I have switched to that for my personal machine too, and it's honestly pretty good. Still working out some kinks but overall I think it's a good idea.

I am on an m3 air though, which is not necessarily a weak machine and can still hold it's own in no-network areas for light work.

my requirements is "any macbook with apple silicon (M1/2/3/4/etc) with at least 16GB of RAM (and 256GB of ssd)". I'm still rocking an M1 16GB for my personal stuff since 2022. No complaints.

Do you often trim the fat so to speak with that amount of space on your work machine? I had a 1TB on the previous one, and ended up using more than half of that with just projects.

The thin Air laptops with an ARM chip are so good for this stuff, how long does the battery last?
