Disagree on the last point, I'm a university student who spent 1k on a MacBook Air, and I don't have a console or gaming PC because I can't afford it. I study Computer Engineering, so having a good laptop was important. Prior to this I owned refurbished ThinkPad running Linux which cost me around $500 but had multiple issues with performance and speed, to the point where buying an M1-class machine was almost necessary for me.
