Last years iphone soc in a laptop form factor. It’s interesting that the unified os 26 branding wasnt just for show.
Unfortunately this is a really good idea.

Did they really just release a macbook air and just take out the notch? Capitalist ingenuity never ceases to amaze. Make your user complaints another product line.
I'm happy chugging along with my used macbook m1 using asahi Linux.
Mac product pages are like peering into a funny little mirror world where people buy hardware based on software features.
As a longtime Mac user, my only hope is that this will bring down the cost of used PC laptops. Because I really need a portable machine for Linux.
Have you tried the Framework laptops? Speccing a DIY option gets you pretty close in price.
and you have to use sub atomic units to measure battery life
No but I am definitely considering it!
MacBook and Linux is not a happy combo tho, right? At least with apple silicon?
Nah. I have an older MacBook pro running Linux as a home server and it works great. Asahi Linux only works up to M2 Macs and even then the usage is limited.
Is it an Intel MacBook?
may I ask how you're using it?
my "homeserver" is currently just a samba share on a raspberry pi with a big usb HDD, wired into my router.
you could get a refurbished m1 air for half the price and similar specs
