What’s the battery life like on your PC?
It sounds like the things you care about are raw performance per £, and other factors are not important.
If that’s what you are looking for then the Air is not for you, but it doesn’t mean it’s expensive. It just means you don’t need the things it offers for the money.
If you do care about battery life, then the M1 Air is cheaper than the only comparable alternative - the M1 MacBook Pro.
Nobody else even makes anything comparable.
- mhh__ 6y ago> What’s the battery life like on your PC? Actually not too bad - not good, but good enough for it to last long enough to write up lab data for 5 hours or so which is all I needed it to do. It's pretty diabolical in Linux, but I think that's partly my fault because I've not bothered to fettle with the power (not an unreasonable requirement given that the rest of the distro has been fiddled with)
- zepto 6y agoYeah - that’s an entirely different class of machine from the 15hr MacBook Air. If 5 hours will do for you, no need to spend the extra money.
