As someone who owns the M1 MBA, the 8GB unified memory thing isn't working. It can work for bloggers who only need to have some light tasks open, but once you install and use Docker, you start hitting the swap.

Just in the last ~24 hours, where I used the device for ~16 of those hours, the kernel task has written almost 800GB to disk.

I'm assuming that the storage isn't replaceable, so this raises questions of the longevity of the device due to SSD wear and tear.

The iMac looks beautifully thin though. I would def buy it as a desktop (as someone who has a 64GB Ryzen 9)
