I bought an M4 Air about a year ago for under 1000$, it beat out my 2019 Intel MBP by quite a lot.

I fully expect the air to last me at least another 6 years or so for my use case. The thing is a beast.

Compare this to a Dell laptop I bought when I started college, that thing was 850 dollars and died on me within 3 years. For Apple, I could justify spending more (maybe even 20% more) considering both Apple computers I’ve had feel extremely fast. The only reason I dropped the 2019 MBP was battery fatigue (and I probably could have repaired it for 100$ and gotten another 3-4 years out of it. But the new air was just too attractive).
