I bought a MacBook Air M2.
As of writing, it's very affordable with the 16 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD, 13.6" model available for $750.
As of writing, also Asahi Linux doesn't support anything newer than M2.
I’m using Asahi on an M1 Air I got for like $400 recently. Is legit, super easy install. Don’t have HDMI support, unfortunately, but that’s not the worst thing.
I wish I liked more of the hardware of linux laptop manufacturers :(
I tried to support various ones a few times but they are all just “adequate-at-best” laptops in terms of battery, keyboard, audio, screen, etc
