Definitely not underpowered for CS work. The screen is typical for a 13” laptop but the detail is good and your kid’s eyes will probably be fine with higher resolution settings. They may want an external monitor at their home/apt. A 24” 4K monitor is not expensive. I would recommend the 16GB RAM upgrade, though.
This would be a very good monitor for a student of nearly any type. It is small and lightweight. The processor is more powerful than most other laptops with an Intel processor. The battery will last for many hours. The only real downside is that there are not a lot of video games available for Macs. If they don’t care about that, this it a really good choice.

- Tagbert 4y agoThis is an LG 24” 4K for $280. I don’t know if it is any good but it is available. I only mentioned the 24” as they might not want the larger monitor in a dorm or small apt. https://www.amazon.com/LG-24UD58-B-24-Inch-Monitor-FreeSync/dp/B01LPNKFK0/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1MQJPX8O2K3UC&keywords=Monitor%2B4K%2B24”&qid=1658022943&sprefix=monitor%2B4k%2B24%2B%2Caps%2C136&sr=8-3&th=1 https://www.amazon.com/LG-24UD58-B-24-Inch-Monitor-FreeSync/...
