Customer Ratings & Reviews

This thing is great. I'm a 3D model amateur who uses Blender. I also write a lot of code. To summarize, I am a power user. Blender works really really well. The only instance where I found this computer's limit was RAM-related tasks, such as fluid simulations, which I have never seen a laptop handle that. It did everything else with ease. Sure, rendering in cycles is slower than an RTX-powered PC, but it still does the job fine. (Note: I do not think it is a good idea to render on an M1 chip, as it is unknown at this time what putting it under 100% load for long periods of time. With that said, I'm gonna keep doing it.) Also, can we talk about battery life?! This thing lasts forever! I honestly charge it every couple of days if I'm just writing code! If I, a power user, can fully utilize this thing with my insane workflows then you can absolutely justify getting this. I'd like to point out the 2 flaws though: One external display without some crazy expensive accessories. 256GB Storage isn't ideal for me, but hey, I didn't want to shell out $250 to double that storage. I picked up a Samsung T5 SSD to cover that issue. If you need a new computer, this is the one. No question about it. I have recommended this computer to so many people since I bought it early this year.

Ordinarily, I am a Windows guy, partly because I am a self-employed accountant and therefore a heavy user of Microsoft Office, especially Excel. While Office products are available for MacOS, objectively they don't hold a candle to Office on Windows, period. I am also not a big fan of MacOS, partly because I am more comfortable in Windows. All that being said, Apple's already excellent hardware is taken to an entirely new level with the M1 processor. Apple really knocked it out of the park. The combination of performance, heat management, battery life, screen quality and brightness are incredible. You simply cannot get a fanless Windows 10 laptop that performs like this at any price - and this is less than $1,000! The next time you hear someone say all Macs or Apple products are overpriced, point them to this.

Do you want the best Mac for use at home at the best price? Get a Mac mini M1 and round it out with your own peripherals. Need to do some casual browsing, games, emails and shopping? Get an iPad--literally any iPad. Even the entry-level one. Need the best of of both? Get this laptop. It has crazy-long battery life. Fantastic performance for all the basic-medium level tasks. All in a thin and light package on the go. Could you make do with an iPad Pro? Yeah, but it's nice to have the stability of the keyboard built-in with the heft of a metal chassis as opposed to a keyboard case and also MacOS for whatever program you need to use for productivity or work. With the M1 processor you get power and battery life in a nice balance so for the average user this is a great product if you NEED to be in the Apple ecosystem. Otherwise get a Chromebook or Windows laptop. With that said, MacBooks tend to last many years and hold their value well. I have spotted it on sale here at Best Buy as low as $750 but overthought it, missed out and then jumped on it at $799 a few months later. Safe to say it's been a great product for my stated use-case and if you can catch it on sale it's a Best Buy!

I absolutely love everything Apple . I had a MacBook Air that I purchased in 2013 so I needed an upgrade. This computer is great, very user friendly, very fast and lightweight.

Bought this as an experiment fully expecting to return it and now I love it. Runs Microsoft 365 apps, Slack and Zoom super fast. Triple the battery life of my Windows laptops and super light. Only a few downsides for me. Using it to connect to Windows shared drives is slow and file management (copy and paste weirdness. I knew this beforehand which is one reason I didn’t think I’d keep it). Also the inability to run all my iPad apps and of course no touch screen (another reason I thought I’d return it but I got used to it). Highly recommend.

10/10, lightweight, fast, quick, simple, affordable, intuitive

I bought this Macbook to replace my laptop as it has been slowing down to its age. I wasn't expecting much for this purchase, but I was blown away at how fast it is. I know it's only a slight difference on how much time it saves, but it adds up. Not having to wait on processes or pages to catch up has been incredibly refreshing. I haven't had a chance to fully explore its features, but aside from its speed, the display is beautiful and its ability to adapt to harsh sunlight makes it the perfect choice to be my daily carry. Lastly, the battery life is amazing. I always carry a charger but this laptop lasts for days between charges despite its constant use. If you're looking for a solid laptop for work or school, I feel like this is the best choice for its price.

I recently bought an Apple MacBook from Best Buy, and it's been fantastic. The design is sleek, and the Retina display is vibrant and sharp. The M1 chip ensures smooth performance, even with demanding tasks, and the battery life easily lasts all day. Best Buy provided excellent service. The staff were knowledgeable and helpful, making the purchase process quick and easy. Overall, I highly recommend both the MacBook and Best Buy!

I absolutely love my new MacBook Air. I have wanted a MacBook Air for years and finally decided to get one. I am a 50 something year old college student so with Covid forcing classes to be online I joined a Zoom study group and I was the oldest person in the study group ( the other 4 girls were age 18 to early 40’s) I was also the only one without a MacBook. I felt old and out of place with my 15 inch 2013 Hp lol!!! So about a week before the class ended I bought my MacBook Air with the M1 chip. I love her. She ( my MacBook Air lol) is sleek, fast and sassy . I will never go back to Window. I also own an iPhone, Apple Watch, IPad mini and a older version Apple TV and IPad yes as you can see I love Apple products. My kids ( who are now grown) and I also owned Apple IPods . My husband still use one of my iPods to workout with .I was kind of afraid to purchase A MacBook because I have always used a PC with windows operating systems and I was told that the MacBook works differently than Windows but I guess because all of my other products were Apple products it’s not hard at all to learn this system and I also use YouTube to help me. Did I mentioned that I love love my MacBook Air. I also got the student discount so I only paid $899 so with the $100 I saved I bought the Magic Mouse 2.

The MacBook Air is one of the best performing and longest lasting consumer systems. I had my last one since 2016 and still running strong. This one with the M1 chip is fast, light and super good on battery

I was always hesitant about Apple. I switched to iPhone last year, and I finally caved and decided to switch to an Apple computer as well. Very glad I did so. Great battery life. Love this it can be connected with my iPhone. Fast processing. Clear screen. Not too big, and not too small - great size. Only downfall, no usb ports.

Im in my first year of college and this MacBook is really doing great! It’s really fast even with lots of tabs being open. The battery life lasts super long. I’ve gone through almost whole week without having to charge it. Speakers are also really good, they’re loud and clear! Get this !!!

The battery life, overall performance, affordable price, slim/lightweight design, and Retina display were really quite impressive!! Highly recommend this laptop for any teen/young adult!!

Feels great, pairs up perfectly with my iphone. As a first time macbook user this feels phenomenal. Super user friendly, easy to pick up on touchpad movements. It's lightweight, apps run perfectly, I was able to sync everything together quickly and I'm looking forward to using it for the upcoming school year!
