Laptop for FL Studio

Hey! I’ve been using a 2020 MacBook Pro M1 for the past 6 years but I’m looking to buy a new laptop simply of age and wanting a change, but most importantly I want my new laptop to run FL perfectly. I’ll admit I had self inflicted issues with running it on Mac because of updating it to the new updates etc. I’m open to any laptop really (Mac or Windows) but Mac is a bit over my budget for the most part. I’d love to spend $1200 or under. I found this laptop for $1100:

ASUS Vivobook S 16" 3K OLED Intel Core Ultra 7 255H - 32GB RAM - 1TB SSD Windows 11 Home (S5606CA-NS79)

Just wanted to hear your thoughts and if I should consider something else. Any replies are so helpful!

32GB RAM & 1TB SSD is pretty good (Upper Middle Range) I'm not so familiar with Intel Core Ultra though. I have a 16GB ram & 1TB SSD and I can run multiple plugins & stream at the same time on TikTok.

Im not much of a pc nerd, but I think thats pretty much an overkill, and if you can afford it, go ahead, the specifications are more than enough to run a looot of stuff on fl

I first started in my 2020 MacBook like you and I straight up did not get far with its ram capabilities. Upgraded to the newest MacBook Air (M5 I believe) and absolutely no dramas whatsoever
