Yeah me too; I bought it to replace a 2013 MBP. Its so light, the battery life is rediculous, and its far gruntier than I need for the work I do which is mostly in a shell / nvim etc anyway.
Heh, well yes i’m sure they would have rather I didn’t hang on to my last one for 10 years; in fact its still going too - like i’d done with the last two macbooks i’d owned it went as a hand me down to my father who just uses it for email & web browsing. I’m hoping the Air will be around a similar amount of time - it will probably come down to battery & flash degradation over time I suspect.
Ah well that was just me replacing my personal laptop, so the 10 year old machine had been outperforming my 3 different work laptops (typically Lenovo, running Windows, refreshed every couple of years) all the way up until I got the Air.
I’ve been really happy with my m1 air.

I have 15" M2 Air, and honestly, this laptop will last me for longer than Apple will want it to. An absolutely astonishing bit of engineering.

Well the comparison to a now 10 year old machine is also not quite apples to apples.
