Is $700 for a Macbook Air M2 worthy?

Im in college now and looking for a new laptop cause my old one died. I just need basic coding, basic editing, canva and taking notes. I already got a PC at home so dont really want a heavy gaming lap. Im planning to buy an Air M2 (16-256gb). Is a macbook good for me or other Windows laptops?
P/s: Im not in the US so cant really use Best Buy or Amazon.
