People also sleep on the unified memory of apple silicon. If you get 16gb your GPU can use it. Your cou can use it. Your ML cores can use it.

I can run some large ai models on my air just because of the unified memory. And the ML cores are insanely fast.

My m1 Mac air was the first apple product Ive owned and I have to say, I've never had a better laptop. It's so well built, everything works with no driver issues, and iterm2 is one of the best terminal emulators out there.

You might run into a lot of driver issues if you try to run anything besides MacOS.
