I agree on the nano-texture display having used one in person for a little bit. It's sort of like an ultra fine matte texture that isn't noticable while using it, but is noticable compared to other devices in the same room. I hope it becomes a more standard option on future devices.

That said, I've used Thinkpads with matte displays and while not as fine, they mostly have the same benefit.

I’d love an air with a high density display.

My mom has an M1 air, and its resolution is not great. Everything looks a bit blurry compared with my 4K Dell XPS my wife’s MacBook Pro m4 display. I guess the air’s native resolution means it has to do fractional scaling.

The m1 air native resolution is 2560x1600 and the 'best for display' default is 1280x800, that's 2x integer scaling. But yeah if you have a different resolution set, it'll be fractional and probably a bit blurry in comparison.
