Customer Ratings & Reviews

One of the best purchases I have made! I was considering buying this laptop for a long time, and it was very much worth it. I’m a grad student and the display, battery, and size is amazing and has maximized my experience in school so far.

apple did not fail to impress me with this mac. the exterior is smooth and modern like and overall looks great. the gold looks like a rose gold fyi, no complaints tho. the sound quality is amazing and the speed is extremely fast. so happy with this purchase!

I love Best Buy, for being very patient with me in my purchase decision. After a lot of research I decided go to M1 MacBook Pro. Laptop nowadays with reasonable settings are getting so expensive that financially for me made more sense going to a brand that have a good reputation just adding a little more. The machine is fast, display outstanding, battery lasts forever. Very happy with the purchase.

Such an amazing computer. I went to America just to get this MacBook so I could improve my workflow and that was definitely the best decision I've ever made. If you're looking for a computer that will handle music production, video editing, any other daily tasks like opening up tons of tabs at the same time, or managing 2 Logic Pro projects at the same time - that is definitely the machine for you. Oh, and the battery... I've never EVER seen a laptop with such good battery life. Jesus, it's impressive. I wish I could've had enough money to buy the 512GB SSD version tho, but a 256GB + Samsung SSD T7 Shield is definitely enough for me at the time. Notice I've paid only 749 dollar NEW on Best Buy during Black Friday.

Bought this solely for the inevitable return to campus for college. Even despite that the M1 does work quite well as a regular laptop despite the limited ports available. Touch ID is quick and responsive just as it was on older iPhones, and the battery life is second only to the M1 MacBook Pro. I have only used it so far for writing papers and for streaming and out of the box it went from 80% to roughly 75% after 3 hours. Even on standby mode it sips power and I have yet to plug it in to fully charge as it is that well optimized for battery life. At $800 for an ultrabook its a great price to pick up as it easily can beat others in the same price range. at normal MSRP of $999 you may want to see how well it might work for you but is still a solid contender.

This MacBook is amazing. So fast and compact. Great overall.

Love these little laptops. Travel with them easily, charge lasts and no issues to date

I've been using this laptop for about 2 weeks now, and it's been reliable and very, very fast. All the features that have been implemented are really nice to have, such as opening the lid and having it promptly up and running. I never thought it would make any difference for my use, but it does. Also, it's very fast for almost all the tasks that I've thrown at it. I often do light work, such as web browsing, Word and Excel and some video editing for my child videos and some work videos as well, and even using Adobe Premiere Pro, which's not optimized for it yet, runs very smoothly, with one or two glitches here and there. I've used a MacBook Pro 13 from 2014 and 2018, and then migrated to a Razer Blade 15 2019, but none of them were as good as this simple 8 Gb and 256 Gb SSD MacBook Air (except for gaming, of course). The keyboard is excellent and much better than the old version butterfly mechanism ones, which started failing on me after 2 months on my old Pro 13. The screen is alright, not the best looking ones with these bezels. And build quality, well... Expect an Apple product build quality, so, it's pretty good for its class and price. I'm thinking of buying another one with more RAM and SSD storage, and keeping this one for my wife, but, truly, I'm already very satisfied with this one. If you own a MacBook Air or even a MacBook Pro 13 with the low end specs and if you're thinking of upgrading, this is definitely a buy, again, with some more SSD storage.

Super fast computer. Very light. Superb design. It feels like a well built and well designed device. Apple leaves nothing to compromise.....it is the Mercedes of laptops. I wish it had a touch screen, but the iPad works pretty well for that! I've used many computers, but since 1984, my favorite has been the Mac. It is just an better experience all around.

I upgraded from a 2012 Mac laptop, and let me tell you. This laptop is a game changer, it’s not slow, battery life is great! Addition this powerful machine is so light, so no worries about snap, crackle and pop on the back, leave that problem to the cereal.

The M1 chip still holds up for almost all my college tasks. It's been a month since I owned it and I've had no problems with this product. The packaging was top-notch and BestBuy delivered it within a day of purchase. Go get it if you're looking for a back-to-school laptop that is value for money!

Awesome! Fast, quiet, super lightweight, and cute pink rose color.

This was a graduation present fo my daughter starting college. She absolutely loves it. The purchase itself was fast and easy. The Macbook runs verybwell. It has great speed, easy to work and convenient to store. I would definitely purchase it again.

The best laptop I ever have. Was my first time buying an apple computer and I’m so happy with this decision. They are fast, light and perfect for all my necessarily. I love the design and how easy is for use I totally recommend this product

Awesome laptop, The Gold Mac-book air didn't fail my expectations. This is like hitting Jackpot. I mean given the best decent computers today, the MacBook Air is the lightest, with an M1 system on a chip meaning, the CPU, RAM, GPU, and other chip components are on a single piece of silicon. I love the solid-state drives (SSDs) for file storage. They’re faster than hard drives,

It's been a year and half since I bought this and it has been fantastic. The battery is amazing and so is the performance. Great Value for money

We bought this for my Mother and my Aunt. They aren't very computer savvy and we all agreed an apple laptop would be better for their needs and easier for them to use and navigate over windows. Once we got them set up, its been a pleasant and comfy experience. The M1 chip is very powerful and it stays pretty quiet most of the time. They are very happy with their purchase.

The M1 MacBook Air is a game changer. Its custom Apple silicon chip provides exceptional speed, efficiency, and battery life. With a lightweight design and stunning Retina display, it offers a powerful computing experience without compromising on portability.

My small Mac is perfection, is quick, powerful, the display is outstanding, I use this laptop for watching Netflix and complete some of homework. The battery life is also outstanding. I love this little machine, is perfect for me.

I was hesitant at first due to new technology. However I decided to go all in on the base model and I am extremely happy I did. The machine wakes up super fast and does not heat up as much as my previous apple MacBook Pro with intel chip. This m1 chip is a winner it does not get as hot as the intel chip and the battery life is off the chart. I look forward to putting t through its paces. Joe
