> That said, I replaced a $2000 iMac 4K with a base model Macbook Air and it was a huge upgrade for my day to day work. Essentially the same here, I just happened to replace my $2-3k Win10/Ubuntu desktop with my 8GB(!) M1 Air and it truly has been a huge upgrade for my day to day work. It feels like I'm working in the future. That said - I primarily use this Air to ssh to all of my servers that do my heavy lifting for me. But that doesn't stop me from driving this thing hard - dozens of open tabs, multiple heavyweight apps left open (e.g. Office apps), multiple instances of VS Code, Slack, Teams, all running - zero slowdown. Zero fan sound. It's black magic good.
