Customer Ratings & Reviews

However, this laptop isn’t ideal for people who edit photos, videos, or otherwise process large media files. Our tests found the laptop would get hot to the touch even after a minute of exporting video or batch editing photos, to levels that would make the laptop uncomfortable to use. But for everyday work tasks, browsing the web, watching movies, and even playing App Store games, the M2 MacBook Air offers a bunch of great upgrades over the previous generation.

On first sight the product is incomparable. Sleek design, perfect finishes. I thought that being an Air would wheigh less. The screen lid is super smooth, can be opened single handed. But doesn’t open on its own thanks to magnets. Software wise is a beast. It just that the M1 chip is so new that a lot of old Apps are not running properly. Hardware wise I found that overall is a great performer without any caveat (except for opening large Excel spreadsheets, then it has to convert them). I think 256Gb is a little too low on space. Even though I have an army in of external drives. Everyday apps take too much space and cm easily fill your drive within a month or two.

I upgraded from a MacBook Air 2013 to this MacBook Air M1, it was a great decision. Device boots up very quickly, screen is great, battery life excellent, and price at Best Buy was perfect. The harder decision was justifying the purchase, as I had previously purchased the M1 Mac Mini the day they came out. I could no longer sit a desk, health reasons, so this MacBook Air has permitted the use of the device anytime or place.

Great laptop. Works great and has fast processing speed. Great quality and light weight.

Great purchase to help with school. This is lightweight and fast processor.

Grat for my every day work. Super battery, love the design, ultra thin.

Sleek and lightweight! Easy to carry and is really fast! Display is crisp and clear. All in all, SO happy with my purchase! Also enjoyed the $100 off for education!

Fast and beautifully designed laptop. Battery lasts a long time. Love it!

If you are looking for something reliable, this is it! I work as an independent insurance agent and it gets the job done fast! I love it! Oh and the battery is GREAT lasts me a good 2 days before I have to charge again. (This is my experience since I use it only about 4 times a day)

A wonderful laptop at a fair price. Easy to setup and versatile in size and capabilities. This is only my second MacBook purchase over about 10 years because the products hold up well.

I’m absolutely enjoying my MacBook Air, a majority of my programs just work smoothly. Battery life is great. There’s small cons such as the fingerprint sensor at times don’t recognize my fingerprint. It could be because my finger. It’s quiet when multitasking I don’t hear the fans ramping up at all. It does it’s job, I would recommend anyone looking for an upgrade or new laptop.

This is a great laptop that is fast, easy to use and navigate. My first MacBook. All my previous laptops were HP and Toshiba. They were always getting viruses and dying. Right away I could tell the processor was far better and faster than any of my other laptops. There was a small learning curve figuring out how to navigate Apple, but the staff at Apple can give in person or on phone tutorials whenever you need them too. It is a whole other language to learn but it is definitely worth it! I'm never going back to Windows.

Definitely an upgrade from my earlier Macbook Air. I was blown away by the speed of the laptop overall, especially without having the excess noise from a fan blowing 24/7! I wouldn’t change anything about it!

I bought this to replace a laptop for school and I love it. It’s light weight, sleek design and lasting battery is great. It meets my school’s requirements so I can access online documents so far so good.

I absolutely love my Apple MacAir laptop. The speed is excellent. The battery life is fantastic. It does everything I need it to do. The quality is great and user friendly. I am very pleased with my purchase.

I am upgrading from a 2012 air. First off, the display, speakers, and trackpad are a huge upgrade and way better than any windows laptop I have ever had. This thing is also PACKED with power! I use adobe after effects and despite it using rosseta with my plugins, it performs just as good, or if not better than my desktop PC (r5 3600, RX570) Battery life on browser based tasks make this thing last many hours without being tethered to a wall.

I love love love this laptop. Perfect sized screen, love the slim design, I purchased a bluetooth mouse to go with it as I work regularly with design programs and the touch mouse isn't as conducive to that kind of work. For everything else, super easy to use. I've had Macs my whole life, this is my first laptop purchase, I am very happy with how I can link all my mobile devices too. So I can save in one place and have it ready for me on all devices later. One feature I also love is the fingerprint. Super easy to save passwords without having to remember them all!

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!

So this is just like the Intel MacBook Air from before in the same body but is much much much faster. The battery life is truly amazing use it for days on end before finally charging. When you do need to charge it charges very quickly and the standby time is phenomenal. I use this with Microsoft office, slack, Google Chrome and it all works without issue. The hype is real definitely recommendation.

Excellent performance and portability. The M1 chip is still more than enough for daily use.
