For high school level, you don't necessarily exploit all the features in a Macbook Air or Macbook Pro would use.

An ipad with a keyboard would do the trick.

    I disagree about using an iPad. It’s just not as intuitive for the school work you might need it for. I just got a 2022 mb air m2 (on sale at Costco for 849) and love it

    I disagree, I tried using an iPad with a keyboard for school and while it was alright using a MacBook became so much better, I had wayy less limitations and it was a lot more usable day to day. Maybe it will suit them more but I also had a number of issues with school software support on iPad vs Mac
