    We love this computer as it is very light and easy to transport no matter where work takes us. Fast processor and handles multiple tasks all at once.

    Love it! Everything is smooth and super fast on this MacBook Air! So many things are improved by Apple's M1 Processor - faster SSD read/write speeds mean everything you do on your computer will feel faster. This change drastically improves speed and battery life. When setting up my Air, I was impressed by how quickly apps open and respond. When you lift the lid the screen is instantly on now. I spent an entire afternoon working on this computer at a cafe, and was still at 80% battery when I left. The reviewers are definitely right - for the majority of people needing a personal computer, this is the computer to get! In fact, if your work applications are cloud based or not too "heavy", you'd be good using this as your main work computer as well. With the speed of this machine, there are less reasons to go with the MacBook Pro now, unless you do video editing all day or something similarly intensive. I'm very impressed with this machine and happy I chose this Mac!

    Love my new MacBook Air. It’s light weight and so quiet. The m1 chip and retina display are amazing. I always buy apple products they are reliable and you get great customer service if you need help for any reason. It is also a beautiful gold color, which I just love.

    I LOVE my MacBook! It’s everything I could have asked for. I will have to get an adapter because there are no universal ports but that’s a small issue that can be remedied with $30 which really makes it all still worth it. It’s fast, beautiful, light, and the software is amazing!

    Excellent option for a compact work laptop. I personally like the capability of a desktop but I occasionally need a mobile solution. It is light weight, works with my iPhone and ready to go at any moment. Battery life is excellent even when I play music while I work. The system responds quickly to all my necessary apps. It has been a wonderful device for both my personal and professional use.

    Switched back over from Surface Pro 7, no regrets. The M1 processor makes this such a smooth machine. I use it for photo editing with Lightroom and Photoshop. No hiccups. Honestly, it’s an elegant design and it’s very light. I’m very happy with my purchase.

    This MacBook gives me the essentials that I need in a laptop. It's fast, reliable, and holds a change really well. The only downside is the lack of USB and HDMI ports,but for the price, it's probably as good as you're going to get.

    I did a lot of research before deciding on a MacBook Air (too much...). I agreed with all the people who wrote that Macs are for plug-and-play types like I am. I do not have very sophisticated computer needs, so I chose the Mac in the hopes that this will last me a long time. (My HP Pavilion lasted almost ten years before it needed to be replaced, which prompted this purchase of the MacBook Air.) Very fast! But an even better feature: the battery lasts a loooooong time! I kept wondering if the battery icon at the top was working because after so much use, I still had so much left in the tank. I finally plugged it in to charge after a week, and I only did it because it had a quarter-tank left, and I "gassed it up" at a quarter-tank like I normally do with my car... Thank you, Best Buy and Apple.

    This is probably one of the best laptops in the market, period! The M1 chip, the design, the portability and the optimized MacOS is a an experience unlike any Windows laptop in this price point. This is perfect for school/office work.
