don’t expect to play games on it.
If you really don't want a Mac get something like a Surface Laptop. You can't find a better laptop under $1K then a MBA but the Surface Laptop is also under $1K.
Acer makes the Swift X as well which is a thing and light that comes with a RTX 3050. It's only 30w so it's not super powerful but will be able to game way better then dedicated stuff like Ryzen or Iris. M1 can do surprisingly well but it's much harder to find games that work being a Mac.
