I've had one since last November..
I finally realized I use it more like a Kindle. Unfortunately I'm busy and I'm almost always on my work MBP (Intel) so my usage of the M1 is light.
But we have a Surface Pro (i5) that gets the same style of "light" usage. The difference with the M1 is crazy. I don't bother to plug it in very often. It uses so little battery in light usage that it doesn't drain much, then it's suspend logic is so well done that it doesn't lose much for days and days sitting there. The Surface Pro goes right back on the charger pretty much immediately when you're done with it by comparison, cause you can't trust it's going to have battery if you don't, and when you use it even for something light it burns through lots of battery by comparison. My i7 MBP for work of course chugs down battery at an incredible velocity compared to both, but it gets harder usage.
So in effect it gets treated like a kindle, I plug it in every week or two. That's very new, and it seems weird and took adjustment.
