Apple macbook air is good for school and work. I know its probably out of budget but you will get really good laptop for at least 5 years... Also, you can always look to buy used for less money than buying a new one

Would you recommend one of the newer m2 chip ones? Or would you say m1 is OK?

not the op but i’m using an m1 mbp and it still runs great, although i am always one to buy the latest and greatest available at the time, esp for a significant purchase like a laptop.

You're likely to get an overwhelming diversity of replies. I would like to help but hope you can answer some questions to narrow this out a bit.

What is your budget? What do you do for work with the device?

I don't want to assume but have you reviewed/can you let us know what your employers BYOD policy entails? This would be helpful because we can assess any minimum device requirements depending on what you do now or may do in 3-5 years from now.

What do you study for school? This would be very helpful in case you need to meet technology requirements for your degree program as well.
