    Updated review with more detail [after 2 weeks]. ** See additional note re color. I switched to Mac 11 years ago, and for that entire period, I had the same laptop, a Macbook Pro, late-2011 model. After the initial adjustment, it has been a great laptop for all of these years. I used it for school, work, online browsing, a few applications, and streaming videos. I have never gamed on my 2011 laptop. Of course, it slowed down considerably after several years, and software and hardware updates can only help so much with an older model. So, I finally decided to purchase a new laptop, and based on my research on recent macbook models, the price and value was right on this 2020 Macbook Air.

    Finally, thrilled to be able to take a computer into any room in my house to work. Apple products seem to exceed all others because of the lower risk to my personal information. The color selection was appreciated also.

    Excellent light weight machine for daily tasks. I’ve been using MacBooks exclusively for the last 8 years and nothing matches it’s ease with iOS and security features. You don’t get office 365 build in though. Other than that I wouldn’t buy anything but an Apple.

    This is a great value for the amount that I paid and the ability this computer has to perform on pro apps like final cut and compressor for light video editing. For everyday tasks, some light video editing, and a powerful battery that legit lasts all day, this is good buy for under 1k; I got the gold color that looks fancy lol.

    Buying a MacBook pickup at Best Buy was a fantastic experience. The staff at Best Buy were friendly and helpful, making the process smooth and easy. The MacBook itself is a top-notch device, with its sleek design and powerful performance. Overall, I highly recommend it!

    Amazing computer. Dead silent, fast loading, amazing resolution and great for any small business ventures. I'm very happy with this purchase as a whole. One down side is only having 3 ports on the computer, 2 usb-c and 1 headphone. So to use an sd card, or a USB you have to spend another $110 in adapters. But that's just Apple in general haha.

    Overall an extremely well made product. It runs cool and remains reliable as I’ve owned the device for the past three years. It’s incredible to see it still match up to the new releases. It was worth the investment in initial release and I still bear the fruits of my time spent on the air.

    Had for over 2 years now, I’ve used it everyday & it still works great. Recently started using adobe apps like Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere pro and was surprised to see how well the MacBook Air was holding up! I had no lag & the fan never goes off. Its the best purchase i’ve ever made

    I am obsessed with my new Mac. I’m currently in nursing school and wanted an upgrade from my Chromebook. I already had an iPad so I decided to get a Mac so everything could be connected. I was not disappointed. Easy to navigate. Long battery life.

    I recently had a intel MacBook Pro prior to this and I got to say performance is night and day to the intel model. Battery life is excellent, Mac OS Big Sur runs really well, hardware is familiar but the chip makes everything faster and well balanced. For anyone looking for a new MacBook this and the M1 Air will not disappoint!!!

    It's a great laptop. The M1 chip lives up to its potential. The battery lasts all day without having to recharge. I've also used it for light gaming and it has not gotten even a tab bit warm. Great performance for such a small laptop.

    This is my first laptop from Apple. At first I was skeptical about how much I'd enjoy it but it's been the perfect device for me. It syncs great with my iPhone, has a great battery life, and is faster than I even need! Would recommend.

    Replaced my 10-year-old MacBook Air & I am so happy. The new one has many improvements, for example in the grammar & spelling corrections. Speed is greatly improved. Unfortunately the USB port is different so I had to buy an adapter to look at any old flash drives. Not sure why they did that, but since it’s Apple, I’m sure there was a good reason.

    Light and versatile device, easy to carry and the weight does not tire the shoulders. Image quality is exceptional, with no loss of quality when looking diagonally. The processor, even though it is the M1, combined with the SSD, does not compromise performance for daily use.

    I’m very pleased with this MacBook. It costs a pretty penny, but so well worth it. Lightening fast speed, several free downloads and has several components that are compatible to Windows software applications. It’s slimline build makes it extremely lightweight and can easily be carried anywhere.

    Pretty fast little MacBook Air and Im extremely happy with my purchase. I totally love the color and how lightweight it is. Would recommend purchasing the memory upgrade to get it up to 16 Gb if you are going to be using heavy duty software but otherwise a great laptop for light tasks as surfing the web, checking email and Facebook.
