It's unclear why you chose the Air then. It's designed as a lightweight entry level portable for people with minimal requirements.

I didn't. It is a work machine.
I smashed my right arm to bits in early 2023. I was unable to use that hand for months. I asked for a machine which could take dictation. This is what I got.
And I have to admit, it's now my go-to machine for remote events, conferences and so on; it replaced my Planet Computers Gemini.
But actually working at a desk using the thing is not very pleasant. I regularly see MacBook fans praising the keyboard and the trackpad, but IMHO they are awful.
E.g. I am often told that macOS includes middle-click support, by people who don't know that their mouse has 3 buttons. The existence of this paid app:
https://middleclick.app/
And multiple generations of this FOSS alternative:
https://github.com/artginzburg/MiddleClick
... effectively falsify that.
