    I can't say enough good things about the M1 chip. The performance this laptop delivers is absolutely insane. This thing even outperforms my desktop gaming PC in some CPU tasks. Not to mention the battery life is easily 15+ hours on a charge. It never gets hot, and there is no fan noise. Apple has made a truly impressive computer with this one. It really is the ultimate laptop

    I got this computer when it was $799.99, and at that price, it was a good deal. I easily get at least 6hrs of use from it , and the M1 still keeps up with my workload. Only thing i dont like about it is the lack of ports, only has 2 usb c ports and a headphone jack, but this is the air, so it is fine.

    Efficiency Beyond RAM - A Developer's Delight

    The 8GB RAM on this MacBook performs as robustly as 16GB on a Windows system. The efficiency of the Mac processor coupled with its sleek design is remarkable. Its lightweight build makes it effortlessly portable and ensures easy cooling, while its durability and top-notch construction stand out. Remarkably lightweight, this laptop's portability is matched only by its excellent cooling capacity and top-tier durability. In comparison analysis against similarly priced laptops, the MacBook outperforms, boasting 20% faster processing speed and 30% better cooling efficiency. This laptop is an absolute recommendation for developers, designers, and everyday home users alike. I found it exceptional. Even if you have a budget of around $600-700, I strongly advise considering the slight stretch to invest an additional $200 for this outstanding product. It's truly worth it

    The Best, Lightweight Laptop at the Right Price

    This MacBook Air is the perfect laptop at the ideal price point for everyday tasks (web browsing, email, Office worksheets) and portability. The newish M1 chip gives the Air power and a quick, responsive feel. It also makes the battery more efficient and last longer. The Retina screen is bright and crisp, although a step down from the MacBook Pro's new mini-LED. The rumor is that Apple will release a newly redesigned Air with a new processor in the first half of 2022. But I needed a secondary work laptop now for portability and travel, and this Air is ideal. I also picked it up on sale and got a great deal from Best Buy. This checked all the boxes -- light, powerful, long battery life, high screen resolution and, of course, price.

    I purchased the MacBook Air 13" M1 on sale in 2023, and it’s been fantastic for work! The performance is still going strong—fast, smooth, and reliable, even with multiple apps running. The battery life is impressive, easily lasting through a full day of productivity. The lightweight design makes it perfect for carrying to meetings or working on the go. For the discounted price, it’s been an absolute steal, handling everything from spreadsheets to creative tasks effortlessly. Highly recommended if you can grab it on sale!

    Really enjoying this computer and all it has to offer. Have had 2 different pc laptops in the last 10 years touted as "high capacity" but were just were not up to par on some of the task I use them for including pictures, docs, spread sheets, etc Took forever to load, run. etc. This MACBook Air with the Apple M1 chip..WOW. Amazing. Fast, holds a lot of data, battery life is astounding. Delivered quickly and set up was a breeze and user friendly. Also love the lightweight feel.

    The M1 MacBook is a groundbreaking device, combining incredible performance, efficiency, and battery life in a sleek package. While the design is familiar and the ports are limited, the internal upgrades far outweigh these minor drawbacks. Whether you’re a student, creative professional, or everyday user, the M1 MacBook is a compelling choice, offering excellent value for its price. Ratings: • Performance: 10/10 • Battery Life: 10

    This computer is so great! The M1 chip processor is awesome fast. Love the Gold color. Save me a lot of money buying a case or cover. Touch ID helps me open the program as fast as a lightning. The display resolution is so crisp...color is so vibrant! The whole computer is very light and portable. I can easily bring it anywhere in the house. It charges really fast, and the battery takes days to go low. I really, really love my new MacBook Air Laptop!

    This little "entry level" Macbook has effectively been a full recording studio for me for the last several months or so and, while there are certain things you have to work around like the 8GBs of RAM and the incredibly small 256GB storage, it has been almost completely trouble-free. Very portable, very powerful, only thing I would change would be that next time I will get a larger display. It hasn't had any real issues with Logic, plug-ins, web surfing, video editing, or any of the other things people typically buy a Mac for. I love this thing and will likely upgrade to a newer Macbook Air within the next year. That being said, for being 5 years old, this thing is fast and keeps up well with the projects I'm working on.

    10/10 would buy again

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    **I bought this in store, so I'm not going to show as a verified buyer.** I've used MacBooks in the past; I own an iMac 21.5", AirPods, Apple TV, iPad and iPhone and have been using a w10 laptop for gaming and general use. I had some extra spending money and decided to finally get a MacBook Air, and I'm not disappointed! I've used them in the past, but this is a major improvement from the last I've used. I went with the rose gold mainly because it matches my iPad and honestly, I didn't want to spend 1,300 for another desktop. I wanted this mostly for when I'm out/travel. My only requirements are a good laptop that's fast, loads quickly and is close to what I use on a daily basis. I recently bought an 8TB external drive (tl;dr - my 8 year old external died and I lost all my games for windows which is why I got it), and if space is an issue (I went with the 256 HDD) I'll most likely use that. The Touch ID is going to be incredibly useful and I'm a fan already of the lack of a power button. is it comparable to the 16" MBP? Probably not. That's not what I was looking for. If it was my primary computer I would have considered it, but it's not. It's what I need when I'm away from home. I don't edit photos/video too much, and I don't require as much space as possible. But something I can listen to my music on, stream twitch or YouTube, and have a laptop that's not running into issues more times than it doesn't. it fits my needs, and that's exactly what I got it for. And really, you can't go wrong getting a MacBook for less than $1,100. So 10/10 would definitely buy again. I'll add more photos in the next few days. For now, here's a closeup of the (improved?) MacBook Air logo.
