    Really really good laptop and next customer service from best buy. I have my address written wrong on online purchase . So, it got delayed for a while but after I contacted to customer care they immediately got me one for store pickup. The laptop works brilliant and is really easy to carry with slim structure. Really helpful for students. Really enjoying my purchase. Battery life is great

    Beyond my expectations

    I recently bought the MacBook Air M1, base model. I am a programmer and I dedicate myself to making both mobile applications for Android and iOS, web applications and some game development with Unity. The use I give it is not exactly domestic. I have been able to have a node server running at the same time as Unity consuming information from the server, and it has no problems. I have also used Android and iOS emulators (which consume a lot) at the same time. The funny thing is that I bought it thinking of using it for a period of 6 months when the new MacBook Pro M2 Pro/Max comes out, and I think it will give up for the whole of 2023 without any problems. From what I'm having I don't think it's worth going to an M2 because the difference in power in the personal I don't think justifies the price. If you really need more power than the M1 can offer you with 16Gb of ram (I use 8 and it's impeccable), I highly recommend going for an M1 Pro. Greetings and I hope this can serve as a reference for other programmers who have doubts about the capabilities of this machine to work.

    The MacBook Air 2020 is a sleek and lightweight laptop that offers excellent portability. Its Retina display delivers sharp visuals, and the keyboard is comfortable to type on. With the transition to Apple's M1 chip, it provides impressive performance and power efficiency. However, it has limited ports and may not be suitable for heavy gaming or demanding professional tasks. Overall, it's a great choice for everyday use and productivity on the go.

    My daily driver is a Mac Studio so I was looking for a travel work computer. My number one priority was light weight. This Macbook Air is so easy to tote around because it barely weighs anything. I can carry it in one hand. It is small enough that I can enjoy watching movies on a plane by placing this on the food tray in front of the seat. The screen is beautiful and bright, pefect for watching HD movies. It can easily handle Excel spreedsheets and Word docs. Just a great all around laptop. I chose this over the newer M2 MacBook Air because I love the classic wedge design.

    Upgraded from a 2017 Air. Screen is visibly sharper, the processing speed is faster. I use a second screen, often with streaming news feeds or YouTube videos open, while working on items open on the laptop's screen. Sound is good too. Incredibly lightweight for travel, and I never worry the battery will quit before I do.

    I recently bought this MacBook Air 13.3" from Best Buy, and my satisfaction knows no bounds. This laptop has completely exceeded my expectations with its superb performance, unmatched portability, and exceptional battery life. Portability is where the MacBook Air truly shines. It's incredibly lightweight and compact, making it effortless to carry around. The 13.3" display offers a perfect blend of screen size and convenience. The laptop's display quality is outstanding, with vibrant colors and sharp resolution. True Tone technology ensures comfortable viewing in various lighting conditions. Additionally, the keyboard and trackpad are top-notch, enhancing productivity and usability.

    Pro Photographer, long time PC user... Mind Blown

    I've always been an avid PC user. I went to college and was actually instructed/learned on Mac. I thought it felt clunky, but then again I also was pushing deep familiarity bias. Assumptions and habits made me just get used to Windows and lean towards rejection of other options. It also didn't help that Apple's price point was a bit insane in 2008. Fast forward to 2021, now a professional photographer who utilizes my laptop constantly. Quick Response: "I'll never turn back" Does it do everything a Windows laptop can? Yes Does it have every single feature a Windows laptop has? No However, it's the "feel" that completely sets Mac apart from PC/Windows. From the hardware, ease of use and general navigation you just truly see incredibly fast that Apple takes deep attention to every detail very seriously. My best comparison is assuming PC/Windows laptops are a car, having a LOT of power under the hood. However, it was assembled by some idiot, who also decided to cut corners on the paint job. Does what it needs to do, but it looks/feels kind of crappy and you run into a bunch of small, annoying little issues that tend to add up when you utilize it daily. Just a few of my own personal favorite aspects, not to stretch out a website review too far. 1. Track Pad I have always used a mouse. Editing photos, it just increased my speed/accuracy to get through sets faster. Apple's trackpad on the MacBook has legit made me unplug my house. It's legitimately perfect, from functionality to feel of the haptic feedback I've never experienced anything like it. PC/Windows laptops have nothing that comes anywhere close to this. 2. Keyboard Same situation as the mouse. I basically avoided laptop keyboards like the plague. I would plug in an external and lay it over etc. Never going to happen with Macbook's keyboard on these laptops. Like the track pad it just feels/functions way better than anything I've ever used before. 3. M1 Chip It's fast. Like, really fast. I barely see anything hesitate like the chip is thinking, aside from a slight stutter when I open a larger app like Lightroom. To wrap this up, all I can say is at it's price point vs the competition you would be insane to go with anything else. Is iOS a bit of a learning curve? Yes, but I will confidently say I figured it out in a few days and was cruising through my work like I had never left PC. Hope the review helped!

    Absolute love the product get the job done, love the slick, futuristic style of the MacBook Air only downside is the ports Apple had got rid of the USB replaced it with a better USB-C however, been a contact designer the lack of the usb has slowed me down a little since I would have I stop mid work and go buy a adapt

    I’ve had this laptop for 2 years now and it’s still working really well. It’s quick, it’s silent, it stills lasts around 7-8 hours when it’s on battery mode. It’s only heated up on me once but that’s because I had like 20 applications on, many tabs on as well, along with my coding application on the side. It’s perfect, honestly.

    Took me a minute to figure out some stuff because it functions a bit different than my iPhone and my iPad but once I figured it out it’s easy to use, compact and works great. Only thing it didn’t have was a USB port but I bought an adapter and problem solved. Now I have 4 ports. I got the gold one. It’s pretty and beautiful display.

    My MacBook Air is Well-Designed and Convenient

    It's been awhile since I've had a Mac, and I forgot how well-designed these products are. The Air works wonderfully and the light weight and small size makes it easy to grab and take with me on the move. For some reason it's hard to successfully select and move items around using the track pad (and I don't remember that being an issue on previous Macs I've owned, so this was a surprise) but using a mouse resolves that pain point. One thing about Apple I've never understood is why there isn't an easy-to-see-or-use cut option along with their copy option when you right click on a file or item. Sometimes they don't even offer the copy option when I right click on certain files. I get around that with keyboard shortcuts, but it seems like a simple, essential feature for menu options when you right-click on a file. Of course, I'm not a power user of Apple computers, so maybe I'm missing something. I especially appreciate the way they've designed the iCloud to span across devices and computers. It's so amazingly easy to move files between my MacBook and my iPhone. It makes a lot of tasks much easier. Overall, the positives far outweigh any negatives.

    I really love it. Light, durable, capabilities are endless. This thing is quiet and quick. You can use it for anything you need, the exception being maybe some serious rendering. It’s perfect for everyday use be it for work or home. And the battery life is amazing.

    Great little laptop. There isn’t much that needs to be said other than it works perfectly and the integration with other apple products is amazing. For $750 I feel like it’s a great deal. It’s even faster than the base model MacBook Air m2 because the new m2 air has a slower ssd. Thumbprint reader works perfectly everytime. Laptop always boots right up from sleep, never get any random restarts. It’s small and compact yet has a heft to it that makes it feel like good quality. And it has great battery life! This ain’t going to play AAA games. But it can do light gaming. This ain’t a gaming machine anyways.

    I absolutely loved this product. I bought it so me and my boyfriend can get all of our homework and other things done. It very accessible and easy to use. This style is very lightweight which is great. The display is great!! I frequently watch Disney+, Netflix, YouTube and other streaming sites. The battery is almost still fully charged after 1 movie.
