I’ve been doing something similar with an old m2. It isn’t powerful enough for local models, well sufficient local models but for openclaw and Claude it’s been perfect.

MacBook m1/m2 also are cheap enough now vs an Mac mini which I was surprised about, not too surprised but yeah..

My setup is sort of reversed. The powerful machine (framework desktop) is my headless AI machine and M1 mbp is my daily driver. Works well!

I am sorry to report that 16GB+ MacBook Airs/MacBooks have become unreasonably expensive - probably from use cases like this.
