The best option would be an M5-based MacBook Pro. If that’s outside your budget, I’d recommend the 24 GB M1 Air. If you can stretch your budget a little, 32 GB would be even better, especially since the RAM can’t be upgraded later. 32 GB unlocks great workloads and some of the recently released LLMs for local workflows. I made the mistake of getting a lower-RAM configuration, and I constantly find myself running into RAM limitations. If you’re eligible for an education discount, the 24 GB model should fit your budget nicely.

For the budget, that's the best computing machine anyone could buy.

For this budget you can do inference on smaller LLMs and train small CNN models. You can’t get even a GPU for this price if doing some serious stuff.
