I just upgraded to the M1 Air. I was on a 2011 MBP, but I started having so many issues with it being deprecated and out-of-support that I finally caved. I also thought about waiting for the M2, but honestly who knows when that will launch, and what those laptops will look like. The M1 outperforms far beyond my expectations, and has some serious benchmarks that made me realize that I didn’t make a bad decision in pulling the trigger on it.

I think I wanted to wait for the M2 because I had FOMO for the next generation, while also thinking that the M1 was gonna have a bunch of weird bugs. If anything there are known limitations (like with external displays and booting from external drives), but I don’t really fall in those categories so I was okay with it.

If I were you, as long as you’re not in a rush to upgrade, just wait and see what the M2 is like. If you can’t wait, know that you’ll be in excellent shape with the M1.
