Need to upgrade my computer for work as going freelance.

Mostly just google docs etc, but also some heavy InDesign and light Premiere Pro. Move around a fair bit for work (tv).

Very tempted by the MacBook Air M1 (even though I know it’s yet to support PP and INDD).

Thinking about a MacBook Air 13 M1 with a second screen setup of an iPad or iPad Air running sidecar? Coming from a 15” pro. I don’t see any difference between the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro apart from the fan?

Other option is a Mac mini setup with an iPad Air for ‘on the go’.

Anyone else using sidecar to get a bit more screen real estate? Or should I just buy a monitor? Advantage of sidecar is I can take the extra space with me wherever I go whereas a monitor is a bit trickier.

Should add I already own a 2014 13” pro which is starting to show its age.

I don't know anything about the new silicon chip MBs, but I do know that Premiere Pro is one of the few programs that gives my 2017 MB Pro a hard time, my gut would say that an Air would struggle with it (but I guess it also depends on the file sizes / formats you're working with).
