Hi all,
It's been a while since i have been looking to buy a laptop, i did went through several models on Asus, Lenovo, Acer, Dell, HP the gaming laptop (900 USD and above) for high configuration (32 GB, 15 inch, 512/1TB SSD and with graphic card), some or the other issues i read online, only Dell and Asus seems not having not much issues except fan noise and the large charger adapter to carry on Dell laptop.

And then i switched to looking for Macbook Pro laptops (never had one till now), and came across i7 and i9 and on Reddit when asked was told not to purchase them and go for M1 or above, i came cross one store in Bangalore which is selling used laptop (not refurbished), and below are the specs with pricing, could you please suggest which one should i go for?? :
