Apple

I posted a few weeks ago about what Macbook to get and there was a helpful comment but I’m still unsure. I realised now I was probably asking the wrong question. I’m currently in college and want a future proof laptop for the next 5-6 years. As of now I only do light coding however I’m planning to start doing more heavy game dev tasks in the coming years and pursue this as a career. My main question is what should my minimum specs be? Main things are chipset, RAM and maybe SSD size though it’s much cheaper to have an external one. I’m hoping to connect to an external monitor which means the Pro’s built in HDMI port will be helpful though if the Air is better I can always get an adapter. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

I’m also planning to go to my local Apple store to ask someone there bus Reddit may be more useful and will help give me an idea of what to look for.
