    I have bought 2 same Mac different color for two my sons. They are 9 and 11. I bought laptop but they said “no it is not apple” it is worth for 9 and 11? It is really good apple’s marketing. They have ipad mac airpod etc. getting more apple stuff, it is little bit expensive but I like their design and philosophy

    Overall very happy with this purchase. Best Buy had the best price out there for this MacBook Air. I was able to purchase the laptop and 3 year care plan for less than just the laptop price at the Apple store. While there is a slight learning curve with the MacBook Air in general, it has been a game changer.

    Bought as a graduation present for my little sister. Great price, quick shipping, everything functions as youd expect for macbook air. It doesnt have the bells and whistles but checks that Apple box for anyone who wants a computer to sync up with your Apple applications and tech. Good for anyone who just needs a computer for school work, office work, or social media and TV streaming apps.

    I am 26 year old student who needed a light but durable laptop that was not too big, and not too small to travel with and study on the go. Aside from being a great laptop for a student, it serves many functional purposes being it's an apple product. If you have other apple products, it's really satisfying how everything syncs. You don't even have to be that computer savvy to keep up with it.

    This computer can preform any task that you have for it. I have been playing NBA 2K21 on it and the M1 runs it with no problem. Apple producing their own chips instead of using intel based chips is amazing. If you have other apple products they work seamlessly like unlocking your Mac with your watch or using your I Pad as a secondary screen.For being a apple product the price is surprisingly low but doesn't sacrifice any performance or build quality. i would strongly recommend it if you live in apples ecosystem but if you don't its still an amazing purchase.

    Not the best Apple product I've owned

    I've been an exclusive Mac user for 15 years, and usually adore everything Apple produces. The MacBook Air (M1 chip) isn't my favorite product. The track pad is a little hard to maneuver at times, especially when trying to highlight text or move windows around the screen. Also, I know I'm testing its limits of power, but at the advice of a sales associate, I bought it thinking I could do some light design work with the Adobe Creative suite. At the moment, Adobe hasn't configured its software to operate with the M1 chip in mind, and I found that it wasn't a smooth ride using inDesign for very basic work. The same work is fine with my suped-up Mac mini. Hoping those updates come soon. I'm also extremely disappointed in the webcam's lowlight functioning. Using it for Zoom/Facetime in the evenings at my home in lamplight has yielded subpar results. Otherwise, this is a typical Apple product — smooth design, lightweight, beautiful graphics, great for surfing the web.

    This product works very well and was easy to purchase! I ordered it online and picked up in the store. The employees that assisted me were great and quick! The MacBook is very fast and the screen display is clear. It offers Touch ID if that is preferred over password to login to the computer which was easy to set up and makes it quick to login. Overall great product!
