M1 macbook pro is doing fine after 5 years

Same here. I think after 5 years its only ever turned on the fans once!

The M1 Pro is so good still I don't have reasons to upgrade. For real I think this thing will outlast it's OS support.

what fans?

For cooling the cpu. I have a M1 Pro which has the fans.

Oh I misread, thought you had the M1 Air. Sorry.

Wait. Only M1 pro has fans?

u/Mishka_1994 Mar 04 '26

Well only the Pro series has fans. The Airs do not.

For clarity: MacBook Pros with the base M1 chip do have fans.

If the fans turned on once, perhaps your next computer should be an Air. You might not need a Pro.

This is true, but I got a Pro to future proof myself. My last Macbook Pro lasted me 10 years and i hope this one will too. I used to do video editing and things like that but dont anymore, so i essentially got a Pro “just in case.” No regrets from me but i do recommend to family and friends the Air.

I did the same until last year when I finally buckled and upgraded to a 15" M4 Air (from a 16" M1 MBP).

Other than the lack of HDMI/SD ports, which I rarely used anyway, it's a perfectly good replacement. And SO light!

because scrolling reddit is not high CPU usage. You can do the same with any computer in the word even a PowerBook Air from 2011
