I was going to wait but then earlier this week my really old macbook stopped working completely. I need it for ios dev (the rest of my work is fine under linux; x220/ubuntu/i3wm) so I ordered an mb air m1. I thought the hype was mac fans being crazy but I stand corrected: it is an absolute marvel. I have the cheapest one (it was a special offer from some big chain here: cheaper than via Apple) and using it as I do, it seems to not break a sweat. The past few days I have done everything on it that I normally do one 2 laptops and still it remains fast, enough mem and actually too cold for my hands to work on.

I would buy it now if I were you; probably you can sell it off for a good price anyway when the new one arrives.

When I switched to my M1, I noticed that my hands were always cold -- it's because there was no heat coming off it. My 2018 MBA and Dell Latitude had done a good job of keeping my hands warm, but the M1 just doesn't do a good job warming up my hands.

Yes, but a laptop not getting warm I cannot see as too much of a negative!
