I have one, but it exhibited the Nvidia graphics issue and thus has been sidelined. I loved the graphics it put out, and the screen size quickly became even more loved. Replacing the battery, if I remember correctly, wasn’t that difficult. It will take a maximum of 16GB RAM and putting an SSD in it made it feel like a new machine.
I still miss it, even though it was a heavy beast to carry.
Edit: spelling error

he used the wrong measuring tape, the one that shows objects 2" longer than they really are.

it's probably so big that it looked like a 17 - I recently set up an m1 mba for a friend and at one point I put it on top of my 2015 11" mba - they are almost exactly the same size - the 13 is only slightly bigger
