a 2560 x 1600 pixels screen with less than 1.5 kilos in weight.

What makes things easier for me is using it in conjunction with remote VSCode (into either local WSL2 or aforementioned cloud boxes).
Of course, if you're wedded to specific Mac software, then I'd imagine that an M1-based machine will be your only realistic option.
