Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great entry level computer for basic tasks. Tried project zomboid on it and it was acceptable. It did get warm but nothing compared to a windows laptop.

I love my computer. It’s small enough to fit in my work bag and does exactly what I need it to

I love this lightweight computer. The speed reaching what I’m looking for is amazing . This is my first Apple computer and I am very pleased with the purchase .

After watching and reading multiple reviews on the M1 MBA, I decided to try out the laptop. After years of using sub-$1000 PCs/laptops, I must say that the new M1 MAC is the best and most cost-efficient device out there. Hardware, on average, blows all Windows laptops out of the water (better screen, solid keyboard, nicer trackpad, and excellent battery life). I can understand why this laptop is rated so highly across the Internet. Software, however, is somewhat limited compared to what Windows offers, especially with the new chip. However, if you already have a Windows desktop and are looking for a good laptop to carry around, give the M1 MBA a try. With the M1X on the horizon, BestBuy and other retailers will probably give this device a big discount in the upcoming months.

The M1 MacBook Air is an absolute beast. I have been blown away by its ability to take in, process and export giant files and video files. I edit 4k video, 8k drone footage and more and this little computer handles everything I throw at it. I don't really have any complaints. for a thousand bucks you won't get a better computer, in fact you will probably have to spend closer to 3 thousand (triple the price) in order to improve on performance. I can't say enough about this little beast. Mission dictates gear but if you need an all around fantastic computer that can handle 99.9% of tasks you throw at it, this is the computer for you.

I love this laptop! So fast and lightweight. I've always loved Mac, and this is the best one I've had yet.

Great product for the money. It is perfect for my college student! The size and weight are manageable for all tasks.

I actually haven’t bought a new computer in years I will admit. I replaced an HP that still had Windows XP and an Athlon 64. But I do use a 10th gen Core i7 desktop at work. Decided to go Apple this time around never bought one before but used ones back in elementary thru High school dating back to the old IIe. It is very slick and fast and integrates with my iPhone and Apple Watch seamlessly. Going back to Mac OS after many years is really like an old friend how familiar it was to start using again. Also amazing how a fanless machine stays really cool doing basic stuff. I had serious doubts about how well that would work till I tried one.

This computer is highly rated for a reason. Lightnight quick with the M1 chip, easy interface, great design, what more is there to say? A great upgrade from my old 2011 Macbook Pro

Battery lasts for hours, great display, fast. Moving from a PC I still find some things clunky using the touchpad, but using a mouse helps a lot. You will see this review again I bought three for the family (who all love apple) for Christmas.

This laptop is so light compared to my past laptop. Also, the battery life is amazing and I can go all day through school without having to worry about charging it

I loved, The truth is that it was the best purchase I made!! and best buy puts the best offers

My household is definitely an Apple family. I purchased this for my son's birthday and he LOVES it. He's able to do a lot of things on it. It's really light and sleek for easy carrying.

Been shopping for new computer for a few years off and on. Get close to pulling trigger and end up just going back to my trusty HP. Wanted to jump back into a Mac but prices always keeps me looking rather than buying. When BestBuy dropped the price on the M1 Macbook Air to $799 I just could not resist. A good deal still at list price, at two hundred off it's a steal. Have done some photo and video editing already and it's very smooth with no hiccups. I'm not a power user so I don't really need a Pro or a loaded Air, so I'm very happy with this choice.

It’s everything the reviewers are saying. Fast. Long battery life. Runs intel apps. Awesome screen resolution. Converted a time machine backup effortlessly. I finally broke down and replaced my perfectly fine 11” 2012 Air. It runs fine, but certainly not as fast as this one, but form factor has always been a bigger draw for me than speed, and integration across all my Apple products is an added bonus. I would give it 6 stars, but I am upset at Apple for dropping the 11” model, which I dearly loved.

Great battery life, quality display, flawless performance. My next laptop purchase will be another MacBook.

Excellent speed and performance. Great fit for my college needs. Slim and carrying around in my backpack easily.

I bought this an open box item from BestBuy. This is my first attempt at buying an open box item and I was definitely concerned but was relieved as i was getting full warranty for an item for which i was paying 30% less than the MSRP. I am also hesitant to buy the first gen of any new item. In this case, I made an exception and bought Macbook air which had M1 processor and I was correct in my decision. This macbook is blazing fast and I can have 6-8 tabs open and it still doesnt slow down. I think 8GB RAM is sufficient for my daily use (Streaming, Mail, Surfing, Editing of Docs). I am happy with my purchase.

This is hands down the best laptop out there and an amazing value for what you get! And the battery is phenomenal - I can go days without charging. The M1 chip is blazing fast! This is the MacBook to get! Mind blown!

The MacBook Air with the M1 chip is fast, lightweight, and has amazing battery life. The Retina display is stunning, and the build quality is top-notch. Perfect for everyday use—highly recommend!
