Or is Apple going to make this thing not useable in 3 years? Is it too old to get now in hopes it’ll run very well for the next 5 years?

Apples will run without issues for quite a while, even with updates.

I've had an M1 Air for almost 3 years and it still runs great. I'd say it's still a buy for the right price.

you'll be fine. Hell, I'm running a macbook pro with an i5 chips and 16 gb ram. Runs great.

No worries all. Apple ain't about to obsolete an M1 chip machine for years and years.

It's still relevant and will be for a few more years.

The base model (8/256) is on sale for $750 at Amazon and Best Buy.

I'd get the M2. Can be had for $899 this week I believe. Won't see a big boost from the M1 but has the newer modern design. Would appreciate if keeping longer than a few years.

I picked up the base M2 Air a couple months back, it's a great little machine with excellent battery life.

It's still ahead of its time imo. If you're not a power user, it's a great deal ATM.
