Choosing a laptop/ultrabook for study/programming?

I'm finishing the 11th grade, I'm going to leave to study, the question arose about buying a laptop. From the experience of using my sister's large-sized Lenovo (I took it while traveling to the Olympics, so I managed to evaluate it), I learned for myself that, nevertheless, for everyday use, something easier is needed. The priority task is programming (on a PC I'm used to Visual Studio) and solving various kinds of issues related to study. Other than that, I'm playing around with Unity a little. About the use for "office and home" purposes, of course, there should be no questions here: the Internet, films, etc. usually don't cause problems. Sometimes, as a rest, I would like to have access to some games (to play FIFA with friends, etc.), but sky-high capacities are not required, so, indulge. In general, you need a smooth and fast, preferably an ultrabook, not a laptop, for comfortable work and leisure. It would be nice to meet a macbook. But here are the questions: which one is better to choose (is there enough air) and the availability of programs for work (for example, development environments) + price ceiling, well, 45,000 -50,000 rubles at most. And in general, how suitable is a macbook for a programmer? If there are other suggestions - I'll listen with pleasure. Thank you.

A year and a half on a MacBook Pro. Suits everything. For programming Xcode, despite a bunch of unflattering reviews about it, I have no problems with it at all. In my opinion, visuals are many times better.
After MacOS, I will not return to Windows, unless a miracle happens. (Here you can also recall their cool Trackpad, which completely replaced the mouse for me, even in shooters)
All the games that interest me usually either run through wine or in VirtualBox, and recently there are more and more games for Mac.
I can't imagine what you need to do in your undergraduate studies, so that there would not be enough air's capacity.
The only problem for all the time in programming was when it was necessary to do a lab on openMP, which at that moment was not supported by llvm. The problem was solved by ubuntu under VirtualBox
