I find comments like these more telling of flawed workflows and not of the device. For comparison's sake, we just rolled out ~100 of these in my department and the reception has been nothing less than stellar.
Did you view the links? There are core problems with Bluetooth, Wifi 6, and security of the device (not workflow). I don't think my workflow is flawed, here's what it produces: https://github.com/niftylettuce
I think we really need a break from people submitting more M1 Mac unboxing articles, unless there's significant original technical content. This is turning into fanboyism.
Best color ever.

The 256 is too small for me, I edit videos sometimes. $200+ to upgrade the internal drive. I'm hoping the 14 inch will come with a larger internal drive, and more upgrades.
Samsung has quite cheap high speed external SSDs the T5 is like $150 for the 1TB drives now. USB type C Gen 2 10gig is fast enough for most video editing especially any editing you could do on a device like the M1. Personally if I was editing videos I would be using an external storage device both due to the capacity and the fact that my data is then portable. With the full disk encryption on the M1 I wouldn’t be sto…

Blatantly false assertion. No touch design changes in Big Sur, confirmed by Hair Force One.
The following explains and illustrates the problems with macOS and how they've shoehorned design changes that do not belong to Desktop environments. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXG5REBi2fo
Again, there is no evidence any Big Sur UI changes were to support touch screens. Bigger button areas make computers easier to use, just as bigger tap areas make mobile devices easier to use.
I am no Apple fanatic. I'm a die-hard Linux user and open source proponent. I wouldn't touch the M1 with a thirty-nine and a half foot pole. But with all that said... I kind of like articles like these. I enjoy seeing people happy with good tech because I like good tech. It pleases me that there are people getting this much enjoyment out of innovative and (I'll admit it) quite impressive hardware. So rock on, Apple f…
I hope you get to experience that! My worst computer recently has been a Thinkpad running Linux, basic things like suspending the laptop when it closes just never work properly. But I'm sure the year of Linux on the desktop will come one day.

I'm reluctant to buy it because of ports, and tiny amount of drive space. Waiting for the 14 inch, hoping for more ports, larger base hard drive, and new design for similar cost of upgrading the air.

Well at least on Linux someone has a chance at debugging the problem and devising a solution.
The answer is probably because to make things like sleep on lid close work, you’re probably going to need to know more about the hardware than manufacturers are going to make public.
I had limited experience and use of macOS, but didn't like it much.
I bought the Air last month under duress, because I was going to a place that's 10°C warmer than my home, and my laptop's GPU passes the idle quiet threshold. I have tinnitus, so the laptop fan noise becomes unbearable.
I'm enjoying using the Mac, I mainly develop in Rust, so the experience has been mostly good. I've had a few hard crashes of other software that restarted the machine, that's fine though.
I still mainly remote into my beefy Windows desktop in the other room, but I haven't needed to turn on my work laptop as Microsoft also updated Office to work on Arm64.
I didn't know about Parallels, I'll try it out, as sometimes I can't remote into my desktop conveniently.
