    Upgraded from a 2014 MacBook Air and don't regret it. The old one still worked, but this one is smoother and seems to be doing great on battery life. No point in buying the more expensive Pro now a days, since the Air has the M1.

    I don't regret switching to a MacBook

    After watching and reading multiple reviews on the M1 MBA, I decided to try out the laptop. After years of using sub-$1000 PCs/laptops, I must say that the new M1 MAC is the best and most cost-efficient device out there. Hardware, on average, blows all Windows laptops out of the water (better screen, solid keyboard, nicer trackpad, and excellent battery life). I can understand why this laptop is rated so highly across the Internet. Software, however, is somewhat limited compared to what Windows offers, especially with the new chip. However, if you already have a Windows desktop and are looking for a good laptop to carry around, give the M1 MBA a try. With the M1X on the horizon, BestBuy and other retailers will probably give this device a big discount in the upcoming months.

    I am a long time Apple computer owner. I had a MacBook Pro and one morning it simply died. It was about 8 years old. I had always been happy with my MacBook Pro but as my needs had changed, I went with the Air and am very happy. I shopped online and found BestBuy's price to be competitive and I could pick up the computer in a few hours. Great experience with Best Buy from internet search to pickup. Thanks!

    Fast, excellent screen and set up. It’s lightweight and easy to carry. The new chip (m1) is as fast as they say. Everything is more responsive. Ability to communicate with any Apple device is easy and very cool. Highly recommend!

    I am impressed with this machine and its abilities to crunch numbers like crazy doing statistics. Blows away so many other machines out there. Excellent display, but a tiny ssd. I can live with external drives, if necessary.

    Purchased this for my daughter in high school and so far it's been satisfactory as far as performance. It has the m1 because dang these things are expensive. I wanted at least an m2 but I would've had to shell out about $1200 but I do understand that these are among the finest laptops so we went with the most affordable. Overall she's content with this device so hopefully next time around we can upgrade.

    The perfect laptop for travel, very lightweight. Quick start-up and the battery life lasts 18 hours at max, if not more. The rose color is also a beautiful tone. I'm very pleased with this product, no complaintss thus far.

    The M1 MacBook Air is an absolute beast. I have been blown away by its ability to take in, process and export giant files and video files. I edit 4k video, 8k drone footage and more and this little computer handles everything I throw at it. I don't really have any complaints. for a thousand bucks you won't get a better computer, in fact you will probably have to spend closer to 3 thousand (triple the price) in order to improve on performance. I can't say enough about this little beast. Mission dictates gear but if you need an all around fantastic computer that can handle 99.9% of tasks you throw at it, this is the computer for you.

    The MacBook Air with the M1 chip is fast and easy to use. The only con is the size of the screen is small.

    I love the speed of this laptop. Light weight, easy to bring with you on the go. Can load heavy graphic design software in seconds. Best laptop I've ever owned. Great for college students, especially with student discounts.
