Thank you for your suggestion, I just gave this a try, and it's almost there but there are still some rough edges. It needs to mature a little bit more.

Though this got me thinking a little bit, I have ordered a M1 Max 32GB which I have been waiting for over 5 months now. I am actually looking into getting the M1 air with 8GB as I think it will suffice for my Java development. I don't need to run VM's on that machine.

I'm gonna think about this through this weekend. I don't really need the firepower from the M1 Max as it has similar single core performance to the M1 air. And if this product matures, I will really not need that much RAM either.

You should definitely give the M1 MBA a try and return it if it doesn’t work well. Mine is only 8Gb RAM too, but I haven’t noticed paging slowdowns or any problems.
