Is the MacBook pro w/M1 CPU still recommended over a Windows laptop?

Hey All,

I am a Veteran who just got approved for the VA Vet-Tec program to go take an IT-based training program for IT cybersecurity. The program is designed for me to graduate with the knowledge to go take Comptia A+, Comptia Network+, Comptia Security+, Cisco CCNA, CEH, and CHFI afterward. The counselor mentioned I would need a laptop for the program and since I don't own a laptop I asked if there was anything specific in a laptop I should aim for or a recommended laptop. The counselor mentioned that most of the instructors recommend Apple Macbook laptops.

I did a quick search and found many recommend apple MacBooks due to the native support for Python and Unix, but since the newest MacBook is based on the new M1 CPU, I figured id ask if this is still the case and if there are any upgrades that would highly benefit me during my journey to my new career.
