it's obscenely expensive but I am wondering about buying a maxed-out M1 MacBook Air. it would make my life easier…
pros:
• oh my god i'd finally have enough disk space again
• compiling things might not take forever
• hell yeah aarch64
cons:
• oh god am i ready to take the plunge into a non-x86 world
• digging myself even deeper into apple's ecosystem oh no
thing is, I'll outgrow the storage again and then I'll need an even more obscenely expensive upgrade at some point down the road, so maybe I need a better storage strategy
also, man, as fast as the M1 is, it's probably not faster than my Ryzen box…
it would be nice if I could have just a single computer that does all the computer things but unfortunately I like this thing called video games
does anyone have the scoop on whether Apple will stop selling the M1 MacBook Air this evening
@hikari unlikely, they keep selling things until they run out of inventory;
i would wait to see if they have same kinda specs on M2
@dym I think if you choose to customise the specs, it's made to order, but there must be some kind of inventory behind that too
@hikari anyways, its too late now,
«We’re making updates to the Apple Store. Check back soon.»
gotta wait 10 hours
@dym rip
@hikari FYI: Be aware that the M1 (non Pro/Max) just has a single display output. No dual monitor support.
