I mostly use an M1 iPad Pro for personal use. I can get 90% of my personal work done on it, but not everything (e.g. I had to use my laptop for some tax filing work).

GitHub Codespaces works well enough to work on my blog but it’s not a replacement for the full dev environment I have on my laptop.

If you just had to pick one, I would go for the MacBook Air.
