    I’m loving my MacBook Air! It’s perfect for both personal and business stuff. The design is super sleek, and it’s lightweight, so I can take it anywhere without hassle. The M1 chip is crazy fast, and it handles everything I throw at it without slowing down. The storage and memory are just right for what I need, and the battery life lasts all day, which is a huge plus. Overall, it’s compact, stylish, and powerful—couldn’t ask for more!!

    I am new to MacBook but not to Apple. I was worried about ease of use because I’ve always owned windows computers so I contemplated switching over. I made the best decision ever! I love how simple and intelligent this laptop is. The best part is that it’s super fast and communicates effortlessly with my iPad and iPhone. Super dependable and great for business. Also… The setup literally took less than 10 minutes straight out the box!! I would suggest getting a usbc hub/adapter because there are no ports for regular usb just usbc. Highlights: Quiet Lightweight Display Audio quality Speedy Storage space Battery life

    This laptop is absolutely sleek, lightweight, portable, and fast. My old computer had broke and wasn’t very portable but I can take this to my classes, Lightroom runs excellent, and plenty of storage!! It got knocked off a counter after about a week of having it, I was almost in tears fearing the worst as it landed open, screen down, like a tent. Not a single crack or scratch.

    ⭐⭐⭐ Still Amazing After 8 Months!⭐⭐⭐

    I’ve been using the MacBook Air M1 for 8 months now, and it continues to impress me with Apple’s intelligent design and innovation. The performance is lightning-fast, thanks to the M1 chip, which does tasks easily using advanced machine learning. The battery life still remains outstanding, easily lasting me 2 whole days without needing a charge. Its lightweight yet very durable build makes it perfect for on-the-go use. The Retina display, enhanced by Apple’s True Tone technology, delivers stunning visuals with vibrant colors. Even after months of use, it stays cool and silent, which shows Apple’s fanless efficiency. The Magic Keyboard and precise trackpad feel intuitive and responsive, enhancing productivity. macOS updates have been smooth, with features like Universal Control making multitasking smarter and easier. I appreciate how Apple’s ecosystem keeps everything connected effortlessly across my devices. For instance, I also own a iPhone 12, an iPad 9th Gen, & AirPod Pro's 2. My MacBook is seamlessly transferring files throughout my devices. Using the MacBook, when I receive calls, and lets say I answer the call on my iPhone 12, and my AirPods are connected to my MacBook, my AirPods are able to switch devices in less than a second. In conclusion, this MacBook Air is a masterpiece of thoughtful innovation and worth every penny!

    The best gateway entrance to the Mac

    I have always wanted a MacBook, ever since I was a little kid. But, there was always something that stopped me from getting one. They always mentioned that the Air wasn't very good, from 2011 all the way up to 2019, reviews always mentioned the multiple flaws MacBook Air had; from the thermal throttling, to the super small SSD (128 at base price), over $1000, then the Butterfly Keyboard etc. The list went on and on, and I really thought that it wasn't worth the money. Until, WWDC 2020, Apple announced they would start making their own chips straight from home, I was so excited for this new generation, it reminded me of the time when they went from PowerPC to Intel. The excitement was there, and I loved the new unibody that started in 2016, with the removal of unnecessary ports for the average Joe. Everything was the same, but the new M1 chip. That is when I realized that this M1 MacBook Air was the one for me. I didn't hesitate and started saving until I had enough to buy it. And, I absolutely made the best decision in purchasing it. It is amazing, it's super slim. portable, super fast processing speed and power. The screen is beautiful, the bezels are unnoticeable. The keyboard is outstanding, To be completely honest, this laptop makes you want to be more productive, just because of its speed and its ease of use. If you're thinking about purchasing a Mac, this by far is one of the better choices (and the cheapest nonetheless) The charger is also outstanding! 30w is all you need for this little thing Recommendation: I would just like to say that you should consider upgrading the SSD size, at least to 512GB, 256GB is fine, but you won't feel the need to download and have only the essentials, 512GB is such a sweet spot and won't have to worry about deleting things in the future. RAM upgrade I wouldn't recommend, unless you are a serious power hungry user.

