To get disk access on par with M1 you need to pay $200 to upgrade to 512gb ($799 or $699)

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank CaptainTerra
But that little kiosk says Sold Out for the M1 (I assume because it's checking the online site).
But you need to talk to a store employee to see if the item number 1486314 is in stock (or 1486316 for the 512gb model $599) .

*if you already have an external display, keyboard, and mouse.
I echo many others sentiments. Apple silicon is objectively the best way to experience OSX these days. It's one of the few situations where the vertical integration benefitted the user... Apple forced ARM support by changing their whole hardware portfolio wholesale. It doesn't hurt that their translator for x86 apps is quite quick.
I still have a hackintosh haswell rig running High Sierra. It has no issues, but I expect updates to eventually break the setup...and when it breaks... Its near impossible to fix without spending hours on tonymacx86 forums to find Hopefully one other person who fixed your exact problem. All the rig does now is serve as an Imessage and torrent server.
I used to prefer OSX for mundane work tasks where stability was more important than speed. The UI had never turned me on. But I've not had a crash in well over two years in my thinkpad running windows 10 workstation,within any app or the os itself. I installed some cheap ECC memory from ebay recently so I expect even more stability on my xeon (for that one time a year where you get a bit-flip error).
Both M1 and M2 MacBook Air/Pro can support one external display.
