Really need some help to buy a laptop

So, i'm undergoing Computer Engineering college, and I really need a laptop that can do some basic java and Matlab programming, can smoothly browse the web and can some basic gaming (older titles, indies...)

As of now, I'm between 2 laptops:

• Acer Swift AI 16" 3K Oled (750 USD)(Ultra 7 256v 16gb Ram, 1tb storage)

• MacBook Pro M1 Pro (850 USD)(16gb ram, 512gb storage)

• ASUS Vivobook S 15.6 inch 3K OLED (668 USD)(Ultra 7 155h, 16gb ram, 1tb storage)

I've heard that Acer have generally have some kind of problems with screen issues, overheating problems...

But for this price, is pretty hard to find any other laptop that offers the same cost benefit.

If any of you guys have any other laptop suggestions at the same price range, i'm all ears.
