Interested in buying a m1 or m2 macbook.

macOS and Mac Apps

10 Years ago I had an intel mac. due to all the issues regarding voiceover I was able to cell it.
After a few years without a mac I am getting the urge to buy one of the m1 or m2 macbooks.
I am working in the accessibility field nowadays and I have the feeling a mac in my life can find its place along side my windows boxes.

I already have an Ipad mini and an Iphone.
Apps I am curious about the accessibility on mac these days are:
Fantastical for mac, Timery for mac, outlook/ word for mac, shortcuts for mac and fiery feeds for mac.
THese are all apps I use on IOS and would love to see them on the macbook as well.
Further more I am curious about the accesssibility of todoist and firefox / chrome or edge.
I am more open to learn and understand the concepts of the mac now, do you all think it is a good idea to go down this road?
or is the mac platform a thing from the past for the blind community?

Thanks for any feedback.

Unless you are planning to do heavy work and spend money the m2. However I hear the m1 is the sane as the m2. Regarding VO from what I hear is nothing to write home about it. However since you use them in the past you probably like it. Heard a podcast on the AppleInsider about both and mostly suggested m1 will be OK.
