The following is my review on Amazon.com of the M1 MacBook Air: This is a landmark model, a classic, a perfect machine. I've been using the 2020 M1 MacBook Air base model (8 GB Ram, 256 GB HD) for almost 3 years now as a daily driver. I'm a software engineer and I use it to do web development, often with a single large external monitor. I have the base model and it holds up find to running multiple docker containers and my terminal and a couple dozen browser tabs and my editor and all the basic tools of software development. The design is particularly sleek and minimalist, even as MacBooks go. It has everything it needs and nothing it doesn't. And it is solidly built. I dropped my MacBook on a concrete floor at an airport from about shoulder height (I was holding it by squeezing it with my armpit while trying to pack up after going through security and it slipped) and it took a pretty good solid hit directly on the corner -- I have a small dent there in the aluminum that you would have to look pretty close to see, and other than that everything was fine. The battery lasts for so long that I often go a day or two without even thinking about where my charger is. It is very light, it has a fingerprint reader that works perfectly, and everything about it just seems functional and elegant. Also, it's super fast and snappy. I think this will go down in history as a landmark model. Apple did a particularly good job with this machine and I believe it will stand the test of time. This is a machine that a person could use for a decade. It's really nice and really well put together and well integrated as an overall package.
