    Fast but difficult transfer of contents of old Mac

    While the new M1 chip does make this the fastest Mac I have used, the transfer of the files and apps and HD from my old Mac Airbook using Time Machine was problematic. The digital HD on the new make became inaccessible to me as it only gave me (as the owner and administrator) of the new Mac, read-only privileges! Consequently, the contents of my old HD had to be stored in a folder on the new Desktop. The new digital HD only contains the new system and library files and I am not able to move any other files into that location!

    New MacBook with the M1 chip is super fast and more reliable than previous models. Great product and great price with excellent product support. Most importantly it comes from a trusted provider of electronics (Best Buy).

    A great buy at 750,00. The M1 is a really good processor and the price difference to M2 or M3 was a lot bigger then performance

    Purchased a new laptop to replace a 7-yr old model. Best Buy handled everything in the replacement with transfers, etc. uploading programs excellently. It was most seemless.

    I already had a MacBook Air, but it was time for an upgrade. From finding out what my old Mac was worth, to getting advice on what I needed in a new Mac, everyone was friendly and helpful. I love my new Mac.

    Fantastic laptop, best I've used in a long time and great form factor. The M1 chip is a game changer and this MacBook Air can hold it's own even with my MacBook Pro that I purchased at about the same time. Buy with absolute confidence. A real powerhouse.

    I absolutely love the new macs with the M1 processor! These really are great value for your money and run speedy fast. I can see myself owning this computer for a very long time. If you are already apart of the Apple eco system, this is a worthy upgrade.

    I purchased this laptop for my 14 year old granddaughter's Christmas gift. She absolutely loves it. I hope she's able to use it through high school. I don't know anything about the battery life but assume it's a good one.

    I LOVE having a MacBook! It is so much easier to use when it comes to editing my photos in Lightroom and I am so use to apple products alone. I also like how small it is compared to the older generation MacBooks.

    Replaced a 10 year old Mac Book Pro. Not enough USB ports, had to spend additional money on the multi port extension. Why is apple always trying to extract every last cent from customers.
