I’m very close to making M1 officially supported in the course requirements, its actually somewhat difficult to get an Intel system these days. Intel systems will not be supported forever but M1 systems now still have their quirks. I will leave the investment question up to you as I think that is personal preference. I’ve been testing M1 systems in my class for about a year now and all is going well with this so I think it will be ok if you bring an M1 (versus Intel).

I'm looking at the base 8GB model - maybe 16GB if I absolutely need it.

Is virtualisation on a mac essential if I already have a Windows workstation? Could I get through the course/ real world forensics with a M1 mac?
