Hello

As per most of the users, specially the ones doing a major in CSE, Macbook air M! is a winner. 8GB (can be configured p to 16GB) of RAM with 256GB of storage, 7-core GPU version of the Apple M1 SoC is an ideal choice for most. It is slightly expensive but a good buy nevertheless. It is small and light and will last a longer time. If money is a factor then you  can go with windows Lenovo ThinkpadE14.
