    Being older, the first Mac I used was back in the early 90’s. I have to say its come a long way. I have to say its light and the graphics are superior. I work on a ThinkPad for my job so it’s terrible compared to this. If you own a iPhone its worth having.

    Perfect upgrade from Apple's Intel MacBook Air

    The new M1 is all about speed and efficiency. Everything is snappy in the new Big Sur MacOS and it really does feel like you're getting speed that we've been accustomed to on our everyday mobile devices. I think that my expectations were unreasonably high as YouTube reviewers were showing test running intensive applications for photo and video editing and made it seem like the Air could be a full on replacement for intel-based MacBook Pro's. While this is true in small limited tests, I found that in everyday use it could get sluggish here and there when running Adobe's graphic design programs like Adobe XD and Illustrator. This is where maybe the 16GB of RAM option would have been a better buy and make the Air and MacBook Pro comparable. So all in all, I think that if you're just looking for a reliable replacement for an everyday computer the Air is a great option and it blows away the intel-based versions. But as an workhorse laptop for heavy content creation, the 8GB RAM option won't cut it and you'll be kicking yourself for not getting the 16GBs or going up the the MacBook Pro.

    My wife and I bought this as a gift for my grown daughter. She had been wanting one for a while. She is a teacher and in Real Estate. She was using a Lenovo laptop and an Ipad. We Caught it on Presidents day sale, $799. This will replace the Lenovo an some of the duties of her Ipad. I have the IPad 11 M1 and this is an awesome chip. Apple hit a home run with the M1.
