I really want an Apple Silicon version of this.

Want a mac with just one USB C port and the butterfly keyboard that would fail after a year?

No, “an Apple Silicon version of this”.

A very very low power Apple Silicon version of this that has a non-butterfly keyboard would slay.

The size and weight of this form factor is imo ideal for a daily carry portable computer. It’s an iPad with a keyboard, that runs a real OS.

+1, I'd actually buy that as an addition to my regular MBP.

What about the air? Its only an inch bigger.

I have a maxxed out 24G M2 Air that serves as my main portable (I also travel with a big 64G MBP). The inch matters a lot, and the Air’s screen edge is thicker, and it’s substantially heavier due to not having the terraced/tiered battery structure.

I still have a MacBook9,1 with kubuntu on it I use for certain things sometimes.

The small one really is so much more portable, even moreso than an iPad Pro with a keyboard cover (which is surprisingly dense).

It’s 320g/0.7lbs heavier.
