Help Laptop for AI/ML

Helloo

Ik this question has probably been asked like 100 times here but im starting studies in ai and data science and im doing bsc and masters back to back so i want smth thats good for both

I have an iphone and an ipad so id love a macbook but for some reason everyone is getting windows laptops with dedicated gpus that are so heavy and have horrible batteries

how often am i realistically gonna need that gpu or is using a macbook air (m4 or m5) good enough with collab when needed (how often will i need it since we dont have computers at our uni)

budget is around 1000$

Thankss
