Customer Ratings & Reviews

Although purchasing this M1 Macbook Air 3 years from its release, this is indeed still very good for what it is. It has the Touch ID, great keyboard, fast for its specs, great screen, and I actually like the old Macbook Air design. Since this will be the last generation, I am glad to have purchased it knowing it will last a very long time. Although I wish I could have more SSD storage, I also know how to minimize space on the SSD and utilize cloud storage. Very light and portable and great battery life. Highly recommended and you should wait until deals come out. You can get it for $749! It's a steal for that price.

I bought this as a personal laptop to use along side my work laptop (a MacBook Pro). For all intents and purposes, it's just as fast and reliable as my Pro, and significantly cheaper. It has no internal fan so doesn't ever get loud like the pro does, and surprisingly it has never gotten overly hot or overheated despite being used for hours at a time. It's just as fast, if not faster than the pro, which is one of the selling points for the M1 Chip. Speaking of, as usual, Apple has gotten greedy and decided to no longer rely on outside CPUs (Intel), as my pro and previous models did. Performance/speed is the big differentiator between the processors, but I don't use this computer for much of anything where this increase is super noticeable. Sure, programs load a bit faster, but the difference isn't super noticeable, to me at least. One BIG con to the M1 chip for me, is that I've already noticed that it's less functional when it comes to certain things. For instance, I have multiple external monitors that I constantly hook up to both my work and personal computer. Intel allows for the Pro to operate on multiple screens without any external drivers. The M1 Chip however, currently only supports the ability to use ONE external monitor. I thought at first that something was wrong with my Air when I first got it home and could only get one monitor to work, despite having two monitors connected, the same way I do with my Pro. I ended up researching this though and found that the M1 chip simply does not support this. However, apparently this is something that Apple has mentioned should be available later, via an IOS update. While I hope this is true, Apple hasn't exactly been open and honest about upgrading current features/abilities, so I'm not holding my breath (do yourself a favor and check forum boards relating to calendar in pane on the Apple Outlook app, a feature that's VERY valuable on the PC version that has hundreds of thousands of requests, but Apple still won't make this simple update). If they do upgrade the M1 chip in a timely manner, then my review would go to 5 Stars. However, if this and other updates aren't made, I'd say that you're better off going with a previous model with the latest Intel Core processor.

As a 66-year-old woman embarking on a new journey into graduate school, I sought a reliable companion to accompany me on this academic endeavor. The Apple 13.3" MacBook Air has proven to be just that and more. First and foremost, its lightweight design is a blessing for my aging shoulders, allowing me to effortlessly transport it between classes and study sessions. The Retina display is a marvel to behold, providing clarity and sharpness that my tired eyes truly appreciate during long hours of reading and research. What truly sets this laptop apart is its seamless performance. Powered by the Apple M1 chip, it handles my scholarly pursuits with grace, effortlessly juggling multiple tabs, documents, and applications without skipping a beat. This is particularly valuable as I navigate the demands of graduate-level coursework and research. The keyboard is a joy to type on, with keys that offer just the right amount of tactile feedback, making extended writing sessions a breeze. Additionally, the trackpad's precision and responsiveness enhance my productivity, allowing for seamless navigation through documents and web pages. Despite my initial apprehension about adapting to new technology, the MacBook Air's user-friendly interface and macOS Catalina have made the transition remarkably smooth. From organizing my schedule with ease to collaborating with classmates, this laptop has become an indispensable tool in my academic arsenal. In conclusion, the Apple 13.3" MacBook Air has exceeded my expectations as a mature scholar. Its combination of portability, performance, and user-friendly design has made my graduate school experience both productive and enjoyable.

Hello from a former Windows laptop user! My Dell laptop was getting a bit dated and lugging it around (15.6” behemoth) was getting old. I was looking for a new, slim Windows laptop running an i7 and a bright screen. Everything I looked at was in the 1000+ range with compromises if I wanted to stay right around 1K. After watching a number of reviews on Macs (and more importantly this M1 Air) I was sold. Luckily Best Buy was running a promo on open box items and I was able to get this in like new certified condition for $780. It came as advertised and setup was quick and easy since I already had an Apple ID as an iPhone user. The transition from Windows to Mac was relatively easy. Using Linux in the past proved to be beneficial. For those who have only ever used Windows XP to Windows 10, it might take a bit to adjust. Bottom line, I love everything about this laptop. It’s thin, fast, has an incredible screen and battery life is amazing.

it’s been a little over 2 years since i have had this laptop and i STILL love it! it is so light, thin and convenient to carry around! this is my second laptop through Apple and i may even be upgrading because of how great the product works!! definitely recommend to everyone i know.

