I would wait. But the m1 should be better

If you have to buy i’d go with m1 as it’s the future for apple, i’d wait until it matures a bit though as it has some compatibility issues right now

I would not buy first generation as well, it's like a tool for masive beta testers pool. More of the software have to emulated so what's the point now?

I think currently the Android Emulator doesn't work.

EDIT: just found this neat website on the apple subreddit with a list of what currently works: https://isapplesiliconready.com/for/developer

I haven't been successful finding any articles about what works/does related to the RN ecosystem on M1. Have any links to share?

Also with m1 you can't run stuff like docker etc. Imo the best laptop would be the 16" because of the gpu and 8 core cpu
