    Student/Creative review of Macbook Air M1

    I love this MacBook. I did expect it to be a bit lighter in weight, it almost felt like my MacBook Pro. But super fast and compact! No issue with memory either.

    Purchased this MacBook Air for general use. Definitely lightweight. I love that it can connect to my IPad Pro and I can use it as a second screen. It has a backlit keyboard which is a nice feature. Setup is super easy if you already have an iCloud account plus you can use finger id to unlock. Definitely worth the price!

    All my past laptops have been Windows based. Took a while to figure out the MacOS system. Purchased because I bought a GoPro and there is more editing software that is Apple based. This laptop is fast, light, and runs quite. So far it does the job of editing my GoPro video. I just wish the screen was 4K.

    This laptop works great! I've had a couple of Macs before but never an Air and it is so light but also durable and fast. I can do everything I need to with the specs for this and it runs smooth. Highly recommend!

    What can I say about the new M1 Macbook Air that everyone hasn't already mention? It is such a huge upgrade to the previous generation in terms of battery life and performance. I can go 12-14 hours of use on a single charge at medium brightness. This is unheard of just a year ago, but I am loving the new cpu architecture. Sorry Intel/AMD you will need to address the power consumption of your chips to compete with Apple. My programs and apps fly with this new computer. For the value you pay it is totally worth it. The only cons I have is the limited ports. 2 TB4 ports and headphone jack will not cut it Apple. We need a standard SD card slot and HDMI port to really make this better than it is.

    I’m a grad student who needs a reliable, fast, and easy to use laptop that’s also light weight to fit into my backpack with my textbooks. I’ve always had Mac’s, but this is my favorite so far! I like the upgraded charging port. The older versions are magnetic which would fall out super easy. This one actually PLUGS in and is sturdy! The Touch ID is also a life saver to log in quickly to all my student accounts and the laptop itself. I knew it was worth the money, and I’m obsessed. Also- the speakers get really loud which is nice when watching movies or videos.

    This is my first MacBook it came yesterday and I'm learning all the things it can do. its a beautiful laptop. I purchased the silver 256gb and I can say I'm loving it. its was well worth the purchased. this machine is really fast and that's a plus. I purchased the HP laptop and returned it and got the Mac Air I'm glad I chose the Mac and I purchased 2 cases from amazon that fit perfectly. I'm a happy camper

    Was happy to be able to snag this M1 model MacBook Air for the academic year with the students discount. It’s as lightweight as I need it to be and MUCH MORE efficient than my 2015 MacBook in terms of battery and processing speed. Definitely the upgrade I needed without having to compromise cost for a Pro model.

    This is an excellent machine for daily use and even some more power intensive work. I bought this for my wife to edit photos for her photography business using the Adobe suite of editing tools. This machine is very capable and the battery life is unlike any laptop on the market. I have used my personal M1 MacBook Air every day since October of 2021, and it has not slowed down or decreased in battery life by any noticeable margin. Excellent machine, definitely recommend.

    I recently bought an Apple MacBook from Best Buy, and it's been fantastic. The design is sleek, and the Retina display is vibrant and sharp. The M1 chip ensures smooth performance, even with demanding tasks, and the battery life easily lasts all day. Best Buy provided excellent service. The staff were knowledgeable and helpful, making the purchase process quick and easy. Overall, I highly recommend both the MacBook and Best Buy!

    Well established to be a great laptop. We agree. Still zippy and very light and easy to use. Bezel is still a little big but no big deal. I knew what we were getting into.

    I've gotta tell you, this is one of the fastest computers I've ever used, and I've used several far beyond a thousand bucks. I got this at $800 which is a steal for this kind of performance. Battery life is excellent, better than any laptop I've ever owned. Also, it's silent which is a huge bonus!
