Apple introduces M4 chip
Still using my M1 Air and had no interest in updating to M3. Battery life has dropped a fair amount, but still like 8+ hours. That's going to be the trigger to get a new one. If only batteries lasted longer.

I don't think it costs that much to have the battery replaced compared to the price of a new laptop.

Curious how much it would cost. I think parts are on the order of $150? So maybe $4-500 for official repair?
If I can hold out another year or two, would probably end up just getting a new one

Oh no, it’s way less than that. It should be about $159. You can get an estimate here:
