MacBook laptops are generally considered to be high-quality, reliable devices that can be used for a variety of purposes, including programming and data science. They are known for their long-lasting durability and strong performance, which can make them a good choice for daily use and programming.
One of the key advantages of MacBook laptops is their robust operating system, macOS, which is designed to be stable and easy to use. This can make them a good choice for programming, as it provides a smooth and reliable environment for writing, testing, and debugging code. MacBooks also come with a variety of developer tools pre-installed, such as Xcode and Terminal, which can be useful for programming tasks.
In terms of flexibility, MacBook laptops offer a wide range of options in terms of hardware configurations, which can make them suitable for a variety of programming tasks. They also have a large number of available software and tools that can be used for programming, such as IDEs (Integrated Development Environments) and libraries, which can help to expand their flexibility and capabilities.
Overall, a MacBook can be a good choice for both daily use and programming, as long as it meets your specific needs and requirements. It is always a good idea to carefully research and compare different options before making a purchase, to ensure that you choose a device that will meet your needs and provide good value for money.

New M1 Macbook Air is $799 on Amazon if you can stretch a little.
It’s an air not a pro but for Basic needs it’s more then adequate, you could still do editing in any kind just may heat up and throttle faster.
You’re better off buying the M1 Air. The performance is almost identical, so only thing you’re really losing is the Touch Bar. That said, the Air can be had for around $800 on refurbished sites like Apples shop. Otherwise new can be found on sale at places like Best Buy or Amazon.
Então, não tem porque comprar o pro na gen de 2020, na de 2021 vale(lançou tem 2 semanas). Praticamente sem diferença de performance, só tem o touchbar e fans.
O MacBook air M1 ta 7300 na amazon:

Não tem comparar diretamente a RAM porque a arquitetura é diferente. A RAM nos M1 é parte da arquitetura e fica dentro do próprio processador. É uma arquitetura completamente diferente(ARM). Na prática isso significa que a comunicação CPU-RAM é muito mais rápida por não ser limitado pelo barramento. Esse era meu maior receio quando comprei, porque eu tava saindo de um desktop Ryzen 7 + 3080 pra um note com 8gb de ram hahaha incrivelmente é a mesma sensação.
Sobre o SSD, pesquisando vi que o SSD do Nitro 5 tem read/write de +- 550MB/S enquanto os SSDs dos MacBooks tem read/white de +-2400MB/s.
Mas o principal é que não são a mesma classe de notebooks, o Nitro 5 se propõe a ser gamer, ficar conectado na tomada o tempo inteiro, não é um dispositivo portátil de fato. O MacBook é um ultrafino que se propõe a ser de fato portátil, bateria dura 20h, não esquenta nada e tem performance excelente.
Pra gamer vale escolher outra coisa mesmo, eu iria de Lenovo nesse caso, Legion 5i é bem bom.
I had the same problem, I had to buy one of these to get it to stop. Works fine now.
Thanks for the speedy response. Alright, looks like I'm inching towards the m1 MacBook air. Just to confirm, this is the right one, right? And it has that "true quiet" i've heard about?
Neither. Both are poor value now the M1 MacBook Air is out.
I have seen M1 MacBook Airs for 3600AED on Amazon
If you prefer a UAE model and have an education discount you can get it from Apple for 3950AED in Dubai Mall or Mall of Emirates.

Dell XPS 13 2in1 Your portable, powerful machine.(16:10 aspect ratio)
Surface laptop 3 for 3:2 aspect ratio
Surface Pro X Arm based laptop
If by powerful you mean you want a discrete GPU, I suggest you go or Dell XPS 15 instead of 2in1, and instead of vivobook 15 go for Hp x360
So first option: M1 air, Chromebook, XPS 13 2in1, surface laptop 3 & Pro X, vivobook and HP 17, 5800USD.
2nd:M1 air, Chromebook, XPS 15, Surface laptop 3 & Pro X, HP x360 & 17, 6000USD.
I know it's 7 laptops, but it was hard to check all the boxes.
XPS 17 is a great option too, top of the line model comes with 2060.
If your husband wants to stick with the Mac he can buy a new MacBook Air 256GB version for around $950 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08N5LNQCX but because that is not sub $800 I would recommend these two laptops that are really popular and used a lot!
The first one is Acer Aspire and it is used most of the times for business and software use, you can find it here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B087BGWNFK
The second one is more “gaming” based and it has a better GPU if that is important to him, here is the link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VC55LF5
