I had the same popup today on my MBP. Anyone know how to turn off these "get to know your mac" notifications?

Same issue for me this morning. I recently got the M1 Mac mini, but this notification (for the Air), showed up both on my M1 Mac min, and (I think!) on my 2014 Mac mini!

Same here on my 2013 MBP. I also think Apple has cranked up the fan and spinning beach balls too?. Inducing me to buy a new MBP. But I'm holding out for at least a 14" if not 16" and that would be a second gen.

Clicking leads to this page: "Your MacBook Air…" Maybe Apple is going to put in a new chip in my computer ?. One can hope.

Same notification on my unsupported retina MBPro 15, mid-2012 running BSur 11.0.1 (20B29).

What I found:
1. There is no app called 'Get to Know Your Mac' so you can't turn off its notification.
2. When in Finder, click on Help Menu and you'll see 'Get to Know Your MacBook Air.'
3. That 'Get to Know Your MacBook Air' entry is missing when on a MBPro 13, 2017, 14,2 running BSur 11.0.1 (20B29).
