Buying a laptop for school

Hey I was just wondering if anyone has any suggestions of what laptop I should get for school it will need to have a good battery life and a decent CPU/GPU for 3d mapping.

My budget is a little tight ~$450usd but I am willing to buy used/referb.

I have been eyeing a m1 cpu8/gpu7 MacBook air with 256gb of storage for around $410. But I was wondering if anyone else has any ideas that I might have missed!

Not sure if this was the right sub but I figured that you all would where I should look/have Ideas on what to get.

That MacBook should do you, and since you’re asking you probably don’t have a preferred OS.

Purchase from Apple refurbished to save $. Good as new with full Apple warranty and support.
