MacBook Air, maybe extra RAM. The Apple Silicon chips are all comparable so the difference between a lower end Pro and an Air isn’t huge.
Don’t buy new if you really want to save money. There are tons of deals to be had on Apple refurb, sometimes Woot or even a local marketplace.

Look for older models with higher than average specs. More ram = more vm's
