    I have been using an Air from 2012 and this was my first upgrade after that. Much has changed in terms of looks. The Gold version is super looking and more compact that the previous air. definitely miss the space for rest your hands while tying but is more compact and easier to carry. Functionality is amazing and super smooth while using

    Super light, super quiet, super long battery life, looks great. Kids love it so much. Provide some convenience functions not available to Windows users. Have to compromise with lack of touch screen.

    I was going back and forth about what model I should get and what’s good for the price. I’m glad I chose this model. The M1 processor has proven itself and has surprised me at what it can handle. I’m getting into Web Development/ coding and this computer is capable of handling entry level projects and the learning curbs that come with. The keyboard is also something I’ve quickly adapted to and it’s very comfy to use. My only downside would be the size, it’s at 13.3 inches which is on the smaller size so if you need more screen or a bigger keyboard size, it may not be ideal. But it works well for me and for what I need. It is super light weight and travel friendly.

    The laptop is suuuupper fast and I love the fingertip login feature. I haven't tried to run any large programs on it but it's really quick for internet use. Battery lasts forever. It is smaller than I expected but light!

    The Perfect MacBook

    I upgraded to this device from a 2015 MacBook Air. I am so glad I did! The M1 chip truly is a game changer for Apple. Lightning fast and can handle so much. This MacBook has the best keyboard and trackpad I have ever used on a Mac device. I also like that I can download apps and such. Battery life is out of this world amazing. I love that it wakes up immediately upon opening the lid. My only gripe is that I wish that there were more ports on it. Only 2 USB-C ports (one of which you have to use to power the device) is very short-sighted. This can be fixed with a hub, but that is also another expense). One small annoyance is the lack of being able to upgrade the RAM, but 8GB is more than enough for my needs. For those who like to slam "gold" or "rose gold", I used to be one of you. However, this color was the only option available, and I must say...it is quite beautiful to look at.

    Hands down, best laptop I have ever purchased. Very fast. Very clean as far as design. Screen gets very bright. The M1 Chip is like butter. Could not ask for a better piece of tech. I highly recommend the Air over the Pro only if you are a casual user and are not gaming, editing, or rendering photos/videos.

    Love this laptop. It’s slim, light, nice looking, and easy to transport. I don’t use it for anything fancy; just browsing the internet, writing, etc. but it is super fast doing all that.

    Amazing, couple of caveats

    Overall I love it with a couple of caveats. Got the 8gb ram basic version. Was surprised when it running slower than my previous computer (hp specter 2018 16gb ram). Opening a bunch of tabs on safari slowed it down. Secondly, being used to 15in and going down to 13 inch felt like a bit of a downgrade, and my old laptop just had amazing picture quality, 4K, and wide color gamut. Somewhat wish I waited for the 14in MacBook pros. Overall, I’m really happy, wanted a Mac because I have an iPhone and have been impressed by how easily everything syncs up. Have been wanting to experience apple ecosystem for a while and it didn’t disappoint. Also, it’s ridiculously small and light, battery life is amazing.

    Works extremely well, the MacBook is fast and very slim so it's perfect for fitting in a bag or for light travel. The speakers are loud and clear and the screen colors are vibrant and crisp. Would definitely recommend.

    Beyond Expectations!

    I bought this Macbook to replace my laptop as it has been slowing down to its age. I wasn't expecting much for this purchase, but I was blown away at how fast it is. I know it's only a slight difference on how much time it saves, but it adds up. Not having to wait on processes or pages to catch up has been incredibly refreshing. I haven't had a chance to fully explore its features, but aside from its speed, the display is beautiful and its ability to adapt to harsh sunlight makes it the perfect choice to be my daily carry. Lastly, the battery life is amazing. I always carry a charger but this laptop lasts for days between charges despite its constant use. If you're looking for a solid laptop for work or school, I feel like this is the best choice for its price.

    Very pleased with this first generation Apple silicon Mac. Its performance compared to its price point will blow you away. Battery life is exceptional. Overall a great laptop for anyone who is not doing professional work that requires a lot of performance. But you can definitely do some good photoshop, video, or sound production on this machine. If you are doing it professionally I would recommend the M1 Pro 14.

    Best value macbook ever

    Upgraded from 2015 MacBook Pro that was slowing down on me. Was a bit hesitant due to lack of ports but honestly has not been an issue. If you do use a flash drive often, then can simply use a port hub. The battery life is insane. It can last a week week on a single charge with light usage (1-2 hours/day), still holds up 2-3 days with more extended use. The new M1 chip is the best thing apple has ever done after inventing iphone. It can handle intense multitasking with multiple browser windows full of youtube vids, as well as editing with Finalcut Pro. Render times are very fast and does not slow down other tasks. At the time of purchase it was on sale for $800 with student pricing. The next week it was $750. For the price I paid I am extremely satisfied. Would recommend it when it's on sale again to anyone and everyone. Maybe not for hardcore video editing or programming, but will fit the needs of the other 95%.
