I'm on my first M1 but even with intel I got 5 to 6 years out of the Macbook Air.


As a dev I was getting ~4 years out of Intel MBPs. The old ones still did the job well, but the new ones just did everything fast enough to justify the expense. Now I just realized I have over 3 years on my M1 MBP, and I realize I'm closer to the middle of my upgrade cycle than the end.


I'm compiling a lot of code, my hands got sweaty because of how hot the intel macbooks got.


External keyboard and a laptop stand would have helped.


at that point why am i using a laptop?


For portability between locations? :)


I assume to compile code at your desk like most laptop users? I don’t think all that many people today go out and about to compile code.
