Macbook Air
I've typically turned my nose up at all things Walled Garden (tm), but I've had the need to deploy software via XCode recently and broke down and bought a Mac Air M4 at the risk of @dstraussing myself.
I have to say, it's pretty impressive hardware, very lightweight, long battery life, I charge it with the same 30W charger block for my Fold. It's, shall I even say, a delight to use?!
I still hate Finder though... and there some things I still mechanically fumble with on the OS (i.e. "why can't I figure out how to copy this screenshot image and paste it into my presentation??!!??")

👍👍 for Finder hatred. It works a little better if you use column view so you can see your path back a little better, but I never thought I'd find a file manager even weaker than File Explorer. I got my M4 MBP (base M4, 16gb/1tb) on a great bargain at Best Buy over a year ago ($1599 - well, great bargain by Apple standards) but the MBA design, weight, and dimensions are a dream in comparison...until I look at the screens and ports. The miniLED on the MBP is NOT a marketing ploy - it is gorgeous and extremely bright, and having 3 TB ports, HDMI, and SD card port (with a small adapter can use a mSDXC 1tb card for "slow storage"), it just offer a lot of bang for the buck, or is that extra pound, you carry.
