Docker on macOS runs in a VM — fine for most, painful for some workflows. If your stack is Linux-targeted the ThinkPad is simpler; if it's web/JS the Air's battery and screen win.

I switched from ThinkPad to Air M4 for coding — the battery life changes how you work. Only you can decide if Docker-on-VM bothers you.
