I’m new to iOS app development, will the MacBook Air m1 base model suit my needs? (beehaw.org)

I’m not sure if the base model is enough or not. Anyone have experience?

I have the base model for my iOS builds (my main development PC is a Windows machine). It works fine for that purpose. The SSD space runs out immediately though, so I had my company buy an external drive. Also wouldn't want to do any prolonged development sessions on it personally, just owing to the small screen, keyboard, lack of ports etc. That could be fixed with external screens and adapters though.
