Thinking about getting a macbook pro m5

I got to try one of these devices out while setting one up for work. Now I want one for myself with how smooth it works as my daily driving device. I do have two thinkpads a t450 with linux and a t14 gen 6 with windows but I want to start moving away from windows and use linux but considering mac. I am currently a CS student that is not interested in ML but interested in systems engineering and Networking + cybersec. Is this laptop worth getting? Because I keep going back and forth about it and I think I need reality check.

MBP specs I am considering
