Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have always wanted a MacBook, ever since I was a little kid. But, there was always something that stopped me from getting one. They always mentioned that the Air wasn't very good, from 2011 all the way up to 2019, reviews always mentioned the multiple flaws MacBook Air had; from the thermal throttling, to the super small SSD (128 at base price), over $1000, then the Butterfly Keyboard etc. The list went on and on, and I really thought that it wasn't worth the money. Until, WWDC 2020, Apple announced they would start making their own chips straight from home, I was so excited for this new generation, it reminded me of the time when they went from PowerPC to Intel. The excitement was there, and I loved the new unibody that started in 2016, with the removal of unnecessary ports for the average Joe. Everything was the same, but the new M1 chip. That is when I realized that this M1 MacBook Air was the one for me. I didn't hesitate and started saving until I had enough to buy it. And, I absolutely made the best decision in purchasing it. It is amazing, it's super slim. portable, super fast processing speed and power. The screen is beautiful, the bezels are unnoticeable. The keyboard is outstanding, To be completely honest, this laptop makes you want to be more productive, just because of its speed and its ease of use. If you're thinking about purchasing a Mac, this by far is one of the better choices (and the cheapest nonetheless) The charger is also outstanding! 30w is all you need for this little thing Recommendation: I would just like to say that you should consider upgrading the SSD size, at least to 512GB, 256GB is fine, but you won't feel the need to download and have only the essentials, 512GB is such a sweet spot and won't have to worry about deleting things in the future. RAM upgrade I wouldn't recommend, unless you are a serious power hungry user.

The MacBook works really amazingly and it was definitely worth the price. I use it for school every day and the battery life is amazing. Every now and then I game on the laptop and it does not heat up and does not get loud at all. As for purchasing it, it did come in the day it was supposed to but hours later, the shipt delivery person came In hours later which did give me a bit of anxiety but it did come in in due time, brand new box protected by an orgingal Apple box and was packaged very nicely.

It’s Simple and does the job it’s supposed to do. I was a mostly a PC person, so getting used to the commands gets tricky, but I bought a shortcut sticker to help with that. I don’t perform a lot of tasks on it, other than wfh via a vpn. I have to use MS Teams messenger to communicate with team members, and screen sharing is clear. Using screenshare on my MacMini M1 isn’t clear. So odd. But there are no delays or lags and have no experienced any glitches. Sound is good. Watched a few streams and it’s crystal clear. I use it for hours so I have to charge it every so often after 6 hours or so. It’s light weight and easy to carry in my shoulder purse. I love that this will last me for quite sometime. I bought a case cover and a keyboard cover.

I recently bought the MacBook Air M1, base model. I am a programmer and I dedicate myself to making both mobile applications for Android and iOS, web applications and some game development with Unity. The use I give it is not exactly domestic. I have been able to have a node server running at the same time as Unity consuming information from the server, and it has no problems. I have also used Android and iOS emulators (which consume a lot) at the same time. The funny thing is that I bought it thinking of using it for a period of 6 months when the new MacBook Pro M2 Pro/Max comes out, and I think it will give up for the whole of 2023 without any problems. From what I'm having I don't think it's worth going to an M2 because the difference in power in the personal I don't think justifies the price. If you really need more power than the M1 can offer you with 16Gb of ram (I use 8 and it's impeccable), I highly recommend going for an M1 Pro. Greetings and I hope this can serve as a reference for other programmers who have doubts about the capabilities of this machine to work.

Really really good laptop and next customer service from best buy. I have my address written wrong on online purchase . So, it got delayed for a while but after I contacted to customer care they immediately got me one for store pickup. The laptop works brilliant and is really easy to carry with slim structure. Really helpful for students. Really enjoying my purchase. Battery life is great

The MacBook Air 2020 is a sleek and lightweight laptop that offers excellent portability. Its Retina display delivers sharp visuals, and the keyboard is comfortable to type on. With the transition to Apple's M1 chip, it provides impressive performance and power efficiency. However, it has limited ports and may not be suitable for heavy gaming or demanding professional tasks. Overall, it's a great choice for everyday use and productivity on the go.

Best laptop at an affordable price. I was on a budget and desperately needed a good laptop for work and studying. One day I was browsing and the internet looking for a good deal I even went to the Mac Store. Then suddenly I was browsing around the Best Buy website and there it was, the same MacBook Air I just saw at the Mac Store a few hours earlier at a better price, it was the same brand new one! I was amazed, and bought it right away. Best purchase ever! I even paid the 2 years Apple Care plan but haven’t used it since my MacBook Air looks and works is if I just bought it. If you are looking for a durable, great battery performance, fast efficient laptop, excellent display and graphics, I truly recommend this one right here, this is definitely my Best Buy in a long time.

