Upgraded from 2015 MacBook Pro that was slowing down on me. Was a bit hesitant due to lack of ports but honestly has not been an issue. If you do use a flash drive often, then can simply use a port hub.
The battery life is insane. It can last a week week on a single charge with light usage (1-2 hours/day), still holds up 2-3 days with more extended use.
The new M1 chip is the best thing apple has ever done after inventing iphone. It can handle intense multitasking with multiple browser windows full of youtube vids, as well as editing with Finalcut Pro. Render times are very fast and does not slow down other tasks.
At the time of purchase it was on sale for $800 with student pricing. The next week it was $750. For the price I paid I am extremely satisfied. Would recommend it when it's on sale again to anyone and everyone. Maybe not for hardcore video editing or programming, but will fit the needs of the other 95%.

This beautiful Apple computer is sleek, elegant and fast. Very easy to use, and it has excellent color and sound. This is the best computer that I have owned. You can give voice commands which makes for efficiency and ease in communication. Price is good too! It’s top rated and that got me on board immediately. You won’t regret this purchase!

Apple always knows how to make a gorgeous and sleek product. This item is no exception. I am absolutely amazed at how fast it is, the lack of fan noise, and the responsiveness of the touchpad. No one makes a touchpad as well as Apple.
This is a wonderful "light-duty" ultra portable laptop that will meet or exceed most individual's daily needs. If you are in the market for one, you will be more than happy with this purchase.
It should be noted that I originally purchased the Rose Gold color, but that was a bit harsh on my eyes. The Space Grey is a much more neutral and desirable tone for me. Never any questions about the return - and in and out within a few moments. I will give credit where credit is due.

Really a great but from Apple. The only thing to keep in mind is the M1 chipset is so new, it lacks compatibility with most programs I’ve tried to install and run. I’m sure Apple will have a patch for this soon. Incredibly fast, beautiful display and easy to use. Expect nothing less from Apple. Pair it with the new Magic Mouse and you’ll thank me later.

The Macbook Air is a fast computer, light weight, perfect for business. Love the touch id sign in no password necessary! Battery life is great. I have only charged my laptop twice since I bought it and have had it over a month.

Daughter loves this MacBook, got them on sale and ease of use with all applications and the form factor make it an easy choice for reliable laptop that’s not going crap out on your kid and end up having to buy another one. M1 chip made a huge difference, battery lasts forever, doesn’t weigh anything and the screen is perfect for the price point.

Great lab top, functions well and speed is very good. Wished it had a more durable screen. My screen broke fairly easy from a minor fall.

A fantastic laptop with 7-8 hour battery life using Zoom, email, messaging, and web browser. Performance in Logic Pro is phenomenal supporting over 80 simultaneous instruments! All without a fan and only 8 GB RAM!
It’s way faster than my 2018 MacBook Pro 15 with longer battery life, much better keyboard and still an excellent screen though slightly smaller.

I've been a Mac user for nearly 18 years now and I have to tell you of the many, many Mac's I've owned in that time this might be the most impressive. I have to admit I was incredibly skeptical when Apple announced they were replacing Intel with their own chips. I couldn't imagine why Apple would even think to do that even though Intel had really stalled in development and focus the past few years.
With that said, the MacBook Air I purchased is the base model 8GB/256 SSD in Gold as a replacement for my 16" MacBook Pro. I wanted something smaller and from what I read the M1 chip was incredibly fast and efficient. Boy that wasn't a lie. I am amazed at how fast this computer is compared to even my last MBP. It opens applications before the blink of an eye and it never gets hot while doing it. The computer is lightweight, efficient, and never breaks a sweat. I'll enjoy this one.

Nothing beats a MacBook! Super easy to use and works quick and easy. I love that I can’t air drop and screenshot everything I need and all of my other devices connect to it. Super sleek.

I was reluctant to drop from my 16" MacBook Pro to a MacBook Air, but this is one of the best purchases I have made. It's as efficient as my older MacBook Pro and more portable. The size is perfect. It is fast and allows me to do photo and graphic editing with ease. I have yet to find something I'm not able to do with ease and efficiency.

I love this MacBook! If you want something that is streamline and fast then this is the laptop for you. I use it for schoolwork as well as streaming movies. It is able to open may things at once without slowing down and when it is unplugged the battery lasts for a long time.

The MacBook Air is awesome!
Apple has made a product worth bragging about.
The M1 makes the computer run smooth and I can't believe how quiet it runs and stays cool. I am definitely glad I bought the M1 MacBook Air and know it will last for years. My last MacBook Pro is still running but extremely slow. I have had it for 7-8 years.

Purchased this MacBook Air for general use. Definitely lightweight. I love that it can connect to my IPad Pro and I can use it as a second screen. It has a backlit keyboard which is a nice feature. Setup is super easy if you already have an iCloud account plus you can use finger id to unlock. Definitely worth the price!
