I’d cut my balls before giving any kind of money to Apple. If you really need a new laptop (debatable, se my reply to you comment above), you may just get a well specced Thinkpad with at least 16 GB RAM (new or 2nd hand), install Linux of it and use Windows in a VM with virt-manager.
Which CPU is that? Mine is and i5-8250U and can virtualize Windows in a decent manner.
