Outside of work provided computers, I've not been a Mac user for many years, but the M1 Macbook Air brought me back and it's been great. It's basically the laptop I've been waiting years for, silent with no moving parts and very little in the way of compromises(I don't personally have any need for super long running CPU intensive tasks). It's weird to see it compile code or encode video without fans ramping up, and even if does start to throttle toward the end of the longer tasks, it still beats my fairly recent i7 work MacBook Pro and my Ryzen 7 4700U Windows laptop most of the time.
