I still use a little M1 Air as a daily driver, but I have some of the newer hardware for work, and now I want to upgrade to that stuff. The newer Apple Silicon is kind of nutty.
Still though, for a 6-year-old machine, it’s still perfectly fine for day-to-day stuff. I only notice the crunch when I throw some of my processor intensive software development toys at it. The latest dev beta of MacOS 27 even runs great on it.
Apple does a lot of shitty stuff, but their silicon game has been solid.
























Yeah, I also only have 8 gig in mine. I used to run into problems when I had multiple accounts running, with each accounts actively running Adobe apps, Figma, IDEs. That ‘lil fella couldn’t take that lol.
The Macs with 16gig can handle that abuse with no problem. 8 gigs, not so much. Lol.
