I ended up purchasing a Pro 16.2" with m1 pro and 16 RAM with 512 SSD. No additional warranty aside from standard 12-month defects and functionality warranty. Hope I won’t regret it until I’m able to upgrade to a better one when needed.🙂

Thanks again!🖖

extensive machine learning or multiple VMs.

Yes.

I’m thinking about it right now before what I’m looking at becomes unavailable.

Thanks!

Windows/Linux I’m familiar with. Apple os would be a first, so I was thinking having the option to run the previous 2 is important.🙂

c/c++/rust Yes. But I was thinking of learning Java next.

I’m looking at a macbook pro (refurbished) 13.3-inch m1 (16 RAM & 512 SSD) for 1200 €. But I was reading about the touchbar in that model saying that it should be avoided for security reasons. I don’t have the link, so I have to look it up now. I think I misread it.

Thanks!
