Which macbook to choose for Swift development in 2021?

Question

macbook

Good afternoon!
Tell me, please, with the choice of Macbook Pro 13'' for development on Swift.
1) Does it make sense to take 2019 models or is it better to use M1 right away?
2) Will 8 GB of RAM be enough for XCode, Chrome, etc.

Answer 1

Here you need to see if you need Windows as a second system. If not, then take it with the m1 processor, but it's better to wait for the m2 release. Well, I would not consider memory less than 16 gigabytes.
