For pure note taking would you recommend it?
Yes, because it really does feel like paper, and it's distraction free. It also seems high-end and feels great to use, especially with the more expensive cover. It should feel nice considering it's almost $700 with the cover and pen.
I can't comment too much on note taking in a professional context. I used it for journaling.
You can markup PDFs and export the PDF easily by email, and it does sync with a desktop app. Other than that, I don't think it's very "connected". I think you'd have to try it for your own use case. It was easy enough to return for full refund.

Well if the Kool-Aid consists of a 3 lb laptop with 18 hour battery life, that is sizzling fast yet puts out no heat, --send me all the Kool-Aid you got...

you just posted apple's marketing page as your gotcha.
"up to 18 hours"
on full eco-mode and brightness at 1% doing nothing but browsing facebook you might get 10.
i'll happily eat crow if anyone who buys one of these gets anything REMOTELY close to 18 hours of usage EL OH EL.
and just because they have a clever heat dissipation solution <> the processor doesn't generate heat but again, dat apple marketing page..

Battery Life
In addition to charting battery performance in some real world tests, I also ran a couple of dedicated battery tests. In some cases they ran so long I thought I had left it plugged in by mistake; it’s that good.
I ran a mixed web browsing and web video playback script that hit a series of pages, waited for 30 seconds and then moved on to simulate browsing. The M1 outperformed the other MacBooks by just over 25%. Those margins were far greater in our performance testing.
Results here are presented as hours:minutes.

This is a great color. In my opinion probably the best color of iPhone 12 released so far. Apple releasing this new purple shade also, to me, says to the people that love the mini: Don’t worry this will still be available for a while. But, conversely, it could be a sign that this version of the mini might be the only one we get for a while. Maybe I’m reading into it too much and this is a “because we could” thematic tie-in that offers a new option for spring buyers. Either way, it’s a really nice-looking phone that ties into the “millennial purple” (read: lilac) trend that is booming in design and fashion right now. Apple’s color theory team is always pretty well on trend, so no change here.
Apple has also released a nice purple silicone case that complements it well.

How bout Tom's Guide?

MacBook Air with M1 review: Battery Life
Advertisement
On the Tom's Guide web browsing battery test, the new MacBook Air lasted an epic 14 hours and 41 minutes.
Apple declared its M1 chip would enable all-day battery life, and the company has hit that mark. On the Tom's Guide battery test (web browsing at 150 nits), the new MacBook Air lasted an epic 14 hours and 41 minutes (while the new MacBook Pro hit 16:32) — times that beat both the ZenBook 13 (13:47) and XPS 13 (11:07).
And for those who just want to compare against the previous Intel Macs — they're left in the dust. The Intel MacBook Air (9:31) and MacBook Pro (10:21) times have now been beaten by 5 and 6 hours, respectively.

I bought a MacBook Pro yesterday. Best buy had an open box right at a grand. 13 screen. Chip is i5. 16 GB of ram and 512 GB ssid. I just need something lightweight that I can take w me. Just doing audio editing, surfing, and word processing.

I think they are (as I write this from a PC). In my opinion pcs are more susceptible to viruses and have more issues over time. From a professional standpoint, a lot of people that need to edit photos and videos prefer macs.

Are computer viruses still a thing?

I can't imagine using a laptop at 150 nits brightness in anything but a very dark room very close to the screen. quote:

That's actually a fair price and where they should be priced new with the hardware they use.
