    I’ve been using the M1 MacBook Air for a while now, and honestly, it’s one of the best laptops I’ve ever owned. It’s super fast—apps open instantly, and everything just runs smoothly, whether it’s for school, work, or just everyday stuff around the house. Also! the battery lasts forever. I can go a whole day (sometimes two) without needing to charge it, which is perfect for a busy household. It’s also really quiet—there’s no fan, so it never makes noise, even when I’m multitasking. The screen is beautiful and clear, and the build quality is solid, it feels like it’ll last for years. For casual gaming, streaming, writing, or anything else a family might need, this MacBook holds up like a champ. Apple really nailed it with the M1.

    MacBook Air 13.3" Laptop with the Apple M1 chip, 8GB Memory, and 256GB SSD in Space Gray I recently upgraded to the MacBook Air with the Apple M1 chip, and I must say it has exceeded all my expectations. This sleek and elegant laptop boasts remarkable power, impressive battery life, and an exceptional user experience. First and foremost, the M1 chip is an absolute game-changer. Its blazing-fast performance allows me to breeze through tasks effortlessly, from intensive video editing to multitasking with dozens of apps open simultaneously. The 8GB of memory, combined with the M1 chip, ensures seamless performance and smooth transitions between applications, even during heavy workloads. The 13.3" Retina display is stunning, with vibrant colors and sharp details. Whether I'm working on creative projects or enjoying my favorite movies, the visuals are nothing short of captivating. The slim bezels add to the immersive experience, making it feel like I have a much larger screen in a compact form factor. One of the standout features of this MacBook Air is its exceptional battery life. I can go a full day of heavy usage without worrying about recharging. This makes it the perfect companion for long flights, business trips, or extended work sessions where access to power outlets may be limited. The 256GB SSD provides ample storage for my documents, media files, and applications. And thanks to the M1 chip's advanced architecture, accessing files and launching apps is incredibly quick. It truly enhances the overall productivity and efficiency of the laptop. The Magic Keyboard is a joy to type on, offering a comfortable and responsive typing experience. The redesigned scissor mechanism makes typing quieter, and the keys have a satisfying feel, allowing for long typing sessions without fatigue. The macOS operating system is as intuitive and user-friendly as ever. I appreciate the seamless integration of Apple's ecosystem, making it easy to sync my data, photos, and messages across all my Apple devices. Portability is a key aspect of the MacBook Air, and it truly delivers in this aspect. Weighing in at just under three pounds and with its slim profile, it effortlessly slips into my bag, making it the perfect travel companion. The build quality is top-notch, as expected from Apple products. The aluminum unibody construction feels solid and premium, while the Space Gray color adds a touch of elegance. In terms of connectivity, the MacBook Air features Thunderbolt/USB 4 ports, giving me the flexibility to connect external displays, storage devices, and other peripherals without compromising on data transfer speeds. In conclusion, the MacBook Air with the Apple M1 chip is a game-changer that sets a new standard for performance and portability.

    M1 is a monster processor making a laptop perform quick like a Tablet or smart phone but with full computer power. My wrists love the wedge shape. The camera is disappointing but not a deal breaker just need to turn on more lights while on Zoom or FaceTime . Overall a great buy with Apple build quality that will work well for a decade.The audio sounds great for background music and clear conversations. Great size and weight for on the go. Battery life is exceptional and boot ups incredibly swift. Very happy with this purchase.

    This laptop is absolutely sleek, lightweight, portable, and fast. My old computer had broke and wasn’t very portable but I can take this to my classes, Lightroom runs excellent, and plenty of storage!! It got knocked off a counter after about a week of having it, I was almost in tears fearing the worst as it landed open, screen down, like a tent. Not a single crack or scratch.

