I’m seriously tempted to sell my 2020 MBA and pick up an M1 😬Haha and I bet you grudgingly agreed!
Nearly found myself getting a 13” MBP but sense kicked in and though it too soon to replace my 2019 model![]()
I replaced my 2012 MBA earlier this year after it finally decided to give up. I ended up cooking the logic board in the oven to help reseat the soldier which gave it another month of life!If you have fairly recent machines it doesn’t make sense.
I use my msi laptop for most stuff, Arch for personal and a Windows VM for specific stuff needed at uni which gets replaced with a fresh VM at the start of every new module.
The wife is limping along on a 2012 MacBook Air, its microphone no longer works and it seems to have compatibility issues with the 2nd gen AirPods I bought her a few weeks ago. Plus when using Teams it ramps up the fan to crazy levels, even with new thermal paste and a new fan.
I think she’s definitely in need something new and would really love the fanless design of the new Air 😂
My 2020 model is a great upgrade with the retina screen and Touch ID although the fans and heat does kick in for anything mildly taxing.
