Also, would you love to see 120hz come to MacBook Air?

For sure not that alone, but I think you can get a good bit of energy saving by slowing down refresh rate significantly - while always on display wouldn’t bring much to a laptop probably. High refresh rate by scrolling or using the OS is for me unnoticeable: on my iPhone, external 60Hz Mac display or IPad, could not say which is which (in terms of “scrolling smoothness”, probably what you are referring to).

For sure, as a mobile device, limiting the refresh rate to 60hz could make some sense as battery is the most impoetant thing of all or else we would just use desktops. That being said, MacBook battery life is so good that it makes sense to lose a little for a smoother screen.

That being said, the 120hz on the pro models comes with variable refresh rate which can save more battery than constant 60 anyways, so you're right about that
