M1 MacBook Air sufficient for my needs? (Digital art).

Does anyone know if the Air should be enough to run Clip Studio Paint while listening to some YouTube videos without running too hot? My current model (an old 13" 2015) gets kind of toasty while I'm doing these things together.

I saw Clip Studio should run natively on the M1, which is great. But I'd like some insight, if possible.

Should I go with the Pro instead? This is probably the most demanding work I'll use the laptop for. (Digital art while listening to podcasts and maybe music through YouTube).

The Air should breeze through that, especially if the app is optimized for M1

Thanks for the reply!

And that's reassuring to hear. I finally know what I'm going to be buying.
