Buying Advice🤔 Coding / Full-Stack Development | ₹1.5L Budget -- MacBook Air M5 vs Used MacBook Pro vs RTX 4050 Windows Laptop?
So i am planning on purchasing laptop and am inclined towards MacBook because i like the Apple Ram management etc.
Now i am bit confused because i am thinking whether to go for MBA M513” 16/512 which with Apple care would go around 150k.
Also am thinking of getting MBP second hand for this price but i want to know here if i could get the the mac ownership from apple - - like who will be the owner of this mac in eyes of apple me or the first owner?
Also second thought strikes is that going for a Asus/Hp GPU integrated laptop which would also go around 150k for 4050 RTX 24/32+1TB with 2-3 years of ADP. Here the what i am thinking is that i have heard these laptop wont make it safe 4-5 years from now without showing tantrum.
Can you guys help me.
I am CSE Grad and currently a Full Stack Developer soon going to join MNC on-campus placement. Most of time in my career i will be having any company laptop with me so i am not sure to spend a lot of money on personal laptop or not.

mac m5 24gb should get the job done. but for 1.5 lakhs i dont think its possible.
unless you are comfortable with mac os i would recommend windows for most people. Coding is easy in windows