    I ordered this MacBook for writing my reviews and I'm thrilled with it! It syncs with my iPad Pro, iPhone 14 Pro Max and my iPad mini BEAUTIFULLY! It seamlessly connects between devices making it effortless to toggle between my devices depending on my needs. I can write at home or on the go and pick up exactly where I left off on any device. The MacBook is portable enough to fit all of my backpacks yet, it's light enough to not add too much weight. It's easy to find affordable, protective and stylish cases or sleeves for traveling with my MacBook while providing the peace of mind that my MacBook is safe during travel. The fingerprint security offers the ultimate security for protection of my MacBook/icloud account. The screen is vibrant with excellent imagery. Streaming is a breeze whether I'm watching something or just listening to music. The multi tasking capability is better than my iPad Pro. The mouse pad and gestures are incredible!! It's so easy to toggle between my notes and webpages for efficient and thorough reviews or to just toggle between apps and functionalities. The interface is smooth no matter what I'm using my MacBook for. I really don't notice a difference in my M1 chip and operating system as opposed to my Husband's M2 chip MacBook. Memory has never been as issue with the 8GB memory and 256GB SSD. My MacBook is rarely ever laggy or non responsive. It never overheats and works beautifully for my daily use and needs. It connects smoothly (via Bluetooth) with my razor cobra mouse and my Logitech mechanical keyboard when I'm stationed in front of my MacBook for working and writing. I haven't noticed any bluetooth connectivity issues between my devices and my MacBook. Battery life is superb. I literally have my MacBook on like all day long and charge it roughly every 3 days or so. (Even after year of ownership) Maybe every other day if I'm using my MacBook for a solid 12 hours for 2 days. The two USB C port are great for both quick charging and my acer USB C 7 in 1 hub. (which provides a convenient display port hub for my monitor out SD ports for my SD cards) The only negative experience I've had with my MacBook in the year that I've owned it is that it has randomly disconnected from wifi. It happened a few times when I first bought my MacBook. Although it took a matter of seconds to simply reconnect to my wifi it was still annoying to deal with. We recently switched internet providers and since then the issue has not reoccured. Additionally in the year I've owned my MacBook it did freeze on me like 3 separate times (randomly and months apart) where I had to do a hard reset for my MacBook to get it smoothly functioning again. Once I did my hard reset the MacBook functions beautifully and smooth with no indication of other concerning issues. The other thing I did notice is that occasion some apps will freeze and simply show a spinning mouse icon. I specifically notice this with the notes app. Force closing the frozen app resets it and gets it smoothly operating again. I would assume that the hard reset I had to do for my MacBook as well as the froze notes app is a result of literally always having my MacBook on and never really turning it off. When I'm done for the day I usually just close my MacBook and open it back up to pick up where I left off the day before. 9/10 times that's not an issue and the MacBook functions smooth and beautifully. The most common issue is my notes app freezing. I usually see this issue about once a month or maybe even once every 6 weeks or so. It's not so recurrent that it drives me crazy but, it is something I have noticed. Despite the minor hiccups I've occasionally experienced I'm loving my MacBook. For my daily use it performs beautifully! It's smooth and seamlessly connects with all my other apple devices. It's easy to use and extremely portable. It's a million times better than the previous Dell and HP models I've used/owned in the past. I would whole heartedly recommend this MacBook to anyone looking for a work horse MacBook that holds up to long hour daily use.

    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.

    This is my first MacBook and I absolutely love it! I have officially gone over to the Apple side. It is so easy to use and a beautiful design. The battery life last longer than any other laptop I have owned in the past. The screen is vivid and easy on the eyes. It talks to the other devices that I already own which is super cool. The keyboard is a dream to type on and I am enjoying having lighted keys. I thought I would need to buy a separate mouse but the trackpad is so user friendly. No need to spend the extra money. My favorite thing about this laptop is how light and portable it is. It will be perfect for when I go back to college in the near future. I plan to use this laptop for many years to come.

    M1 Air 13 Fanboy!

    NOTE: I have a Mac Pro (Trash Can) with an Xeon processor and 32 GB RAM that I always have on my main setup. My Macbook Air is the mobile computer that I love. I am an engineer in a well-known company and industry and let me tell you that this is a perfect machine for daily use. The 13-inch form factor with an all-day battery is impressive, plus I wanted this for my daily job with regular code practices to keep myself sharp. This has been one of my favorite pieces of tech that I carry around all the time in my house without thinking that it will have power and need a charge (taking my mental stress away). I also spent 15 days on a 14' M2 Pro Macbook with 32GB ram 512 SSD, and a 15' M2 Air with 16 GB ram 512 SSD for another 15 days, I still chose this machine (added both memory and storage information because I have had a taste of power before this). If you need a laptop with an awesome battery and portability, and have a little money (or cloud syncs) to keep your data accessible and even dare say light development (YMMV: maybe cloud IDEs will be better, but if you are practicing you need those) go for it! PC: MKBHD (too lazy to transfer them from phone)

