Advice Request Apple MacBook Air: with Intel or M-1 chip

[enaph]

Hello fellow forum members!

I am about to buy MacBook Air however I cannot decide if I should go with Intel CPU or rather choose for Apple's M-1 chip?
I don't have plans to run Windows on MacBook so M-1 seems to be way better option mainly due to better overall performance.
What's your opinion guys?

I wouldn't add Intel Insecurity to a secure Mac.

M1 is hopefully more future proof and if I may believe the reviews much faster than the Intel ones. So i would go for the M1.

I would go for the M1. Apple really did a phenomenal job with their first chip in the series.

The only downsides for the M1 lineup so far that I've seen (besides not being able to run Windows) is:

• Multiple external display limitation
• No eGPU support

If those don't matter to you, then definitely go for the M1.

Note: SSD is not user upgradeable on the M1. Not sure how it is on the Intel versions though.

M1 without a doubt. It’s performance and power efficiency blow everything else out of the water. There are no good reasons to buy an Intel MacBook- its yesterday’s technology and you would very quickly regret that decision.

Thank you for your input fellas!
Watched couple of reviews on YT last night and ordered MacBook Air with M-1 chip.
