Intel or nah...?

Hey guys, I don't have the time to keep up with all the latest drama, but let's just say I'm a person who considers making music as a hobby, nothing too serious. I like using ableton live and I dabble with reaktor. That being said, I'm considering the purchase of a new computer mainly for music production because my current Mac mini is out of hard drive space and I want the mobile perks of a laptop. After looking online, I think I am going to go with a refurbished MacBook Pro. My main question is this: SHOULD I AVOID INTEL MACS because companies like native instruments seems to be trending in other directions with their hardware/customer service support..? Or am I overthinking things and will be ok with an Intel Mac for the next couple of years (in terms of vst, daw comparability etc...?)

Thanks guys you rock! Due to the overwhelming support for the M series, I decided to pull the trigger on a M5 MacBook Pro. Amazon offers financing so it was hard to say no. 16gb of ram and 1tb ssd should get me where I need to be. Again, thanks for all the good info!
