    Owning a MacBook Air 13.3" laptop is like having a secret love affair with technology. It's whisper-thin, dangerously light, and makes you feel giddy every time you open it. It's the kind of laptop that makes you want to strut into Starbucks like you own the place, even if you're just there for the free Wi-Fi. And let's not forget about its battery life! It lasts longer than most relationships these days! But in all seriousness from its razor-thin design to its vibrant Retina display, every aspect screams sophistication. 100/10 would definitely recommend and for the price and financing with Best Buy you just can’t beat it.

    This laptop is pretty cool. there's a noticeable difference in the speed between my Samsung Chromebook with an i3 intel core vs this M1 chip. The retina display is vivid and reallyyyyy good quality. The Samsung has a specific screen for security reasons, so that when you tilt your screen backwards, people on either side of you can't see your screen. This laptop's (not Chromebook) multitasking is superb. able to handle many** different functions AT ONCE, which is important for me since I'm constantly switching through tabs and tasks. The connectivity(to a server), response to tap/click-time, display, SPEAKERS(amazing, for some reason Samsung thought it was smart to put speakers on the bottom part of the laptop) !! The only thing I wish I could change is the size of the laptop. It's really small compared to my other laptop, which was about 16 inches. it had more than enough space for my wrists to rest while I types. The force click touchpad is outdated apple :p sensory click is the new in. If this MacBook had a Touch Bar I'd be even more in love with it. I'm happy I got this, the backlit keyboard is helpful at night when you don't want to turn the lights on. overall extremely satisfied. Only thing that sucks is almost every app costs money, unlike the iPhone. Cool learning tools made specifically for Mac . :) the slate style is nice and minimalistic, sleek, business-like. It's cool that it's really light. so tiny you could lose it :p

    The MacBook Air has always been a light and easily portable choice for Mac users. The “Late 2020” model is all that, but lighter, thinner, and even easier to use. Based on Apple’s new M1 CPU, this generation of Macs is very different from the prior generations of Intel-based computers. The M1 MacBook Air has 8GB of “shared memory,” but where that might be a limitation in an Intel Mac, it’s definitely more than enough for this machine! This MacBook Air model is fast, responsive, and really easy to use. It has only two ports: two USB4/Thunderbolt (USB-C) ports for charging and any peripherals you might need. We bought a USB-C hub to allow the use of a USB-3 external drive for Time Machine backups, watching movies with an external DVD drive and so on. Sure, you could do those things wirelessly (including watching digital versions of those movies), but we wanted to avoid wireless bandwidth bottlenecks. Finally, the MacBook/MacBook Air line has evolved from a plain aluminum case (gorgeous, but kind of bland nowadays) to aluminum or Space Gray, to finally adding a gold option. Since it’s my wife’s primary computer (and a late Christmas present), we went with gold. ;)

    My first Apple computer

    This base-model MacBook Air is really a great machine. I am not an Apple person, and the last Apple device I have owned was a 2009 Ipod Shuffle. I've been using Windows for the better part of the last 30 years and this is my first Mac OS computer, but getting used to the OS differences thus far hasn't been that big of a deal. For general tasks, my Air seems as fast and sometimes faster than my heavy Windows gaming laptop with an54 watt 8-core Ryzen 4800H chip and it runs Chrome better than my Chromebook (m3 Pixelbook Go that I will now give to my mother). I really like the aspect ratio of the display and the trackpad is the best that I've used. I prefer the keyboard on my work Lenovo X1 carbon and I think I even prefer the Pixelbook Go's keyboard to the Air's, or at least I still type faster on those machines, but the AIr's is still very good. I do occasionally miss having a touch screen - generally for scrolling webpages, using calculator apps - but no big deal. More ports, or at least having one on each side, would be nice but hasn't proven terribly limiting in my use-case. Battery life is phenomenal. No regrets here and very glad Apple is shaking things up with the new silicon.

    I had always had HP laptops. I have an iPad and iPhone and when looking for new laptop, after reading lots of reviews on tech sites and by customers, I decided to try this MacBook Air with the M1 chip. I am really glad I did. It is fast, works well with my HP printer. The track pad is so responsive and easy to use. I never liked using my old laptop much unless with a mouse, it was so hard to do anything on. I prefer this trackpad to a mouse. Keyboard is good, easy to use and lit up letters. There was a little learning curve switching to a Mac but I am loving it. I can't believe the difference in how long the charge lasts. With moderate use, it lasts for days, and charges up quickly. I also enjoy that it doesn't have the awful loud fan and doesn't get hot in my lap. I can't see ever going back to the other laptops again. I know people that got the pro because they have a business, etc. For me, for casual use and a little business related stuff, this one is awesome. I recommend!

    This is such an amazing little laptop. I am coming from Windows 10 which is perfectly fine for desktop/laptop use but this latest update from Apple is hands down the biggest leap in computing I've seen. The battery life is beyond outstanding and is the most I have ever seen on a laptop. No fans and no heat when doing heavy tasks unlike my old Windows laptop which sounds like a jet taking off. User experience is amazing for a beginner to Mac OS (like me) and I have had no issues getting everything set up. The speed of this little laptop is by far better than anything I've ever used. No long loading times, no sluggish performance, instant on, etc. I'm not very tech savy in the Apple ecosystem but I can say that this little piece of hardware is an absolute game changer.

    TL;DR Get it. It's great. I want to preface this with I bought this M1 MacBook to replace my 2012 MBP. It was a tank with many, many ports. It still stings that it finally died. My initial hesitance about this M1 MacBook is that it doesn't have nearly enough ports. I know, we're moving to a wireless world. But I really enjoy my ports. Despite not having enough ports I absolutely love this machine. It's beautiful. It's fast. The keyboard is wonderful. The color? UNBELIEVABLE. Frankly, the battery life is absurdly good. I've had this machine for almost a month and I have only had to charge it once. Granted I don't use it a ton, but it's still impressive. It's so light and easy to handle I can't believe I lugged my tank MBP around for so long. If you're looking to upgrade and are worried about missing your ports or it being too small/light, then you'll be pleasantly surprised. I genuinely don't miss my ports much and the dongles aren't nearly as much of a hassle as I anticipated. Switching to a lighter weight machine has been fine and I don't miss the heaft of my old MBP at all.
