    MacBook Air M1, 2020

    Really like the MacBook Air. I like how it connects with my iPhone. Still getting used to Apple's way of doing things after years of using Windows, but I was expecting that. The size is basically a little bigger than my wife's iPad, but I think my MacBook Air is lighter! Great screen. I did buy accessories so I would not be limited by the two Thunderbolt ports; that is a negative, but, again, I knew that going into the purchase.

    I hesitated for a long time making this purchase. I kept giving myself every reason to not buy an expensive laptop. But it was worth every single penny. I LOVE my MacBook. The Touch ID is super cool. It starts up right away. Battery lasts FOREVER. And I LOVE the color. And the communication between the MacBook and iPhone is so cool. I can pull up whatever I’m looking up on one device on the other with ease. I’m so happy with my purchase.

    I own two Mac Airs. One from 2014 and this one. I would like to compare the two because I feel there are some features on the older version that are more desirable. 1. The Battery The new Mac battery lasts forever and charges quickly with a USB-C port. I favor the older magnetic charger but that's a small thing. 2. Display The new display is very clear however, the screen extends to the very edge of the device similar to the iPhone. So if you drop this device you're screwed. I dropped my 2014 and it dented the edge of the screen but didn't break the glass because of the extra aluminum edge. I don't think the new Mac screen would survive this.3. The web camThe 2014 is very dark for some reason. The new Mac seems to have fixed this issue with a nice and clear video. 4. USB ports The 2014 has 2 USB-A ports, a lighting connection port, phone jack and an SDXC card slotThe new Mac only has two USB- C ports and a headphone jack! so you need a number of adapters to connect anything which is quite annoying especially since my wireless mouse uses an old USB-A Apple only sells limited adapters so you need to buy PC adapters which I'm not crazy about. However I have a dual USB-A adapter from Dell that works great 5. The ChipThe M1 chip is lighting fast. Even though my 2014 has an 1.4 Ghz dual core 15, it doesn't compare.6. The famous logolt's another little thing but, I liked the illuminated apple logo on the back of the 2014. Maybe its no longer there to extend battery life? Idk but I thought it was a nice feature that separated apple from the rest.

    A gift for a highschooler. Since the high school uses all Apple products, this integrates perfectly into that ecosystem. It has the performance to keep up with all the demands, and is compact and lightweight enough to be mobile very easily.

    Best computer purchase I ever decided to make. I absolutely love this computer. It’s so sleek and fast. Don’t know why I ever went another brand before. Best Buy made the purchasing process so simple too. If you’re on the fence, just get it!

    Nice mac for a decent price. Being a long time windows user, I was skeptical in buying Mac and difficulty in switching over to new layout. But after an initial struggle, im very comfortable and not going back.

    I haven’t used a Mac in a long time, so this was a breath of fresh MacBook Air. I use this primarily for 3d printing and this thing is amazing. I will never go back to a pc. Beautiful screen, Touch ID is super fast, programs run flawlessly, battery life is superb. I will cherish this impulse purchase with 0 buyer’s remorse. Go get one!

    Son needed to be able run Adobe graphics for college graphic arts projects and Apple is far superior v. Surface Pro. Easy setup as he already had an iPhone/iCloud account. Very happy with this and should last for rest of university career. Only issue is no USB port; one has to buy an adapter/hub, which is really not right at this price point. Thankfully, a Best Buy $100 student discount was given!

    Had a broken 2012 MacBook Pro and decided to upgrade. My apple store didn’t have the pink MacBook Air in stock but luckily our nearest Best Buy did. The associate helped me get up to speed with modern tech and explained the warranty to me. Easiest purchase I’ve ever made! Happy with my new laptop!!! If you’ve been on the fence about whether do go for it, just do it! Support Best Buy at that.

    I am new to Apple computers but not the Apple franchise. Since I understand how my phone works and I didn’t want an ipad, the next inclination was to go to a computer. I find it so easy to use and understand. Set up for a beginner was very easy. The computer is fast, and easy to understand. I was worried coming from a PC. I recommend this to anyone. The only thing is Apple hasn’t figured out how to get the phone apps to work on the computer as promised.

    Bought this for my daughter last year for her first year in college, she absolutely loves this laptop. It is light weight, secure, compatible with her iPhone and has a great battery life. Buying another one this year for my other daughter who is heading off to college in late August.

    I absolutely love this MacBook! One of my favorite things about it is the sleek and attractive design. It is slim, light, and easy to travel with which makes it perfect for work. I always carry it with me wherever I go. It is fast, reliable, and overall a wonderful laptop. The keyboard is also "soft" which makes typing that much easier of a task. I feel this is overall just a wonderful laptop.
