In need of a laptop upgrade?

My 2020 MacBook Air M1 (8gb of RAM) has started to die off after over 6 uses of leisure use and a year or so of demanding Photoshop, Lightroom, and premiere work. I don’t do any crazy video work as photography is my main niche but have been upping my game as of lately and have been getting offered to do some paid work, so I want something reliable. I have been looking at the 2026 MacBook Air M5 24GB of RAM and I also came across the Lenovo IdeaPad 15.6” FHD Touchscreen Laptop, 40GB RAM 2.5TB Storage, 10-Cores Intel Core i5, but can’t find many reviews on it. Overall I prefer an Apple product since it’s what I’m used to, but am open to trying a different brand if it means it’ll suit me better. I am open to any suggestions!

Mirror getting stuck on Pentax K1000

I press the shutter once and it goes up, but then the second press gets the mirror down and the film roller works at the same time so I’m not sure what the verdict would be. My boss gave this to me for free and have no other issues with it, exposure meter works good, shutter wheel, shutter count all work. I don’t mind having to press the shutter twice for the picture to take but I wanna know if the pictures would even come out in the first place before I buy a roll of film.
