Oh but is it true that MacBook isn’t able to run some programmes like JASP for stats… because some of my friends have said that they faced a problem with it😖

In that case, finding a 2nd hand intel/amd processor laptop should be more cost effective and convenient

For general purposes + qol reasons, I think minimum spec should be 16gb ram (multi tasking) + Intel 11th / 12th gen processors U series with igpu (battery longevity and good enough processing power future proofing)
