The M1 MacBook air has been on sale for $799 several times.
"shitty hardware" ???
I am not aware of any PC laptop that comes close to the build quality of a MacBook Air for less.
"SSD soldered to motherboard, bad cooling, no touchscreen, broken keyboard, no way to replace battery..."
SSD soldered: It is a bit disappointing, but Apple ships the fastest SSD's in the industry.
Bad cooling: The MacBook air is passively cooled and nobody ever has complained about the M1 Air's cooling.
No touchscreen: I don't care about this.
Broken keyboard: Not an issue on the 2020+ MacBooks
Battery: The MacBook air has best in class battery life. iFixit sells replacement batteries for older MacBooks, It is likely they will sell replacement batteries for the M1 Airs as well.

- throw93232 4y agoIf laptop breaks, I just swap SSD into spare machine. With mac I have to wait days maybe weeks for SSD desoldering and fix. Sorry it is a toy! If Apple can not invest $2 into connector, there is no build quality!