    Beyond my expectations

    I recently bought the MacBook Air M1, base model. I am a programmer and I dedicate myself to making both mobile applications for Android and iOS, web applications and some game development with Unity. The use I give it is not exactly domestic. I have been able to have a node server running at the same time as Unity consuming information from the server, and it has no problems. I have also used Android and iOS emulators (which consume a lot) at the same time. The funny thing is that I bought it thinking of using it for a period of 6 months when the new MacBook Pro M2 Pro/Max comes out, and I think it will give up for the whole of 2023 without any problems. From what I'm having I don't think it's worth going to an M2 because the difference in power in the personal I don't think justifies the price. If you really need more power than the M1 can offer you with 16Gb of ram (I use 8 and it's impeccable), I highly recommend going for an M1 Pro. Greetings and I hope this can serve as a reference for other programmers who have doubts about the capabilities of this machine to work.

    This is my first MacBook and I absolutely love it! I have officially gone over to the Apple side. It is so easy to use and a beautiful design. The battery life last longer than any other laptop I have owned in the past. The screen is vivid and easy on the eyes. It talks to the other devices that I already own which is super cool. The keyboard is a dream to type on and I am enjoying having lighted keys. I thought I would need to buy a separate mouse but the trackpad is so user friendly. No need to spend the extra money. My favorite thing about this laptop is how light and portable it is. It will be perfect for when I go back to college in the near future. I plan to use this laptop for many years to come.

    Upgraded from a 2017 Air. Screen is visibly sharper, the processing speed is faster. I use a second screen, often with streaming news feeds or YouTube videos open, while working on items open on the laptop's screen. Sound is good too. Incredibly lightweight for travel, and I never worry the battery will quit before I do.

    I’ve had this laptop for 2 years now and it’s still working really well. It’s quick, it’s silent, it stills lasts around 7-8 hours when it’s on battery mode. It’s only heated up on me once but that’s because I had like 20 applications on, many tabs on as well, along with my coding application on the side. It’s perfect, honestly.

    Absolutely FANTASTIC! I love the size and weight of this MacBook. The keyboard and trackpad are awesome!! It all works and performs as you would expect from a premium computer. I bought a Incase Icon sleeve to store in when not in use. That is a must have accessory to have to protect computer. This was my second MacBook Air purchase. I purchased first one from Apple directly. I liked mine so much I bought the girlfriend this one for her birthday from Best Buy. She's in love with it as well. Thank you Apple and Best Buy!

    I bought this for laptop going to my freshman year of college and it has performed greatly. I am now a senior in college and it's still performing greatly. It still holds a charge and can last me several days without having to charge it back up. I bought this laptop through Best Buy because there was a deal on it instead of buying it on Amazon or straight from the Apple Store. Picture quality is good sound, is great, portability is great. I am very deep in the apple ecosystem because of his laptop now. (I've also put a Dbrand Skin on it to give it some subtle style and protection from scratches.)

    Been having mine for a month now and I love it. I added a pic of how it appears with a clear case that I bought off of Amazon and it looks even better and sleek (I kinda like that the logo doesn’t glow, it makes it look more classier in my opinion). Fall semester starts next week for me, so I’ll really get to test out and see how it actually functions for hours at a time. On that note, so far so good. Everything runs smooth and the battery life is great. Depending on how much you use your laptop, sometimes I’ll only need to charge my MacBook 2x a week. 10/10

    The MacBook Air with the M1 chip is a game-changer. Its performance is stellar, thanks to the M1's power efficiency and speed. The fanless design keeps it whisper-quiet. The battery life is remarkable, easily lasting a full day. The Retina display is vibrant, and the keyboard is comfortable. The M1's compatibility with iOS apps is a bonus. However, limited port options might be a drawback for some. Overall, it's a fantastic ultraportable laptop that sets a new standard in performance and battery life.

    Great purchase so far! It does take a little bit of time to adjust from primarily using windows computers. I enjoy how lightweight this MacBook is! It runs super fast, it’s very customizable, and it does all that I personally need it to do. I wouldn’t get this MacBook if you expect to run large games, but it’s great for general usage such as school work or playing stardew valley! It has a super long battery life too!
