    The M1 chip in these MacBooks are incredible! Everything is extremely fast and efficient. Battery life lasts forever and have not experienced any performance issues. Definitely and upgrade from my previous MacBook Air.

    Great computer, excellent easability. Only gripe, would be although it’s not a gaming computer, playing simple steam games is nearly impossible due to MAC games being limited versus Microsoft accepted ones. Work around are Xbox cloud gaming.

    I have been using it for a month now and am very happy with it. This is the first new Macintosh I have bought in a decade. I was reluctant to buy it because I don't like how Apple keeps taking away ports. All this has is two USB-C ports and a headphone jack so I had to buy adapters separately. They should at least have a USB port and an SD card slot. I shouldn't have to go looking for adapters every time I want to plug something in. Other than that this is the best laptop I have ever owned. Eight GB of RAM is plenty for my needs and the sharp screen is a big upgrade from the PC laptop I had been using. I would recommend it to anyone who didn't need to run old 32-bit software.

    I was being thrifty and bought a pc laptop. I hated that computer and so it wasn’t a bargain after all. I really like this MacBook. It is better for my needs in all respects ,it is super light and I like the display.

    Bought this October 2021 for my wife’s esrly Christmas present. She hardly uses it, I’m talking browse internet and check her bank accounts once a month or two kind of use. She wanted to do her monthly bookkeeping last week and it doesn’t turn on. She thought battery was dead so she left it plugged into charger overnight and still won’t turn in next day. We even tried to do the battery reset and still nothing. I expected better from Apple. I have my MacBook pro I bought back in 2012 for college and that thing is still going. Battery life is about an hour of moderate web browsing but still turns on and runs fine, sluggishly I might add. But it still turns on. Pros: very light weight compared to our old 2013 Air it replaced. Screen color is super clear with vivid colors. Battery life was great when it was working. Wife charges it once every two months. Cons: stopped working after only 8 months of very little use.

    The price was great, matching with offers of other stores. Nice looking. Light weight. Takes time to learn all the functions or not familiar with the Operating System. Can’t comment on speed which might be limited by my WiFi.

    Very fast. Very long battery life. I love this machine. The migration from my old MacBook Pro was smooth but I did have to jetison some old file because of the smaller drive. Turns out I had duplicates of several media files so it was painless.

    I am a PC girl from way back. But… this has made me a MAC convert. Lightweight, sleek, powerful. It does everything I need it to do. Love that it integrates with my iPhone and Apple Watch. I can’t think of one negative thing to say!

    This is revolutionary. Apple managed to get the power of an Intel with double the battery life. It doesn't get hot, so it doesn't need cooling, even with intense workloads.

    I love this Mac! I tried to go with a Lenovo after previously having a Mac and that lasted all of 1 day then I was in Best Buy getting it. Fast. Worth the money. The finger print feature to log in and do things is amazing just like the Face ID feature on the iPhone . I’ll never switch on on Mac computer ever in my life time. They last long and are so worth the money . My old one lasted me 10 years before the batter went but still could have gotten more out of it.

    Been using this on a daily basis for almost a year. Works flawlessly. Apple is always quality. Not much else to say. Boots quick, does everything I need it to. It can get a little slow if overburdened, but I usually have 20+ internet tabs open, VPN on, word docs running, and Youtube, so for the price I'd say it's great value.
