I recently decided to opt for going for a macbook as my first laptop since I'm heading off into college. No more of that old slow school issed chromebooks anymore. However I have a budget of around $800. Should I go for a new macbook air with the m1 chip or some older macbooks that are used. I've seen some old macbook pros for around $800 as well. I plan to use this laptop to do edits, school work, code, and just a regular daily use for youtube or just reading. Any help and opinions would be great. Thanks.

Definitely an M1 MBA for your use case. With 16GB RAM & 512GB SSD you can find them lightly used for ~$850.
