AMD's 5nm chips compete with and outperform the M1, low end laptops ship with 16GB of media by default, 8-10h of battery life is good enough for most people and Dell XPS laptops, for example, weigh 1.17kg, which is less than the M1 Air.
- mrtksn 4y agoCan you give me a link to such a device? Sub 1000 laptop with 10H battery life, lighter and smaller than Air, higher performance than M1 sounds good. I wonder why people buy those about Air heavy, about Air performing premium and expensive laptops then.
- heavyset_go 4y agoGrabbed a Dev On on sale for $500 and I'm very happy with it.
- mrtksn 4y agoGood for you, what's this "Dev" laptop exactly?

- mrtksn 4y agoThat's significantly slower machine than M1 Air. The screen is much worse, the actual battery life appears to be half of the M1 Air and there are all kind of other things like the sound quality or the trackpad that fall pretty short. I'm glad you are happy with it, for 500 bucks seems like a fair deal, but this is nothing like Macbook Air.
- windowsrookie 4y agoThe M1 MacBook Air lasts over 12 hours on battery and runs silently and cool while being fanless. I purchased mine new on sale for $750. Where is this magical laptop that beats the M1 Air?
