This is not news, nor have I written anything untrue. I want to give the best answer, and with Apple simple things become involved.
I've seen two recommendations: "buy any, it's always safe" and "this brand is always safe". I see this as bad advice and heavily recommend to ask in a musician forum (share specs).

What? I'm writing this from a still fully supported 2013 macbook pro. I even got a new battery a while back under warranty.
Almost 9 years of support and it's still a great machine. (the spec in 2013 - SSD, retina screen, quad core i7, dual graphic cards & 16GB RAM)
I am 100% converted to Apple, the OS & tech is superb. Show me a machine as powerful as the M1 Macbook air for the same price, show me something as powerful as the M1 Max I have on the way.
There is a reason that so many people in the video/sound/publishing/editing world use them.
