I now have the M1 MB Air and there is so much silence in my studio, that the quiet hiss from my monitor’s tweeters is very noticeable.
The only thing that still really bothered me was the fan noise, which was horrible, and with it, the CPU throttling under heavy loads. While the speed was not comparable to the PC, the no nonsense approach to all the different interfaces and gear I used, that just worked with MIDI and Audio class compliancy, and the sheer fact that the integrated souncard’s latency is already so good, is just worth it in my opinion. After seeing what music apps can do on iOS, I got myself an iPad pro. I used to be a PC guy, but then slowly went into the Apple ecosystem starting with the iPhone.
