    Hate it and wish I never bought it. Slow browsing. Rude people at Best Buy. HP makes a better and easier computer. With more power and memory for less money.

    Awesome All Around Device

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

    I have owned the MacBook Air since its release. I use the M1 MBA as my work/personal device. My primary workflow for work is mainly done through the Edge web browser. Through the browser, I complete my work through web apps; while occasionally I use apps from the Mac App Store. Since the MBA M1 is apple silicone, some ios apps can run on the MBA M1. This capability has allowed me to abandon my iPad Pro and use the MBA M1 as my sole device. What I love about the device is the portability, work production I can complete, and the all-day battery life. Because I am able to complete most of my work through the web, I can go sometimes two days before I have to charge the device; when trying to use my iPad for work I could barely make it through a day. For me, the MBA M1 provides a much better value than the iPad. As my work phone, I use the iPhone Se 2. The two devices speak very well with each other, and AirDrop allows me to transfer any file I need to with ease. If your workflow only requires one app at a time, then the iPad is the better choice. However, if you prefer a more multi-tasking workflow then the MBA m1 is the better choice.

    Just what I needed! It’s lightweight and sleek design is very nice, but it’s fast functions and easy to navigate apps and interface is what really makes this great for my back to school laptop!

    Overall Excellent Upgrade.

    Not just an excellent small laptop, but an excellent computer in general. This doesn't look that strong on paper, 8gb of ram, some processor made by apple and 256gb of storage. This thing is lightyears ahead of anything in it's price range. I sold my mid 2015 macbook pro 15 for this and it straight dusts my old mac in every situation. The screen has accurate color which is nice for photo editing, it's faster than you can imagine and the battery life is no lie. The only meaningful difference between this and the macbook pro 13 with the M1 chip is the cooling fan for the GPU and CPU. In sustained loads the macbook pro will do you better due to the fan. It keeps the CPU cooler and that allows it to keep its sustained boost clock through the duration of the project. So if you're exporting 4k video a lot go with the macbook pro, it'll save you time. If you only do that once in a while save some money and go with this. For what it's worth a monster of a gaming pc, and I still think this thing is fast, it really is impressive to say the least.
