Look for a 16Gb RAM in order to use IDEs + Docker alltogether.

They all are 1000$ You can check Huawei and Xiaomi, they are cheaper and good quality https://www.google.com/search?q=huawei+16gb&oq=huawei+16gb&a...

If you plan to use Docker I'd recommend not buying a Macbook. It runs inside a VM on OSX and is really bad at performance, you can literally save hours per week waiting for commands to run on OSX.

Buy a mac mini. Add a decent monitor, keyboard and mouse and you are ready.

Try looking at Tuxedo laptops
