    I received great service from Best Buy when choosing the right laptop for my wife. Salesperson was very helpful and informed. I’m a Mac Owner myself and the new I Mac Air is an amazing computer, I definitely want to get one for myself now! Love the Best Buy total rewards program and have already saved over 300$!

    Lightweight, easy to use. Gold color is nicer-looking than I expected it to be. Of course as an Apple user I like that it connects to all my other devices.

    Is 8GB enough?

    Amazing speed, even through Rosetta 2 translation. However, I found that opening certain combinations of stuff such as a second monitor (because the video memory uses the unified memory, VS Code, Github, 4 tabs of chrome, and DataGrip made this computer a bit sluggish (as to be expected). I would be using 8-10 GB of swap. I've since then upgraded to the 13" pro with 16gb, and then the 14" pro with 16gb. Its super fast CPU and fast swap storage didn't compensate for the 8GB, as I foolishly thought it would.

    This is a great device for what I (a college student) use it for. The M1 chip is still great, and the computer hasn't crashed on me in my few months of owning this, and the battery life is good as well! Would highly recommend it as an entry-level MacBook! (And watch out for the sale when this item is $750!)

    Best laptop I ever owned. The specs are great, it doesn't get overheated, is very smooth, and the battery lasts a pretty long time as well.

    My son suddenly needed a new computer for college. We’ve always been an Apple family, but sometimes the cost can be prohibitive. Not this time! Our son is thrilled with this computer and says it’s the best laptop he’s had. It’s quick, easy to use, interfaces well with his other Apple products and absolutely loves the battery lif!

    Great computer for my kid’s first year of college. Was on sale and for a Mac with M1, it was a great deal. This seems solid and should last.
