    Just switched from being a forever windows user...now that pretty much everything is web based I figured now is a good time to drive into the Mac and apple ecosystem. Everything is great after I figured the workaround using display link for the 2nd monitor support. The M1 is super fast and the hardware is silent.

    It’s an amazing MacBook. My boyfriend bought it for his work and I bought one for my school. It easy to use and it has great features, not to mention the long lasting battery life.

    Loving it so far. Powerful. Quiet. Great for casual web browsing and even running more demanding design software. If you’re deciding between this and the MacBook Pro (like I was), save your money. If you’re not sure, then you really don’t need the one the costs $2k.

    My dinosaur (MacBook Pro) saved the day

    Processing is excellent. Loved it! I returned the computer after 2 days because the screen went blank; I thought I had gotten the Black Screen of Death. The only way one could see what was happening was connecting my tv and using it as a monitor. I called Apple Support after trying different commands with no success. They told me to just return it to Best Buy and NOT use up my Apple Care. I felt a little bad for the Apple agents. They were having a hard time since it’s a new processor. I got another MacBook Air M1. Let’s see what happens with this one. I’m sure I just got a lemon. The irony: My dinosaur (11 years old) MacBook Pro, ended up saving my day, since my MacBook Air went blank. If it happens again, then we know Apple screwed up.

    awesome laptop. the M1 chip is literally a game changer. Will never go back to intel chip laptops that sound like a 747 jet airliner in a cold winter Christmas Eve when youre trying to make it home for the holidays and youre worried about the weather getting worse from the winter storm.

    Let's get it out of the way from the start - this laptop is an amazing bargain (check out the frequent sale prices!) that offers MBP performance at a low price. Good speed, good processing power, fantastic battery life combine for either your next Mac or your very first one.

    My first apple product when it came to computers, I love this thing! I work mostly with paperwork, emails, little marketing design and the only thing I wish I had was more storage. I have 256 but I recommend the 512. Also gold isn’t really gold it’s more rose gold which I love!

    Good solid construction, great performance and great battery life. Runs games better than last generation high end macs. You may want to upgrade to the next model up with more storage especially if this is your only computer. Paid $999 in Nov 2020.

    Great Computer - Cable has a smell to it.

    A very good computer for the money. Very capable and real-world battery is about 9 to 10 hours. The reason for the 4 out of 5 is the cable it came with. I ordered this computer twice and both times the cable it came with smelled toxic. I returned the first one and the second one had the same smell so I just replaced the cable myself. Not sure how wide spread this is but I have heard this on blogs and with my own experience. But, as far as the hardware you cannot go wrong for the price and speed of the new M1 Macbook. The fanless unit is also a pleasure to work with if you don't like fans buzzing.

    Took a bit to get used to since it’s a different operating system than windows or what I am used to in the past, but I will tell you the system exceeded my expectations… It is so much faster and there’s so much more available on a MacBook versus any other laptop I have had… I had nothing but problems with HPs, especially with them being so slow. My laptop was an HP and I always stood by their products. However, this last one was brand new and I had problems with it right out of the gate so if you are looking for a great product, I would save your extra money and make sure you get some space For what you need other than that it is a great system

    This is the perfect laptop for everyday use. The M1 chip is plenty for the vast majority of users for years to come. Unbelievably light and portable, fantastic track pad and a great battery.
