We ordered the base MBA M1 for our 12 year old to help with remote school (Zoom / Goodle Docs, etc), he's also into Roblox.
Currently he's using an iPad for daily schoolwork via Zoom, and sometimes he'll use our old 2007 iMac for longer Google Docs assignments; it struggles with Chrome, but's he's thankful to use a real keyboard. He also uses this iMac to play Roblox sometimes.
I know the M1 is a screamer, and he's not doing anything taxing per se, but is the RAM or SSD going to limit him being able to make this work for a few years? I assume not, and almost feel silly asking the question. We did AppleCare+ to be safe even though the machine is relatively inexpensive.
We also have a 16" MBP i9 with 16GB ram, but he doesnt get to use that!
