I've been running a first-gen 16GB M1 MBP since April 2021
I run it all day every day - Zoom calls, VDI, web browsing, YouTube, etc etc
I can take it off the charger before I start for the day, run it all day with WiFi and Bluetooth running (doing all of the above activities), and I've still got charge available (20-40%, depending on the exact mix of tasks) 10 hours later
In running up on a year and a half ... I've yet to hear the fan once - even sitting in full sun in the car (while someone else drives)
I only wish I could've gotten the M1 iPad Pro so I didn't have to hotspot my phone to use it away from reliable internet :)
