    Fast, great display and battery life. Setting it up could have been more intuitive and the instructions could have been clearer but I figured it out and am happy.

    Impressive first entry into Apple Silicon

    I have had this laptop for nearly a month, and have charged it twice. The instant wakeup when the lid is opened is very addictive. To be fair, I have only used this for 30-60 minutes a day since then, but the battery life is still quite amazing. I downloaded the rosetta software to get a few intel based apps installed, and it works just fine with no noticeable lag. Of course I am not using rosetta to enable video editing! I have been impressed with the Apple M1 architecture on this laptop. In the Apple space, this laptop is a good value and perfectly acceptable for Msft Office and Web Browsing uses.

    Pleasantly Surprised-Former Windows Based User

    The MacBook Air is fast, super light and intuitive. I have been a Windows based computer user for over 30 years and dreaded anything apple based but I was pleasantly surprised. The connection with my Iphone was seemless and intuitive. Computer starts fast, loads app fast..I have no issue there. I do however seem to have an issue which requires me to update my apple id password so perhaps there's is a glitch or some connectivity issues that I have not yet uncovered causing this requirement to reset my password.

    This MacBook Air is so much better than any Windows laptop I have ever had. It has fast 8 core CPU, 8 GB ram, 256 SSD, bright Retina display, and the list goes on its just perfect. It is so powerful that it can render a 30 minute iMovie in 4 minutes! I love this machine. Please don’t waste your time and money with Windows laptops only unless if you want a laptop for gaming. For everything else specially video editing and photo editing get this MacBook Air.

    I always thought windows was the way to go, but after many disappointing windows laptops, i decided to try a mac. Everything runs fast and smooth, and an incredibly long lasting battery. I thought it might be a little small, but im glad i went with it. I have no complaints.

    Highly recommend this cheaper 2020 model!

    This is a 2020 MacBook Air purchased in 2022. It's perfect and it doesn't feel like it's 2 years old. It's actually superb. Long-lasting battery, amazing speed and instant wake-up with a fingerprint scan. I love that I don't have to remember a million passwords, either. It's all done with the fingerprint scan. But if you don't want to use the fingerprint feature, you can always enter your passwords. My only surprise (because I didn't research anything beforehand) is that Apple stopped adding USB ports to their devices in 2016. This Mac has two C ports and zero USB ports. This is not a problem because nowadays everything is either cloud or C. Also, my favorite flash drive is dual C and USB that I use on both my phone AND my new Mac. I also purchased a small $15 dongle with a variety of ports, just in case. This 2020 MB Air also has a headphone jack, which is a relief! I don't like wireless headsets. I only use cheap headphones because I lose them constantly. I was looking to upgrade an older, slower model and this is the perfect fit.

    Bought as an upgrade to my 2017 MacBook Air. Really wanted to experience the power of the M1 chip over the intel. Night and day performance difference between the two. Screen looks much better, battery life is better. Touch ID is nice, but doesn’t work after reboot until you put in password again so that’s a bit annoying. I miss the MagSafe charging, too. USB hub is probably going to be mandatory for most users as well.

    Why shop at Apple Stores?

    This is the third Mac I purchased this year! I also like the new M1 chip and things seem to run faster and smoother. I had a silver one previously but they were not available so I got the space gray one instead. I like it better than the silver and doesn't show smudges as much as the silver one.Since I loved mine so much I decided to get one for my husband and daughter! Best Buy is such seamless shopping and will match prices found lower at other retailers. Staff is very knowledgeable and patient. I have purchased my Macs previously at the Apple Store but not happy with follow ups as much as Best Buy.
