While I love my macbook air how sleek it has, how fast and power efficient it is.
My main problem is they use ARM architecture unlike most servers, cloud , and traditional developer laptops which use x86 (Intel/AMD). They have crazy performance per watt and have insane durability. They are common in mobile phones and even in laptops are perfect for compiling code running containers, or multitasking. But the problem is compatibility.. I recently started learning cybersecurity just upskilling myself and learning new stuff
And OMG it has been so fucking frustrating. VMs, and security tools are built for x86 so they either run slower under emulation (Rosetta 2) or break completely. In Metasploit certain VPN clients completely fail and behave very weirdly. Makes me want throw my laptop on ground it is really that frustrating
