    If you were just going to use it for browsing the web then you don’t need anything that’s capable as an M1 processor, you’re just paying for performance overhead. Just buy a cheap Lenovo. Yeah I know we don’t like Windows but it’s a well-known operating system and when it inevitably breaks you don’t have to go to Apple to fix it. Any random PC repair shop will be able to deal with it.

      Just need to make sure the cheap Lenovo has sufficient RAM. I have a $300 HP laptop and it’s slows down if I have more than 10 tabs open on Firefox.
