You're mostly "preaching to choir" in this forum! Wholeheartedly agree. You would be even happier with a 2017 maxed out pink 12" MacBook I had until recently.

I traded up to an M1 MBA 16/512 which is in a different league, but silent and fanless like the 12" MacBook.

Unless the small size is really, really important the M1 MBA is a no brainer upgrade.
But it's just not as cool as the 12 " and my base 2017 is almost as fast as the m1
 
I just bought this Macbook 12 2017 m3 CPU for $180 CAD (~$131 USD).

It came with the 29 watt charger but no usb c cable, so I stole a 2 meter usb c cable from the Apple Store and now everything works fine.

What do you think of the laptop?

Coming on MacRumors and bragging that you shoplifted from Apple is terrible.
 
oh yeah baby, i checked out the price of the cable, it is $35, what a rip off, this is why apple is a trillion dolla company and i am glad i got mine for free:
