Only if it has 16GB and 512GB storage, but those are very rare in MY.  Best we can get is 8/256 or 8/512. M1 is good chip , but the ram will be a limiting factor.

Otherwise, not recommended. All the tasks you say, a 2nd hand Thinkpad can handle for 1/2 the price and better specs (R5/R7, 16/32GB Ram, 512GB/1TB SSD)

The other option I have seen on Laz/Shopee is

1. M2 16/1TB - May be good, but is already 3 years old at this point. Means can get support another ~3-4 years     
2. M3 24/512GB - Released in 2024. About RM500 cheaper than M4 air
3. M4 24/512GB - Released this year.

Need to wait for a good sale only can snipe.

But, M5 air maybe coming out next March. Then the price for M3 and M4 air will also drop a bit.

Strongly agreed. It all comes down to the price:performance ratio. If the price is really2 cheap then its another story. Otherwise in 2025, better get latest version. Better hardware and performance overall.
