For high school level, you don't necessarily exploit all the features in a Macbook Air or Macbook Pro would use.

An ipad with a keyboard would do the trick.

I disagree about using an iPad. It’s just not as intuitive for the school work you might need it for. I just got a 2022 mb air m2 (on sale at Costco for 849) and love it

Can confirm this, I much prefer doing my schoolwork on my MacBook. Would protest if I had to do it on a iPad. Plus using a laptop with an actual “desktop” environment will set you up for the future!!
