Apple's M1 MacBook Air remains one of the best ultraportable laptops - and it's hit a historic low price. Here's the digitalfoundry take:
Since switching from Intel chips to its own Apple Silicon, MacBooks have improved massively, with better performance and way better battery life. The first model to ship with one of these chips was the M1 MacBook Air, and despite debuting two years ago it remains one of the best ultraportable laptops on the market, as the recent M2 successors provide only modest advantages at a significantly higher price.
In addition, this MacBook Air is also fanless, so won't be making any noise under load, and provides an excellent quality display, too. It features one of Apple's Retina displays, and provides a 2560x1600 resolution with solid coverage of the more specialist DCI-P3 colour gamut, which is arguably vital for content creation work such as video editing on Final Cut Pro, for instance.
This is the base level spec, with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage - but thankfully, the efficiency of the M1 chip makes this configuration surprisingly workable. However, you will need to rely on external storage or cloud storage for more intensive tasks such as video editing, as you won't have the space for large video project files on-board.
