I don't really get this article at all. The M2 Air is a good, solid machine. Apple should be in the business of making good, solid machines. It doesn't matter how good this year's M3 Air is; I'm not going to buy it, because my year old M2 Air is great. In 5 or 6 years (or more) when I'm looking to replace my M2 Air with a M7 or M8 Air, hopefully that'll be a good, solid machine, too.
Laptops aren't fast fashion.
