I have been using my M1-chip MacBook Air for over five years now. And even with there being newer and better Apple Silicon-equipped Macs coming out, how well does this M1 Air still hold up? Pretty good, actually, thanks to ordering it with 8-core graphics and 16 GB of RAM. I even had it sent to a specialist to have the original 512 GB SSD replaced with a 1 TB one, and that seemed to boost its performance even more!
