Anecdotes don't really cut it though. I see MacBook Airs all the time, even had a MBA M1 that I handed down to my partner when I got a MBP M3, she uses it both personally and professionally. Two other friends have MBAs, a third just bought one yesterday.

At cafés in Stockholm I'd say 50% of the laptops I see people working with are a version of the MBA. At local universities it's an even higher percentage.
