Nice picture quality, really fast new M1 chip, and the new keyboard is really nice...only bad thing is that there isn't enough ports (only 2 thunderbolt c's)

Great computer overall. Has a great display, chip and battery life. Satisfies my every need just as good as a newer one that would be a few hundred dollars more.

Phenomenal laptop high speed loading times, fluid IU, and Home Screen, very responsive, my only issue with this laptop was around the time I got it they were experimenting with a few things like implementing the App Store on it, There is no apps for me to download not YouTube not anything only strange aftermarket apps that nobody knows lol and still is! I got this laptop to pursue my streaming dreams, but this laptop out of all other MacBooks did not support OBS stream labs, or ELgato…..it broke my heart there for I had the worst experience with my Mac. But I still love it because I’m pursuing a career in tech and it’s been coming in handy!! Ty apple.

Already had a brand new laptop Windows, dealing with pop-ups malware crap not to mention a big bulky laptop etc. wanted to get back in the game for quite some time, always wanted a Mac air, Best decision ever! Incorporates well with all my Apple products and just makes things a breeze with all it can do! The battery life is phenomenal along with the screen! Don’t get me wrong I was hung up on the high price tag! But I’m so glad I pulled the trigger now!

I’ve always wanted a MacBook and to finally get one, especially on sale, has been awesome! Just got it today! It looks beautiful, works wonderfully, and the graphics look amazing! I enjoy writing as a hobby and this laptop definitely gets the job done! Only thing that wasn’t perfect, was getting the laptop as an open box in excellent condition, and it didn’t come with the charger. It was also pretty dirty in the opened box it came in. But after a good cleaning and buying my own charger, everything was good! Still worth the buy!

This is my first laptop from Apple, I have owned all the other gadgets for a while. This computer is everything it claims to be and more. The speed, the graphics, the ease of use. Makes me wonder why I waited so long.

Apple Over Marketed/Promised

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.
