I switched to MacBook Air M1 from MBP 16 Intel a month ago, and

a) it still feels weirdly faster then the MBP

b) I can spend 6h outside working from the garden on one charge (running vitejs or react native + metro, plus slack, Spotify etc...)

c) I'm still a bit pissed that I didn't wait a month for the 2nd gen



Anything you miss from the 16?


Having ports on both sides of the machine. I use a usb-c display and need to flip the laptop upside down when docking. Otherwise my cables would get a bit messy or I’d have to rearrange my desk to avoid direct sunlight falling on the main screen.

Tbh, I have barely used the desk since I bought the machine, so we’ll see how much of an annoyance this will become in autumn:)


I have a M1 Pro 16 as a work machine and a personal M1 Air. The screen on the 16" is much better (higher refresh and brighter)


return it!
