A lot of people have made the point that the m1 was too successful.
Even today, the m1 macbook air feels like a pretty good buy, taking into account the discount you can get on them.
Probably doesn't make a huge difference to Apples bottom line, though.

- eyelidlessness 3y agoWhat’s wild (to me) is how much the iPad has gradually grown in its proportion of the pie, especially as the pie itself grew. I know some people use it as their primary device, but it’s always felt intuitively niche to me despite knowing that. But the sales paint a very different picture, with iPads barely trailing Macs.
- lotsofpulp 3y ago>Probably doesn't make a huge difference to Apples bottom line, though. Why not? I imagine people using macOS are likelier to use iPhones. And then AirPods. And then Apple Watches. And monthly recurring revenue like Apple One bundles or iCloud Drive. Having an additional entry point other than iPhone and iPad into the ecosystem must be very beneficial, especially when it is as no brainer as an M1 MacBook Air for so many people's use case.

- wslh 3y agoYes, personally M1 MacBook Air (8 GB of RAM!) is just great except, minimally, for the limitation on the number of external monitors. Using also a more powerful MacBook Pro (64 GB) with multiple external monitors but subpar in battery duration and portability comfort beyond the specs mentioned in the official Apple page. BTW, Today I experienced a "Your system has run out of application memory" [1] in the Pro with the same usage that I give to the Air. Have not time to investigate further.
