The author highlights their satisfaction with their 2020 M1 MacBook Air, praising its performance for writing, streaming, photo editing, and extensive browsing. However, with the release of the M4 model, which is more powerful and comes with significant upgrades like a better display and more RAM, the appeal of the M1 diminishes. The M1 model, though still impressive, has been discontinued and while it has an iconic design, the advancements in the M4 make it a smarter choice for new buyers, especially given the current discount pricing at Best Buy.
If the MacBook Air M1 was still sold, I'd recommend it for those with similar processor needs. The wedge design is iconic.
Apple has been churning through chip iterations, and the improvements with the M4 make it more powerful than I’ll ever need.
