Or, use code 1G0TV05XXHG6 on Liene's official website for 10% off: https://liene-life.com/1Skxfn I bought every single generation of the Apple silicon MacBook Air and compared them in everything from CPU performance, coding, Adobe workflows, blender, gaming, battery life, and even thermal performance.
