    Battery life & M1's task efficiency vectors serve their purpose in allowing me to work for hours on end (sometimes the entire day 8-11 hours) before needing a charge. We know MBA's are known for their portability, but the gap is closing for benchmark efficacy between it and the MBPs thanks to Apple's SoC.

    A wonderful product. I needed to replace my old desktop computer with a laptop. I still need to update my laptop. I plan on doing that with the Geek Squad ASAP.

    Love this MacBook Air. I purchased it because I’m starting a business and I was recommended to buy this for the features it has. It comes in handy when I’m designing and editing projects. It’s so lightweight, the display is nice and clear and offers so many great features. Glad I made this purchase so far.

    I was hesitant on getting this, but I shouldn’t have been! This Air is an incredible machine. I’m a programmer and the M1 chip crushes everything I throw at it with no hesitation. I can spend all day programming, 8am-5pm, on a single charge and still have battery to last until I go to bed. Amazing!

    Apple Macbook Air with M1 Chip is super quick to boot up and open any app on the computer. The process is so much better than my previous Macbook Pro.

    Bought for my wife and she really likes. She is used to Apple computer and she said this one works very well, also looked for one with the latest M1 chip which they said performs better. No issues so far just wish it had at least 512GB for standard version.

    The screen display had to be replaced within a little over a year. Buy the Applecare plan. I did not. I have to pay about half the cost the laptop cost for the repair which Apple will hold for until you can get it out but it’s a process. I have a small business and it was impacted so I experienced a loss of income so it is taking me time to get it out. Even with that said the laptop itself is good aside from that issue. Good battery life, good on storage, etc… anyway buy apple care + plan

    Great value. May not be the latest version, but for the casual user the quality and performance are great! Easy to use and access add-on are easy—just note usb-c ports and not regular usb.

    I purchased this base model as I am just coming back to Mac OS after several years to re-learn the operating system. This MacBook Air is well built. In addition, it is very fast for my day to day tasks. It also has excellent battery life. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a first Mac. I am very satisfied.

    I bought this MacBook Air to replace my MacBook Pro. MacBook Air is lighter, battery seems to last longer, and keyboard is easier to use. Also it is true that this computer does not get hot/warm, after hours of use stays cool and don't seem to get warm/heat up...nice

    Happy with the purchase and especially the trade in policy of best buy is far better than Apple store. This laptop is faster and lighter than the previous one. You need to purchase a separate jack for connecting your phone if you prefer cable your phone charger wont work with this one.

    Everything was great quality! The laptop itself is great and I believe it fares well against even newer counterparts. It's light, feels comfortable to use, and is very worth the price. If you're looking for a laptop that will provide you all the same features as "newer" models, this is the answer.
