A:AnswerYes, the Mac comes with softwares built-in that are compatible with almost all of the most commonly used everyday file formats -- i.e. PDF, docx, xlsx, pptx, jpg, png, etc.
The only limitations that come immediately to mind would be if you use certain Office apps like Microsoft Access or Microsoft Publisher (as these are not available on Mac, natively, but can be run thru virtualization using software like Parallels Desktop for Mac). Hard drives that were formatted for Windows can be read on Mac (meaning you can open any of the files) but if you make changes to the files you may need to save them onto your Mac for those changes to stick.

NTFS (the default for Windows) you can get to work on a Mac with third-party software.

I’d say this is the best value for money Mac deal for casual users
A:AnswerIt does not have built-in LTE, but can be used with an external hotspot or your iPhone or other-bluetooth-enabled phone's personal hotspot feature.
A:AnswerI believe this model was new in 2020. The M2 machines are now the latest and greatest but many reviews have suggested that the M1 might be the Best Buy if you’re considering a basic model as I did. The M1 is definitely a much capable more machine than needed for just basic things that I use it for