I've always been an avid PC user. I went to college and was actually instructed/learned on Mac. I thought it felt clunky, but then again I also was pushing deep familiarity bias. Assumptions and habits made me just get used to Windows and lean towards rejection of other options. It also didn't help that Apple's price point was a bit insane in 2008. Fast forward to 2021, now a professional photographer who utilizes my laptop constantly. Quick Response: "I'll never turn back" Does it do everything a Windows laptop can? Yes Does it have every single feature a Windows laptop has? No However, it's the "feel" that completely sets Mac apart from PC/Windows. From the hardware, ease of use and general navigation you just truly see incredibly fast that Apple takes deep attention to every detail very seriously. My best comparison is assuming PC/Windows laptops are a car, having a LOT of power under the hood. However, it was assembled by some idiot, who also decided to cut corners on the paint job. Does what it needs to do, but it looks/feels kind of crappy and you run into a bunch of small, annoying little issues that tend to add up when you utilize it daily. Just a few of my own personal favorite aspects, not to stretch out a website review too far. 1. Track Pad I have always used a mouse. Editing photos, it just increased my speed/accuracy to get through sets faster. Apple's trackpad on the MacBook has legit made me unplug my house. It's legitimately perfect, from functionality to feel of the haptic feedback I've never experienced anything like it. PC/Windows laptops have nothing that comes anywhere close to this. 2. Keyboard Same situation as the mouse. I basically avoided laptop keyboards like the plague. I would plug in an external and lay it over etc. Never going to happen with Macbook's keyboard on these laptops. Like the track pad it just feels/functions way better than anything I've ever used before. 3. M1 Chip It's fast. Like, really fast. I barely see anything hesitate like the chip is thinking, aside from a slight stutter when I open a larger app like Lightroom. To wrap this up, all I can say is at it's price point vs the competition you would be insane to go with anything else. Is iOS a bit of a learning curve? Yes, but I will confidently say I figured it out in a few days and was cruising through my work like I had never left PC. Hope the review helped!

Upgraded from a 2017 Air. Screen is visibly sharper, the processing speed is faster. I use a second screen, often with streaming news feeds or YouTube videos open, while working on items open on the laptop's screen. Sound is good too. Incredibly lightweight for travel, and I never worry the battery will quit before I do.

[Employee of bestbuy] Absolute love the product get the job done, love the slick, futuristic style of the MacBook Air only downside is the ports Apple had got rid of the USB replaced it with a better USB-C however, been a contact designer the lack of the usb has slowed me down a little since I would have I stop mid work and go buy a adapt

I recently bought this MacBook Air 13.3" from Best Buy, and my satisfaction knows no bounds. This laptop has completely exceeded my expectations with its superb performance, unmatched portability, and exceptional battery life. Portability is where the MacBook Air truly shines. It's incredibly lightweight and compact, making it effortless to carry around. The 13.3" display offers a perfect blend of screen size and convenience. The laptop's display quality is outstanding, with vibrant colors and sharp resolution. True Tone technology ensures comfortable viewing in various lighting conditions. Additionally, the keyboard and trackpad are top-notch, enhancing productivity and usability.

Loved this computer. Practical size and lightweight. The gold color looks more like a rose gold. It is unique. Very fast.

Fast, long battery life, good sound and light. Perfect for work and for watch movies or shows on it.

I’ve had this laptop for 2 years now and it’s still working really well. It’s quick, it’s silent, it stills lasts around 7-8 hours when it’s on battery mode. It’s only heated up on me once but that’s because I had like 20 applications on, many tabs on as well, along with my coding application on the side. It’s perfect, honestly.

Overall great computer. Slim, light and still plenty of speed and memory.

Took me a minute to figure out some stuff because it functions a bit different than my iPhone and my iPad but once I figured it out it’s easy to use, compact and works great. Only thing it didn’t have was a USB port but I bought an adapter and problem solved. Now I have 4 ports. I got the gold one. It’s pretty and beautiful display.

Love love this computer. It's my first Mac laptop, and so far it has worked better than any of my other laptops. Its fast, you can custom it, and a good amount of storage. The battery lasts me about 4-5 days but I use it all day long. was looking for a good laptop for my university classes and this has worked for everything I need.

I’ve had my MacBook for about 2 years now and it has been the best purchase I’ve made ever. I’m a student about to graduate in 2025 and this computer has had amazing battery, performance, and had a very sleek style.

It's been awhile since I've had a Mac, and I forgot how well-designed these products are. The Air works wonderfully and the light weight and small size makes it easy to grab and take with me on the move. For some reason it's hard to successfully select and move items around using the track pad (and I don't remember that being an issue on previous Macs I've owned, so this was a surprise) but using a mouse resolves that pain point. One thing about Apple I've never understood is why there isn't an easy-to-see-or-use cut option along with their copy option when you right click on a file or item. Sometimes they don't even offer the copy option when I right click on certain files. I get around that with keyboard shortcuts, but it seems like a simple, essential feature for menu options when you right-click on a file. Of course, I'm not a power user of Apple computers, so maybe I'm missing something. I especially appreciate the way they've designed the iCloud to span across devices and computers. It's so amazingly easy to move files between my MacBook and my iPhone. It makes a lot of tasks much easier. Overall, the positives far outweigh any negatives.

MacBook Air boasts a sleek design and impressive performance. The Apple M1 chip ensures a fast and seamless experience, while its slim and lightweight build makes it an easy-to-carry option. The Retina display enhances visual enjoyment with vibrant clarity. Combining style and functionality, MacBook Air is an excellent choice for mobile users.
