I am a high schooler and I really need a laptop to use mainly for Ableton Live Lite and (cracked) Photoshop. I also intend on using it to play games (like stardew valley and jackbox tv) ocasionally, and to use apps such as spotify and discord. I’d rather have a small and light machine, that I could easily transport. I also intend to use it during my college years.

I’ve asked for recommendations from people IRL but I couldn’t reach a consensus. The machines that were recommended to me were:

— Dell Inspiron 15 — Acer Nitro 5 — Macbook Air M2 2022 (256 gb)

I have no idea what to buy

What would you recommend?

ps: i’m an iPhone user ps 2: im on a budget
