Re:Apple's M4 Max chip is the fastest single-core performer ... by grahamj on Saturday November 02, 2024 @12:01AM (#42023978)
I was the same with the M1 Air until a couple months ago when I decided I wanted more screen real estate. That plus the 120Hz miniLED and better battery and sound make the 16" a great upgrade as long as the size and weight aren't an issue. I just use it at home so it's fine but the Air really is remarkable for portability.

I have the M1 Air, too. I just plug in to a nice big Thunderbolt display when I need more screen!

I'll likely upgrade to the M4 Air when it comes out. The M4 MacBook Pro is tempting, but I value portability and they're just so chunky and heavy compared to the Air.
