MacBook Air or Nah? Founders Weigh In
Updated
•1 min readWhat started as a simple question about buying laptops for devs turned into a full-blown hardware review thread.
“MBA M1 still runs smooth for dev work.”
“Avoid Xiaomi, Lenovo > Xiaomi for longevity.”
“Mac Mini + ultrawide = best bang for the buck.”
Someone even dropped the Apple employee discount hack. Solid gold.
Real verdict? If you're doing basic dev or product work, the new MacBook Airs (especially with M3/M4) are underrated weapons. But if you're in ML, design, or need 32GB+ RAM invest accordingly
