Hi , just asking for some insight .
Is the Macbook Air M1 really worth the hype ? Currently using a surface pro7 as my portable device . So far the pro7 has been OK , but definitely didn't reach my expectations and the battery life is quite abysmal as far as 2in1 laptops go. Not to mention how bad tablet mode is for windows10. Intel portable chips just suck , It throttles way too much as soon as I open heavy programs like resolve and adobe apps.
A part of me had me thinking of just selling the pro7 to get the MB Air .
So can I ask from current owners , how is it? Has the display been good for you so far ? How's the performance ? Seeing the videos of M1s performance definitely got me hyped.
Do you think its really worth it to drop the stylus support and tablet mode as well as x64 and windows exe. programs for it? Might consider just getting the usual 'conservative' laptop experience if the m1 is truly as exceptional as what people deem it to be.
Thanks in advance!
I am a Surface Pro 7 (1 year old) user who has just purchased a MBP M1. I am keeping both for now as I think they are different beasts, if u cannot live without the pen support then keep the SP7, or at least sell the SP7 and get the MBA + used ipadIs the Macbook Air M1 really worth the hype ?

SP7 is a decent laptop but a terrible tablet. but it is a usable tablet, that can also run full windows apps which can come in handy. I mostly use for taking down notes or just watching movies on bed/couch. I do agree with the part about battery life. its dog shit.
M1 MBP/MBA is an excellent laptop and has has a much better battery life, but obviously cannot do tablet things. In terms of performance of productivity apps such as adobe, xcode etc will handle most tasks like a piece of cake i guess.
