I ordered the recently updated MacBook Air for my wife yesterday. Her old one is over five years old and she uses it a lot, so it seemed like a no-brainer refresh.

If it was for me, I would wait for the Apple Silicon. I use a three year old MacBook, love it, and I was happy to hear that Apple may start selling that form factor again with Apple Silicon.

I do most of my development on a remote VPS that is much more powerful than my MacBook but I still do sometimes use IDEs so an iPad Pro or ChromeBook won't do it for me. I also have a System76 Linux laptop that is great.
