Anything running Apple Silicon is not obsolete. The newest Macbooks are just upgrades to this chip line. You're thinking of the older Intel chip models.

From ChatGPT:
While the M1 MacBook Air was officially discontinued on March 4, 2024, following the release of the M3 MacBook Air, Apple continues to provide software updates and support for M1 devices.
Software Support Timeline
Apple typically offers macOS updates for its devices for about 6–7 years after their initial release. Given that the M1 MacBook Air debuted in November 2020, it's reasonable to expect software support to continue until at least 2026 or 2027.
Furthermore, Apple often provides security updates for older macOS versions even after they stop receiving major feature updates, ensuring continued protection for users.

Garbage. You can get a brand new M4 Air for $400 double memory and same storage. New battery and longer support runway. This is 5 years old. A lifetime in laptop years. No doubt, Macbooks are robustly built, but this will be dropped from software support in a few years. The M4...has a 10 year lifespan.
