The machine you linked has an i5 dual-core CPU, absolutely not enough for nowadays tasks.
Between them, go for the M1 octa-core.

Go for the M1. The i5 is old technology and you will soon fill up that small 128GB hard drive.

As someone who had an i5 Air with 128GB hard drive, I would definitely go for the M1 if you can swing it. I have an M1 Mini, and there is a significant performance difference between the two.

Definitely get the M1 over the Intel model.
