The last one is the best. But there is no way that software isn't pirated. Which means you can't clean install the OS without losing it. It also means that you have to trust that someone who is unscrupulous enough to put pirated software on a computer for sale and act like it is above board. Is also honest enough to not put any sort of tracking software on the computer.

If you want software. Pay for it or use free/open source alternatives.

I wouldn't buy ANY of those.

Buy something from the Apple online refurbished store:

Refurbished Mac Deals - Apple

Save up to 15% on a refurbished Mac. Tested and certified by Apple including a 1-year warranty. Free delivery and returns.

www.apple.com

Then you'll KNOW what you're getting.
(and you get a 1-year warranty, too)

Just 8GB of RAM for Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro?

But you are quite right, this does all look like pirated software that will probably not update after OP changes to his Apple ID, or not even install again after factory resetting the computer, which should definitely be done with a second hand computer!

I would never buy the 2019's. They are plagued by a flawed keyboard design that will fail multiple times and a weak display cable that easily tears. Also, they thermal throttle heavily and get extremely hot fast. Loud fans too.

M1 MBA is the way to go if you want a cheap Mac laptop.

I just get the impression Op is more likely just learning the programs. Which 8GB will suffice for learning, fiddling and putting some stuff up on Tiktok and YouTube.
