    I use it for college and I love it. Apple is the best in my opinion. The start up the ease and the simplicity. The air drop feature is the best.

    It was a Christmas gift for my son for his college classes. He absolutely loved it and was completely surprised. I’ve had an HP laptop but I’m about to switch to the MacBook as well. Plus I couldn’t beat the price

    I love love love this new MacBook Air with the m1 chip! Plus I saved $100 and the Bestbuy rep helped out greatly with the ordering process. I’m an apple sheep but I see no reason to spend the extra on the pro model base upon youtube reviews unless you do serious work. Great buy!

    Product is exactly how it was described to my son who is in medical school and this computer has really assisted him lately with the quickness of the programs and speed of the internet speed Wi-Fi component so glad we listened to the school on this one!

    As a technology enthusiast, I purchased this to run the M1 apple silicon through its paces. I am surprised with how this device performs relative to other devices in a similar form factor/tdp. This is the first Apple product I've owned in years and I love it.

    When choosing a new laptop for the college kid, this was the top choice. Plenty of storage, super fast and the best screen on the market. With limited space in a dorm, besides class work, becomes a perfect monitor to stream movies too.

    The no USB port thing has been the worst inconvenience about this laptop. I love how long the battery lasts, love the keyboard and the image quality. Sound could be better but I just need it to study and type. It does the job. NO USB PORTS IS THE DOWNFALL OF THIS LAPTOP.

    The new M1 Mac Book Air is an incredible tool. Speed is amazingly fast and keyboard is swift and user friendly. I shouldn’t have to buy a CPU for 5 years or so. Highly recommended  product. On sale now

    Great and affordable computer. Says the M1 chip supports only one external display (extended display) but with the Displaylink Triple Display Docking Station for MacBook, you can connect two!

    Doesn't make sense to buy PC any more

    I've only ever used PCs before, but with the incredible M1 chip, it only makes sense to buy Apple. Usually more powerful machines come at the expense of shorter battery life. Not with M1 chips. It's faster AND longer lasting. Build quality of Apple has always been unrivaled.

    Does everything I need it to do, and is extremely fast while doing it! I’m not a computer geek, but I studied up enough to know this Apple chip was supposed to change everything about storage and and efficiently due to the chip and it’s circuit layout. I don’t do too many technical things on it, but I do some video editing and basic audio production as I’m a semi professional musician…. Mostly amateur. This iMac has served me well thus far. Wish I could have had a 16gig processor but this 8gig does the work of a 16gig processor all because of circuit layout.
