Help choose between which MacBook

I really want to make sure I get my money’s worth.

Then get a PC !!!! It is cheaper especially for students!¬!

Help!!
I’m looking to buy a new laptop for when I go to Uni this year and to use it beyond that.
I’am trying to compare the MacBook Pro intel core i5 with the new MacBook Pro M1 chip.
I will be using softwares like Fusion 360, any other Autodesk softwares and Adobe softwares like Illustrator, photoshop and indesign.
I understand the new MacBook Pro M1 support these through rosseta but can have some issues. But they claim they are going to fix these issues... if and when? I don’t know.
And the MacBook Pro Intel works perfectly with these softwares.
The new M1 is proven to be a lot faster ext, but I’m still questioning where it’s worth getting the M1 chip or one with intel, when using these softwares.

Please help a gal out. Im struggling to decide and have never own a MacBook before and I really want to make sure I get my money’s worth.

If you're insistent on a MacBook, the best advice I can give you is to get the M1 Air, especially as you could spend the money you would spend on an 8GB Pro on a 16GB Air, which will likely be more meaningful to performance than the slight CPU boost.

But honestly, as much as I hate to say it with how good the M1 CPU is, for your use case it's not the best idea. There's a solid chance that Rosetta isn't going to play well with the applications you've listed, and while there is a decent chance it'll work, it's probably not going to be worth chancing it when it means that you could be unable to run stuff that you need to use for your degree. And I'd rule out any Intel Macs due to the high chance of Apple discontinuing software support down the line once they've done with the transition to Apple Silicon.

In the long run apple products are better since they tend to have a much better build quality than most windows devices. Cheap isn’t always good especially when you need something to be reliable.

Will it be powerful enough to hold many software - especially Autodesk?

im not sure what autodesk is

I do not know what course the poster is going to take, but Autodesk is well know for Architecture (AutoCAD) that will require lots of memory. This is one of the reason why I am not sure of Apple unless buy expensive ones with powerful RAM
