Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this knowing it was geek certified but that's irrelevant in my review of the Macbook Air M1. PROS: It's definitely a step ahead of the last MacBook Airs. I would say the person this is for are creators who use adobe photoshop, iMovie, multiple tabs open, music playing, etc. It's genuinely pretty good for a MacBook Air. iMovie videos render in like lets say a 5minute video in 1080p 1GB, 2-3 minutes. That's a huge improvement. However, this is not for you if you use any video-making application that is not yet running on Apple's Silicone. It's not to say that it doesn't work. A lot of Intel products work through Rosetta. I'm not sure if this is going to be fixed since the new MacBook Airs M2 should be dropping in a few months. So I guess if you're a creator who only uses Apple applications like iMovie, and if you can find a M1 version of any application you use that's based on intel, you should be fine. But a lot of us who use adobe creative suite, powerdirector, cricut, silhouette, it's not a good idea to pick this up. I'm not sure if there is going to be a software update that fixes this but what happens is that with 8gb of ram, intel apps use about 7gb of the ram and so you're forced to shut down your work. Even JC can't save your hard work if you're editing a video or writing an essay. Overall, I don't blame anyone but myself and Apple. They overpromised on a product that had the potential to be great. It's just to bad they don't allow us to add more ram. It's hard to criticize them because I depend on MacOS but this really has to change with them. 8GB is not enough for anything anymore. Don't get wrong, take a look at your diagnostics and see how much the m1 is killing your SSD (or lifetime expectancy). This usually doesn't move numbers for a year or two but users are already seeing their MacBooks life expectancy start ticking, Ideally, this MacBook should have never been released as an 8GB Memory, it should have started at 16GB because every day the MacBook is being used it won't last as long as the original intels. I'm thinking of returning mine and going back to intel with just a higher ram and processor. we'll see. I'm actually thinking of leaving macOS and going back to windows because this is just sad.

I was rockin' a 2013 model MacBook Pro when I seen that Best Buy had the MacBook Air on sale and that gave me a reason to upgrade since my Pro was too old to upgrade any further as far as the OS. I have not been disappointed at all, the new Air is super fast and the battery life is fantastic! Great value for the price and just a great tool for all of my computing needs. Picture added to show the thickness difference in the old Pro and the new Air.

Super light and thin. My to go work gadget. I’m happy with my purchase. Easy to use and to navigate. Love it! Would recommend this MacBook.

I love my MacBook Air. I purchased it on Sale to add to my Apple Collection of work devices. The best thing I love about this device is how smooth it sync with my other Apple products. I wish it had a touch screen not sure what the hold up is other than that’s what they sale ipads for. Lol This version is a great everyday laptop. It’s not slow but I’m sure a Macbook would handle more complex tasks better. I have two 13inch iPad Pros and they are all about the same in height, weight and screen resolution. Functionality is the separating factor.

I love my Mac book! I use it for school as a part time student and full time mom and I love how durable, and light it is. Super easy to navigate as with most apple products but this is just a tried and true laptop to do any and all basics you need honestly. Can toss it in your bag and go if your out with your kiddo, wanna stop by a coffee shop and get some work done, or everyday use organizing and planning. I love it and totally worth the price point.

The MacBook Air with the M1 chip is a game-changer. Its performance is stellar, thanks to the M1's power efficiency and speed. The fanless design keeps it whisper-quiet. The battery life is remarkable, easily lasting a full day. The Retina display is vibrant, and the keyboard is comfortable. The M1's compatibility with iOS apps is a bonus. However, limited port options might be a drawback for some. Overall, it's a fantastic ultraportable laptop that sets a new standard in performance and battery life.

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.

I bought this online in “Open box” condition meaning the display model. It was described as being on excellent condition and all in all I ended up paying around $970 for it after taxes and fees. When I first received the laptop I was immediately in awe of its beauty (I bought the rose gold version) However upon trying to set up the laptop and gain access into it I ran into a bunch of issues which required me to contact Apple support. Best Buy had not done a software reset on the laptop before shipping it to me which resulted in me not being able to log in or set up my password. It was only after 2 days of receiving it that Apple finally pin pointed the issue and was able to walk me through doing a complete reset thereby allowing me to finally gain access into my laptop! Ever since then I’ve been in love with it! My only small complaint would be that I have to buy an adapter now to be able to connect my phone to it, other than that this was a great buy!

This is a good choice for a laptop. It is super portable and works very quickly and efficiently. The battery lasts for an incredible amount of time even doing constant work on it.

i’ve had a macbook pro for 8 years, it finally crapped out. i’ve had this new macbook air in rose gold for months now & i have been so happy with the laptop. it’s light weight, works lighting speed & has a great software/storage. this always me to work much faster rather than waiting like my previous laptop.

I’ve been a huge fan of Apple for over ten years. I even worked for Apple. This is my first personal MacBook and I love it. I love the appearance, sleekness, speed, battery life and I’m completely satisfied with purchase.

This is my second Macbook since 2017 and Apple didn't disappoint with the 2022 Macbook Air. I'm in love with the screen and battery life improvements. The battery lasts for 2-3 days on a single charge. The sleek, non-curved edge of the 2022 Air vs 2017 is my favorite because it feels more sturdy despite the aluminum base. The newer design is a definite step up from the 2017. I'm very happy I went with this version.

This laptop has made college so much easier. In todays age everything is digitalized and this computer has saved me so much time and energy. All of my university services and textbooks are easily accessible and the sleek and compact design allows me to carry it in my backpack and not have to worry about bulky mess or excessive weight. I love the Touch ID feature, it maintains security with convenience and the processing speed is more than fast enough to keep up with the needs of a student.

This is my first time purchasing a Mac and even using one. I just got it delivered today and i am loving it so far. It’s been pretty easy to use and I’ll see how well it works now that it has an M1 chip from Apple in the following weeks!

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

I love that I was able to get my hands on this beautiful, rose gold laptop. It's the perfect size for my tiny hands and I like the size of the laptop overall. The screen isn't too big either, The keypad has black keys, making the rose gold color stand out more. Super cute! If you love Apple products and have always been familiar with iPhones & iPads, I recommend this laptop as you can connect your devices together!

The real deal: great display, keyboard, battery life, and performance in a lightweight and compact package!

I've purchased this model of the MacBook; the day after Christmas. When I bought it, I fell in love with it. I bought the Gold Color; which I thought was cute. Although the MacBook came with the 256GB which I thought was enough. I bought this MacBook for online school, it is so flawless. I love the quietness, no viruses and the compatibility. It is very fast. This is my first MacBook and I will keep it forever.

Best purchase I have made, it really was more of an investment. I hated being a student and having to work on my phone or iPad, a Mac was the better choice. I can take it anywhere since its relatively small and even though its the 2020 model it works amazingly. I have never had problems with the speed or it freezing and I do a lot of school work on it. In terms of numbers I give it a 10/10!!

Very efficient, user friendly, compact, attractive and keeps a.charge well. I love it!
