    just a steal for the price of 800. battery life alone blows even the best PCs away let alone the screen resolution. style is a bit dated obviously but can look past that at this price.

    The new MBAs are fantastic. I often wonder what apple will do next. It isn't always great but they always seem to fix it the second time around. This is a great example. I have owned three Airs and one Pro in my day and for the cost, performance, and form this is a real winner. I got two!

    MacBook Air M1 base model. Got this for $800 on sale. MacBook M1 base model is better than M2 base model because of SSD issues. I use this MacBook for school, shopping, finance etc. works like a charm and light and portable.

    It was the perfect buy! Love my MacBook Air. I was looking for something small but with good processing speed and not too heavy. Fits like a charm in my handbag. Got a great deal on it too!

    The MacBook Air is my go-to computer because it's lightweight with a good screen size for work and streaming. I did have to buy some adapter cables because the new generation uses USBC.

    Still worth buying this in 2023 over the M2 for a whole host of factors - better speakers, faster SSD, wedge shape (if you still prefer that) and obviously, cost!

    Daughter’s going into high school from middle school. Needed to graduate from a Chromebook to a laptop and will believe Apple is gonna provide very few problems as compared to a PC. So far the apple is not disappointed.

    Powerful and smooth. I especially like the standby/sleep feature working perfectly every time. It did crash (some apps) on me few times due to memory issues, so 16GB RAM might be a better alternative for someone who has a lot of apps/processes open at one time.

    I’m super satisfied with the laptop , so thin and lightweight , doing homework and little keynote projects has became much easier with Apple office space. And here at Best Buy I got a better deal with about 100$ more of a discount than Apple official site offered . With Best Buy you get the best BUY really!!! Recommend!

    Very pleased with this MacBook Air. It is very lightweight so it was easy to travel with out of the country. I had to attend a meeting by Blue Jeans App while out of the country and the MacBook Air did great. Very happy so far with my purchase and the gold is very pretty.

    M1 chip is incredibly fast. This laptop is good for everything except long demanding tasks. Short bursts of demanding tasks work fine, but the laptop gets hot if you do it for a while (duh) since it doesn’t have cooling fans

    Wow! It is so amazing to see how fast this computer is! I also like that I can use my fingerprint to unlock it most of the time. Looking forward to finding out how many new things I can do with it!!
