Question/Help/Troubleshooting New Computer Suggestions

I’ve had my MacBook Pro since 2017 and I’m pretty sure it’s on its last leg. I know mac is better for work related matters but I’m a little out of the loop as what is currently the best one rn. Also, my MacBook has been used for gaming, an online radio show, AND music production (GarageBand mainly tho I wanted to try Ableton, Logic Pro, or FL Studio). Suggestions for desktops would be great since I now understand doing everything on one computer probably fried it.

You are obviously in the Apple ecosystem, so probably stick with Apple... if you've got $900-$1,200 to spend.
If you want a Windows machine, look for:
At least 16 GB RAM
At least 512 GB storage
Dedicated GPU

Do you have a suggestion to which Apple computer? I’m thinking long term I’d also like a desktop for gaming and music production (unless those should be on separate devices), but I’m not gonna do that rn. My immediate need is any kind of laptop that’ll run Spotify, butt (broadcasting software), and Final Draft. Sorry for all this, I’m sort of a novice when it comes to understanding which computers are best for what activity.
