  • Reasons I use my M1 MacBook Air:

    1. Real estate. Thanks to AirPlay and the Thunderbolt port, I can have three desktops going at once with all my open windows.
    2. Intel binaries still run on it via Rosetta 2.
    3. Control – I have more access to the OS, the command line, etc.
    4. Virtualization – Apple Silicon is built on ARM, so I can virtualize any ARM-based Linux distribution using VMware Fusion. (I run Fedora in a VM.)
    5. Input – despite iPads having the ability to accept keyboard and touchpad input these days, the pointer is still pretty clumsy.

    And lots more, but that’s a good start for me.
