    I went from a Chromebook to the MacBook and what a difference. Great performance and synced with everything on iCloud. Takes some getting use to the green/yellow/red buttons to expand/minimize/close the pop up or whatever is being done. Happy with the product so far. Only negative would be that I wish the screen was a little larger.

    Well built, blazingly fast, amazing trackpad, decent keyboard, and the M1 chip makes a world of difference. Got this during a sale and Best Buy always comes through with those once in a blue moon crazy deals. Still offering 256gb as base memory and 8gb is rather paltry, even though the M1 is fast, would've wanted a bump up in SSD and RAM.

    This was my first MacBook purchase, and it did not disappoint. My daughter is in high school and uses it more than I do at this point. I highly recommend this laptop for students.

    I like this laptop; I was debating whether to get a Mac or another Windows computer... I had several HP Pavilions, which were less expensive because I couldn't justify spending more than $500 on a laptop at the time. When I bought a Mac instead, it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I love this laptop.

    So excited about my 1st Mac! It’s very fast and multi tasking is incredibly easy supposedly due to the M1 chip. I love that it’s tied to my iPhone and I can seamlessly work from one device to the other without issue. Bought this as an open box - excellent condition certified and cleaned by the Geek squad. Wouldn’t notice the difference between this and a brand new Mac directly from Apple.

    Apple used to be wildly expensive for the amount of product you received, but the new base-level MacBook Air *WHEN ON SALE* is a phenomenal deal...except for the storage space. · All prior x86 apps that I have tested are fully functional in the M1 environment · Parallels is running great with a Windows 10 ARM release · The 8GB of RAM limitation has not yet been a problem with limited photo/video editing · 256GB of storage is not adequate in 2021. The cost to upgrade to 512GB is also a ridiculous amount and not worth it. External options are almost mandatory for people with heavier file workloads. · Serviceability is at an all-time low. Hopefully a Right-To-Repair mindset is more widely adopted in the future, but with Apple, I doubt it.

    Very good battery life and speed on this MacBook. The M1 chip can run many programs at once and run them quickly. Great for school or work. There are still some bugs on the OS which will for sure be fixed on the next updates for it.
