    Hello!
    I’m new here and I hope I’ll get some good recommendations:
    I would like to buy myself a laptop soon and because it’s going to be my first computer I don’t know much about this subject. I want it for school work, start learning about some coding and play Minecraft (as smoothly as possible, around 100fps and I’m probably not going to use many mods or shaders). I thought a refurbished MacBook Air M1 chip, 8-core CPU, 7-core GPU, 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD looked good for what I needed. Again, I’m only starting to learn about computers so I don’t know much about them and what’s important in the make up.
    Is this laptop a good choice for my needs? Would you recommend another one?
    My budget is up to about 900£
    Have a nice day!

    • i5-1135G7 (2.4 GHz, Turbo up to 4.2 GHz, L3 Cache 8MB, 28 W) - QCi5-11th(TGL)
    • Intel Iris Xe Graphics

    Things to consider when buying a laptop for yourself-

    • Size & form-factor. When it comes to laptops, size matters.
    • Screen quality.
    • Keyboard quality.
    • CPU.
    • RAM.
    • Storage.
    • Battery life.
    • USB Type-C
