My daughter has an M4.

So I'm very familiar with the new case, but I also have an M1 MacBook Air.

So like, I don't know if I would put it as a pro in either one.

If you like one case better than other, then be aware that there is that difference.

But I do kind of like the wedge in some ways.

Yeah, it's a little bit different.

The biggest difference is it's a 13-inch screen versus 13.6.

So if you can imagine what difference that would make in a case, it is slightly thicker, but not as long and not as wide.

Well, that's a thing that people worry about with the A18 Pro as well.

Like, obviously, it's a concern with the M1, especially since the M1 doesn't have, like, all, like, the more advanced neural engines and various other things and GPU cores and crap like that.

But people are worried already about the A18 Pro.

They're like, how long will macOS support M1?

the a18 pro because even though it is a newly introduced computer it is an older chip and it's not really designed to be a mac chip so like what does the longevity look like like not that it's going to ever get too slow but like is there going to be like two versions of mac os for now from now they're going to be like oh yeah you can't you know you can't use the a18 pro with that like i don't know that's kind of up to apple

how long they want to support this, but it is also a concern on the M1.

So the reason I think it's not a slam dunk, because like I said, the M1 is your used luxury car.

It's massively depreciated.

It's super old.

It's no longer state of the art, but when it was new, it had more nice stuff and it still does have more stuff.

I was kind of shocked when I looked this up that the Neo has one hour better battery life because I always think of the M1 as having amazing battery life, but these are just by Apple's measures.

I don't know how accurate they are.
