Three Years With My M1 MacBook Air
This thing is absofuckinglutely phenomenal. So much so that it's now my only computer. I sold my desktop around 2 years ago and the M1 has been my daily driver for all things ever since.
Question is, will I upgrade? Well, no. Not any time soon anyway. The M1 Air still does everything I need it to extremely well. So why upgrade? Why drop another £1,000 or so on the latest version of the Air? Because it looks a little nicer? Because it comes in blue? Because the chipset is 2 increments better? Nah, I'll stick with this workhorse until it dies.
Right now, 3 years in, I think my M1 Air is good value for money, but if I can get 5 or 6 years out of this thing, that would be fantastic.

Anyway, I digress...the M1 Air is a fantastic laptop and I'm so happy I bought it. I can't see myself moving away from the MacBook line any time soon.
Yes! I have one of those too. The same base model M1 MacBook Air 8GB 256SSD. I fucking love it!
It does everything I need from a computer and it does well. No need here for something newer, bigger, and faster. You can get one of these M1 MacBook Air base models at Walmart for $649.00. That's a steal!