    I was hesitant to switch to Apple because it is a much different system. But, I love my phone and watch, and most of the employees at my job use Macbooks, so I decided to make the switch. I love it so much! It is fast, easy to use, and being able to link my watch and phone is nice as well. The size makes it portable. It is also lightweight and holds a charge well. As someone who debated this purchase because of the price, I would say I wish I had purchased one sooner.

    Absolutely the best laptop I've ever owned and the M1 chip is pronounced as one of the 5 most advancements in process computing by many PC magazines (ever). No loud fan, runs completely cool and the battery life is incomparable to most any devise which is battery powered! Thin and extremely light weight with a brilliant display. The first MacBook I've ever owned and will never go back to any other Laptops or books!

    Coming from a windows laptop this was a fresh of breath air. The m1 gives this laptop the responsive and easy of use of an iPhone. I found myself doing things I would usually do on my phone (because it turns on instantly) on my m1. The laptop gets a similar cpu score to my i7-9700 desktop which blows my mind. The laptop has no fans and is cold to the touch when doing anything light. It only got warm/hot when I benchmarked it. Personally, switching from windows has been amazing. I’m a student and all my apps work with Mac OS. I’ll have to get parallels later on so I am a little hesitant on running Windows on my Mac, but online tutorials say it works great. Battery life isn’t even a topic on this laptop. It suffers no drop in performance on battery and the battery lasts days unless constantly on it. As a student, forget about taking a charger to school. As a web browser and email checker, your machine will feel like it’s powered by the sun. Standard with Macs the speakers are increadible for the form factor. The keyboard is also realky nice and easy to get used to coming from windows. The keyboard also feels bigger than what I had on my old 15inch Lenovo. The finger print entry is also instant access into the laptop. I definitely prefer it to any face scanner as well cause I’m often in class with a mask on so faceID doesn’t make much sense. I doubt any windows laptop can compete. The display is super nice. Would appreciate a touch screen or 144hz, but I guess Apple wants to keep those features in the iPad Pro line up. The bezels are a little big for my taste, but the sleak design makes up for it. I bought the gold m1 air and put a black debrand skin on the top. Makes the laptop look very nice. Would recommend to any student that doesn’t need a gaming laptop (don’t recommend for architecture students). This laptop has more power than most people will ever need in a laptop, but put at an extremely competitive price. At this point, the only laptop that can compete is apples next laptop m2 or m1x.

    Let me start by saying that my family and I are HARD on products. 8 year-ago, my husband gifted me a new MacBook Pro. It took me a little bit to get acquainted with the OS but I quickly did. I shared that computer with my younger children (then aged 8 & 9). In these 8 years, our little laptop has seen a few states, a pandemic, dirty hands, a bunch of gaming websites, and been dropped more times than any of us are willing to admit. NEVER a virus or need for repair. I did replace a battery once and a few charging cords along the years (when the cats were young and bite-y)…but that has been it. My youngest child (now 16) had pretty much commandeered the laptop for the summer so I decided to buy a new laptop for myself as an early graduation present (I’m finishing nursing school in December). I didn’t even bother looking at anything other than the MacBook. Although I am a pragmatic person, this little MacBook Air is certainly attractive. Sleek, slender, and faster than lightning and screen is unbelievably clear. It does everything I need it to do and the charge lasts FOREVER. Here’s hoping I can get at least another 8 years out of this one.

    I got this MacBook from Best Buy and it's been awesome for school! It's super light, so I can carry it everywhere. The screen is really clear, which makes reading and watching stuff easy on my eyes. Although I know this computer is totally on the expensive side but it is so worth it. The best part is how fast it is. The M1 chip makes everything run quick, even when I have a lot of tabs open. The battery lasts all day, so I don't have to worry about charging it during classes. The keyboard is comfy to type on, and the trackpad works great. It also works well with my other Apple stuff, which helps me stay organized and on top of my schoolwork. Overall, this MacBook has really helped me do better in school. I totally recommend it!
