If you're OK with 30 minute battery life and your CPU fan running at max decibels when trying to open a single email...

Strawman. Most mid-range ($700-1200) PC laptops are just fine nowadays.

Yes, yikes.. Was forced to get an M1 Air for a trip just last week. This smarts.. But the M1 already blew me away, so I think I'll hang onto it

You can still return it

I wish, but consumer laws where I live allows Apple (and all other merchants) to refuse returns from day one unless it's a technical problem
