Im in desperate need of a laptop and am kind of on a budget and am looking for a laptop that I can use to study and editing videos , is the MacBook m1 worth it or should I save more money and get the m2.? I want to buy a laptop that will still be good in 4/5 years from now because I don’t want to be worried about having to buy a new one for a long time I’m done going to the library on rainy days to use their slow pc’s :,)

I have base M1s for personal and work. For my needs I haven’t found a (legitimate) reason to upgrade. Plenty fast, I store photos and music on cloud and use an external drive for movies, etc. which I use to stream to AppleTV. Been solid.

I’d say ultimately, it comes down to your need in using the MacBook…my son has 4+ year old Pro model (battery replaced under warranty), my daugher one likely 6+ years. So hopefully that gives you a sense of longevity.
