I have a 2018 MBA. Web Dev doesn't require a powerplant, the spec is more than enough for the job, I have one with 16GB RAM, which is beneficial.
The battery life is excellent, thanks to the Y series CPU, but obviously we use it mostly on charger, but sometimes I just find myself coding 2 hours, without charger.
Exactly what I was trying to say in the post, TY. I run my current stack on a Raspberry PI sometimes. Not saying you should do development on a PI, but it works.
Beware leaving the Mac on a charger all the time. This is what got me in the predicament I’m in now with the 2015 MBP. Genius took one look at the diagnostics and asked “you don’t take it off the charger much do you?”. The batteries are meant to be power cycled. It helps condition them and maintain their charge over the lifespan of the battery.
