I'd love to see a 12" MacBook with Apple Silicon, 2 ports and ? MagSafe. My own 1st Gen 2015 12" rMB has had some issues over the years; faster than expected battery depletion (hot Intel CPU), KB jammed a few times (blew out the dust) & polished up fast, display delamination & loose USB C port. That said the formfactor was perfect for a business portable.
A new 12" with M1 etc, good & reliable keyboard and other issues rectified would be a very strong buy for me, more so than the Air. I bought the 512 model, very far from a powerhouse yet it paid for itself hundred's fold. Still runs on 11.5.1, but not aged well as the Intel CPU M5 struggles with load & temp. People knock the 12" Retina MacBook, yet for the right needs they were a killer solution. I know, as I used one in anger ?