This is my first Macbook purchase and my first time using Apple OS as my primary operating system. I do have an iMac but I hardy ever used as I primarily used a laptop. The price of a Mac has always been a primary reason why I never got one. After years of using PC laptops I decided to take the plunge and go with the Mac. I am not disappointed. The battery life on this is amazing. Even with doing video calls and watching movies it still keeps going. None of my PCs could ever to that. The only con is that it has only two USB-C ports and no SD card slot, it does have a headphone jack) I had to buy an adapter that gave my three USB ports, and HDMI port and a slot for a SD card. I knew that going in as my son bought the same macbook a few months earlier. I've had it for about three weeks and I can't say that I have had no issues with software compatibility or operation. Really love the light weight, lighted keyboard and size.

My bf bought this Mac since mine broke, and i was impressed with the quality a d the speed. It does what it needs to do! I love it!

This Mac takes everything there is to love about Apple to the next level. Better battery.✔️More power.✔️ Greater graphics.✔️Dynamic display.✔️Superior speed.✔️ With do much performance packed into such a portable laptop, what’s not to love.

Great laptop. I’ve been an MB Air user since 2011. That machine still works. I've used the new one for over 2 years, and it represents the aesthetics, functionality, size, and beauty that made me fall for the original MBA. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of ordering another that only had 256 GB of storage capacity (thinking I had all of the memory I needed with cloud storage), but today, IMO, 256GB is not enough to run the operating system, browse the Internet, and have basic software applications loaded. I highly recommend purchasing a MacBook Air just due to its overall functionality, but in doing so, please get one with enough memory to handle your intended purpose.

I purchased the M1 MacBook Air a month ago. I had a few issues getting multiple monitors working on it, but it didn't take long to do some reading online and figure it out. I love how light it is and how long the battery lasts. I know there are M2 versions out now, but this laptop is plenty fast. I primarily used Windows machines in the past, so I was a little nervous about finding programs to do the things I want to do. So far that hasn't been an issue. My old Windows laptop is sitting in the closet now. if you have other Apple products, everything just works together. I love how the passwords I have in my keychain on my phone and tablet are now on my computer too.

A great laptop that combines awesome performance, portability, and outstanding battery life. Just wish there were more ports. There are just two USB C ports.

Great value, sleek case, no fan, quick start, good battery life. Bright screen, responsive keyboard, great track pad (no need for mouse). Bought another for a graduation gift.

I've owned a dozen or so Macbooks in my life and they just keep getting better. This is a solid machine. Speedy, compact, designed extremely well. The M1 chip is spectacular. Great battery life and for the apps that are built to support it, amazing fast.

The Apple MacBook 13-inch is a sleek, compact laptop that delivers impressive performance with its M1 or M2 chip, depending on the model. It offers a sharp Retina display, long battery life, and a smooth keyboard experience, making it a great option for everyday tasks, light creative work, and casual gaming. The build quality is top-notch, and macOS adds to its overall smooth user experience. However, it might be limiting for users who need more processing power or larger storage options. Overall, it's an excellent choice for portability and efficiency, particularly for users in the Apple ecosystem.

The MacBook Air with M1 chip is a masterpiece of technology that sets a new standard for laptops. With its stunning design, brilliant display, blazing-fast performance, and exceptional battery life, it's a versatile companion for work, creativity, and entertainment. Whether you're a professional on the go or a student in need of a reliable study companion, the MacBook Air delivers on every front, making it a worthy investment for anyone seeking the best in portable computing.

I have been using windows-based laptops for over 20 years. I work in healthcare, and decided to switch to a MacBook Air due to it being easier to configure HIPAA-compliant security features. Although it did take me some time to get used to a different operating system, I am happy I made the switch! The MacBook Air works great for videoconferencing, is fast, and really holds its charge for a long time! I got a great Black Friday deal, so the price was great! I am very happy with my purchase.

This is my first MacBook and i am loving it! It is for personal use and school and there have been no issues. It’s fast and the battery life is amazing, great speakers and looks sleek.

Really everything I need from a laptop, and I'm usually a Windows guy. The M1 chip these are equipped with outpaces any similarly priced laptops in terms of performance, and arguably more importantly, battery life. The build quality's great, the size is perfect, and the keyboard is leagues better than their previous butterfly model. And even though the laptop I ordered was the base model, the specs Included will be unnoticable to almost anyone through normal usage. Overall, for your money, you can't go wrong with this laptop.

Amazing product. It has a very impressive battery life and it is very fast! I am relieved I don’t have to worry about my laptop heating up and the fan sounding like it’s about to take off. Lol

Runs fast, long lasting battery, lightweight, and the perfect laptop to travel with. This is the best and most ideal work/school laptop for the price.
