From my understanding this a a curse of the M1 Mac Air’s… there is no venting for the air’s that I am aware of so when you begin to “work” on the Air as it heats the warm air being generated around the chip has no where to go since it have no vents or fan. So it overheats super easy… I work in Graphic Design and that was what swayed my decision to get a M1 MacBook Pro instead of the Air cause I knew I would be putting my Mac thru the ringer running all my various apps and what not.
