I'm on the M2 MacBook Air, and it's pretty incredible. It runs cool, it's as fast as I could possibly want for daily tasks (I'm not doing video encoding or anything), and it's tiny. It's barely bigger than my iPad.
It's far faster than my top-end Intel MBP was. I haven't seen it struggle with anything yet.
I've found that where I used to take my iPad to do things (on the couch, in the car, etc.), now I take the MBA, because I might as well have my full computer setup. I've found I'm using my iPad a lot less overall.
I've been using Mac laptops since 2005, and it's easily the best I've ever had.
It's actually annoying that the MBPs are so much bigger and heavier for so little of an improvement in real-world usage (for non-gaming, non-video-editing tasks). They seem last-gen in comparison.
