A couple of months ago, as I was getting ready to attend MWC, it dawned on me that my trusty seven-year-old Google Pixelbook (https://www.androidauthority.com/google-pixelbook-6-years-3360413/) was no longer the powerhouse I wanted to believe it was. It was getting slow and a little frustrating sometimes, especially when browsing dozens of pages at the same time; using web services and Chrome extensions instead of proper apps was getting old; and the battery life was in the unusable 1-2 hour range.

With a big sadness in my heart, I decided it was time to move on if I planned to do any serious on-the-go work. Ive been a Mac user since 2008, and I use an iMac as my desk machine, so I naturally gravitated to the MacBook Air lineup. The M3 model wasnt announced yet, so I got a temporary M2 unit to tide me over, then upgraded to the M3 MacBook Air once it became available. And although there are a few things I miss from my Pixelbook experience, I have zero regrets about this move.
