    Not the best Apple product I've owned

    I've been an exclusive Mac user for 15 years, and usually adore everything Apple produces. The MacBook Air (M1 chip) isn't my favorite product. The track pad is a little hard to maneuver at times, especially when trying to highlight text or move windows around the screen. Also, I know I'm testing its limits of power, but at the advice of a sales associate, I bought it thinking I could do some light design work with the Adobe Creative suite. At the moment, Adobe hasn't configured its software to operate with the M1 chip in mind, and I found that it wasn't a smooth ride using inDesign for very basic work. The same work is fine with my suped-up Mac mini. Hoping those updates come soon. I'm also extremely disappointed in the webcam's lowlight functioning. Using it for Zoom/Facetime in the evenings at my home in lamplight has yielded subpar results. Otherwise, this is a typical Apple product — smooth design, lightweight, beautiful graphics, great for surfing the web.

    I am an Interior Design student who is constantly working on big projects that require a good amount of hard drive storage as well as the ability to run fast. This MacBook blows both of those categories out of the water. It has been perfect for getting me though my program.

    Amazing laptop, coming from a 2012 MBP this is super fast and really quiet. I can use this for hours and it hardly gets warm or hot. The M1 chip is amazing.

    The laptop is a breeze to use and thus far has given me 0 problems. With its M1 chip i think this is the best bet for your average professional.
