is it underpowered? i'm pretty sure that a-chip variant is binned way faster than the m1 air i had and that thing was a paradigm shift little workstation in a backpack when it came out in 2020 that somehow had no fan and got all day battery. i was compiling faster on that then i could on the actual workstation i was provisioned for work, so im gonna guess there aren't laptops at this price point that put this kind of horsepower down? there's quite a few trade offs getting this over an air but i doubt it's an underpowered device at its price point
