    This was my first Mac purchase and I love it. I sometimes feel like I’m not using it to its best if it’s ability because it’s so much to do on it. Easy to carry in a bookbag and doesn’t take much space at all. The battery life is also amazing it can go days without needing a charge. Speed is also fast to surf the web or stream

    I am extremely satisfied with the M1 MacBook Air. I had initially decided to purchase the M1 MacBook Air for school use only, but it has become my "daily driver" and I now use it in the business setting as well. The M1 MacBook Air was ready to go out of the box with about 70% charge in the battery. The battery life is amazing, and I get around 14 hours of power with constant use, multiple applications running and multiple safari tabs open at the same time. The M1 MacBook Air doesn't get hot despite not having an internal cooling mechanism like a fan which I appreciate because I don't have to listen to a fan whirring while trying to concentrate on work or study. The internal speakers are actually decent and the audio that is output has a rich, full bodied sound. The Retina display does a great job at projecting clear, crisp image and consuming content via YouTube, AppleTV, etc. is very enjoyable. If you're on the fence about purchasing the M1 MacBook Air like I was, you should definitely give it a shot and you may be pleasantly surprised with all the features you get for the price.

    This computer is conveniently small and portable, yet sturdy and well-made. It also handles my photography and video software without hesitation. I did not realize it came without usb or sd inserts but I bought an adapter to use all if my sd cards and usb drives. I also like that it matches my headphones.

    For a long time I have wanted a MacBook Air. Now that I finally have one, I feel like my tasks have lightened up. It’s easy to use, doesn’t heat up on me, and I’m able to perfectly multitask. I have not tried gaming with it, but I think it would be okay with some light games so long as they don’t take up all the storage (perhaps getting an extended storage would help with that). Soooo happy with my purchase!!!

    I have used this computer for over a week, the battery life is amazing, its super speedy with any tasks I encounter and I was surprised to see how well everything is. I upgraded from a 2017 mac book pro and with the M1 its such a good laptop and will possibly last long. It's also really pretty!

    Coming from a 2013 MacBook Air 13 spec'd out with the 512GB flash storage, i7 CPU, and 8GB of RAM, this is still a huge upgrade! My old MacBook Air would throttle from opening up Any Adobe software, iMovie, Garageband, etc. It would also take over half an hour just for some 2-4 minute clips I want to render. I ended up watching paint dry :( With the new M1 MacBook Air, it is super quiet (literally because no fans), doesn't overheat, and doesn't feel "glitchy" when it is on full load. Getting the BASE model is enough for the majority of consumers, especially students. Battery life is ridiculously good. I was impressed by not having to charge it for 2 weeks with casual usage. This blows my mind. Those of you who are worried about the Intel --> M1 arm transition shouldn't be because I was able to use all of the programs I had on my previous MacBook Air. Not trying to sound like an Apple fanboy, but as I am typing this on the M1 MacBook Air, I wanted to say big kudos to Apple for implementing the M1 successfully. Overall, would definitely recommend this to ANY student, writer, artist, or someone who wants to get into the Apple atmosphere. This is the best option for the best performance to price ratio with a screen and insane battery life. One more thing, if you stationed at home all the time, I highly recommend getting the M1 Mac Mini.

    I bought this for laptop going to my freshman year of college and it has performed greatly. I am now a senior in college and it's still performing greatly. It still holds a charge and can last me several days without having to charge it back up. I bought this laptop through Best Buy because there was a deal on it instead of buying it on Amazon or straight from the Apple Store. Picture quality is good sound, is great, portability is great. I am very deep in the apple ecosystem because of his laptop now. (I've also put a Dbrand Skin on it to give it some subtle style and protection from scratches.)

    Traveling while enrolled for online college coursework just became easier with my MacBook Air from Best Buy. Best Buy price matched the item and I had it within an hour. Traveled with it to Mammoth Lakes and Niagra Falls in Canada. Never missed a beat! The speed and clarity, along with presentation tools took mobile learning to another level. Everything you need, anywhere, all in your hands.

    Best laptop at an affordable price. I was on a budget and desperately needed a good laptop for work and studying. One day I was browsing and the internet looking for a good deal I even went to the Mac Store. Then suddenly I was browsing around the Best Buy website and there it was, the same MacBook Air I just saw at the Mac Store a few hours earlier at a better price, it was the same brand new one! I was amazed, and bought it right away. Best purchase ever! I even paid the 2 years Apple Care plan but haven’t used it since my MacBook Air looks and works is if I just bought it. If you are looking for a durable, great battery performance, fast efficient laptop, excellent display and graphics, I truly recommend this one right here, this is definitely my Best Buy in a long time.

    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.

    The best gateway entrance to the Mac

    I have always wanted a MacBook, ever since I was a little kid. But, there was always something that stopped me from getting one. They always mentioned that the Air wasn't very good, from 2011 all the way up to 2019, reviews always mentioned the multiple flaws MacBook Air had; from the thermal throttling, to the super small SSD (128 at base price), over $1000, then the Butterfly Keyboard etc. The list went on and on, and I really thought that it wasn't worth the money. Until, WWDC 2020, Apple announced they would start making their own chips straight from home, I was so excited for this new generation, it reminded me of the time when they went from PowerPC to Intel. The excitement was there, and I loved the new unibody that started in 2016, with the removal of unnecessary ports for the average Joe. Everything was the same, but the new M1 chip. That is when I realized that this M1 MacBook Air was the one for me. I didn't hesitate and started saving until I had enough to buy it. And, I absolutely made the best decision in purchasing it. It is amazing, it's super slim. portable, super fast processing speed and power. The screen is beautiful, the bezels are unnoticeable. The keyboard is outstanding, To be completely honest, this laptop makes you want to be more productive, just because of its speed and its ease of use. If you're thinking about purchasing a Mac, this by far is one of the better choices (and the cheapest nonetheless) The charger is also outstanding! 30w is all you need for this little thing Recommendation: I would just like to say that you should consider upgrading the SSD size, at least to 512GB, 256GB is fine, but you won't feel the need to download and have only the essentials, 512GB is such a sweet spot and won't have to worry about deleting things in the future. RAM upgrade I wouldn't recommend, unless you are a serious power hungry user.

    It’s Simple and does the job it’s supposed to do. I was a mostly a PC person, so getting used to the commands gets tricky, but I bought a shortcut sticker to help with that. I don’t perform a lot of tasks on it, other than wfh via a vpn. I have to use MS Teams messenger to communicate with team members, and screen sharing is clear. Using screenshare on my MacMini M1 isn’t clear. So odd. But there are no delays or lags and have no experienced any glitches. Sound is good. Watched a few streams and it’s crystal clear. I use it for hours so I have to charge it every so often after 6 hours or so. It’s light weight and easy to carry in my shoulder purse. I love that this will last me for quite sometime. I bought a case cover and a keyboard cover.
