An alternative that is available right now is to get an M1/M2 MacBook Air and run Asahi Linux on it. The older models are pretty cheap, but still quite fast. There are some missing features, but it runs really well. I've been using it as my home driver for over a year and it's really solid.

I am so tempted. Is battery life good with Asahi?

		It's unfortunately not (yet) as good as in MacOS, but acceptable.
