Anyone do full time web dev work on an Air?

#332This looks like what the Macbook (2015) wanted to be. Keyboard and single port aside, it was a fantastic form factor, albeit crushingly slow. Mine no longer holds a charge, and am eagerly awaiting replacing it with one of these.

That should be trivial to fix with a battery update. 5-6-7 years is a good run...

#334It's unfortunate that the base price is $1200. I don't see myself recommending this to friends when the M1 Air starts at $1000 and is so similarly spec'd.
20% inflation-adjusted. What i don't like is its 224ppi resolution, instead of pro's 254ppi

Really? Did you bother checking the dictionary?
supercharged /ˈsuːpətʃɑːdʒd/ Learn to pronounce adjective 1. (of an internal combustion engine) fitted with a supercharger. "a supercharged 3.8-litre V6"
2. extremely powerful or fast. "it's essentially a cutting-edge smartphone with a supercharged camera"

#337I don't understand why the new M2 MacBook Pro with Touch Bar exists. Looks like it adds active cooling but keeps an old design? Is it for generalists who don't want the 14"? Who is it for?
It's for Apple to offload old parts.

I was a full time web dev on a 2011 Air with 4 GB, so this one should be good :).

Thank you for the feedback.
I am working on a beat up old Inspiron… I gotta think an Air can handle the work.
