Just curious, what color M1 MB Air did you order?
I went with Gold simply because I am tired of gray and silver.

Space gray for me!! I just love this color on the Macs!
Looks like mine... When it turns up :-(Space gray for me!! I just love this color on the Macs!
Just got mine today in Space Gray - absolutely love the color and the computer!
Space Gray. As much as I’m tired of gray it actually looks super sharp on the MacBooks.
Silver.
Space gray is tolerable on the outside but the inside, keyboard area is too dark for my preference.

To keep it warm and block heat dissipation. 🤣
Gold. It’s a nice blend between the old Rose Gold and previous Gold colors. In natural light it looks more gold. In artificial light it looks more rose gold.
I got the space grey but I wish Apple would produce a darker grey almost black MacBook
So I can make it the colour I want which is the whole point of skins...the colours apple offers for Macs are just boring to me and so it matches my other devices.
Wanted Silver, but just ordered Space Gray since that is what was available (Costco base 8/256 config).
My Early 2020 13" MBP 32/512 is the first time I didn't get Silver on a Mac. I do like it, but decided I like a classic Silver better. But not a deal breaker (hence I ordered).

Been a Space Grey guy ever since it was first introduced, awfy partial to that colour.
I've had quite a few space grey macbook's now: 12" original Macbook, 13" Macbook Pro, and since 2018, the 15" MBP. I have always liked the colour but this time I'm returning to Silver. To be honest for no other reason than a change; apathy towards the same kicks in after a while.
When I bought the 11" IPP this year, I also went for the silver and it looked *fresh* to me. So I'm pretty happy with my choice. Both are great though. I also think the Gold looks beautiful, but rightly or wrongly, I cannot justify that as a 30+-year-old man. My issue, I know.

Agree with all of this. After using a space grey 12” MacBook for four years, I am considering a silver Air to freshen things up. I want to like the gold color more, but I find it too rose gold for me. That said, I think color is a thing I forget about pretty quickly.
I’m surprised Apple didn’t launch a new color for the M1’s.
Had silver for 8 years, but decided on space grey now and I'm in love, it's absolutely stunning and I don't regret it one bit. 😍
I'm holding out for a 16", but will go silver. My understanding is that the space gray/gold/etc are all coatings that could wear away, while silver is basically close to the raw aluminum and could hold up better.
If I'm wrong about this though someone please let me know since I might go space gray instead in that case.
