I haven't posted about M1 Macbooks in a while. Feels like I have a whole new cohort of followers who haven't been lectured to.
Buy an M1 Macbook Air. It's like the end of history computer.

If you love your Air and haven't done the thermal pad mod, check it out. No more throttling during big builds.

It only throttles if you max out all cores for more than a couple of minutes and the CPU is holding at 100C. Without mod the case stays cool but CPU throttles, with mod case gets hot but CPU has space to run. Zero benefit if you don't hit CPU that hard tho.
