As much as I would like to get one of those M1 Macs, this is exactly the reason why I will wait for the 2nd generation of their processors. My Intel MacBook runs rock solid and stable. Until the ARM Macs haven't reached that level of stability, I am not willing to make the switch.

Rule #1 on new mac hardware: wait til the 2nd generation!
Rule #1 on any new hardware, wait for 2nd gen. E.g. computers, cars, aircraft.

And by 2nd gen, I mean first update after a major redesign.

M1 Air here that runs rock solid and stable. OP is talking nonsense. They should get it replaced under warranty.
This might be the case for some users and basic use cases like surfing the web and text writing. But there are still a lot of issues for pro users and developers. If you rely on such a machine for your daily work, its not mature enough.
