    Excellent lightweight small screen laptop

    The M1 "Air" laptop is all that most people need for general purpose use - it has 8 GB of memory and 256 GB of solid state disk and an excellent 13.3 inch screen - plenty for email, light word processing, light gaming, school work, light artwork, has a good built-in camera, microphone and speakers, etc. Mac computers come with an excellent complement of easy-to-use Mac software for general purpose use and, recently, Stacksocial has been offering a great deal on MS Office 2021 for Mac that extends that ecosystem to the Mac, too. It is fast, responsive, extremely reliable, and is very easy and pleasant to use. Most people only use 30 to 50 GB of "disk" storage (this computer uses much faster solid state disk - not less-reliable and slower hard disk). It is comparatively light and thin as laptops go and is easy to carry. The power supply is not clunky and attaches magnetically. All-in-all a good choice, especially at its current discounted price. The M1 generation of Mac chips is similar to but not quite as fast as the M2 generation but is architecturally very similar - there is little to fear that the M1 will become obsolete in the near future. The *one* drawback is that this computer has only 2 Thunderbolt ports for wired connections. Thus, if you want to have a hardwired Ethernet connection (faster and more secure) than the built-in WiFi, you need to buy an external Thunderbolt (not just a USB C-type) dock that includes an Ethernet port. Similarly, if you want to use the computer with a larger, say a 24 or a 27 inch screen you need to have an HDMI port on the dock. And if you have other kinds of devices that you use that have USB A connections the dock must have those, too. There are several reliable docks on the market, so if you need one, they are available. Just make sure that the dock has the kinds and number of ports that you need. I recommend this computer if you need a light and very portable general purpose Mac.

    I just got this for Christmas. With having lots of papers and grading to do in my final semester of school, this laptop seemed like a really good fit. My dad has the 2015 version of this laptop and it is still running very well. So far, I am loving it. The computer runs pretty fast. I also enjoy having the Touch Bar option at the top of the computer. My main worry was that this computer was going to be heavy, but its pretty lightweight. I would recommend this computer to anyone who is in need of a good everyday computer.

    I recently got my hands on the MacBook Air 13 M1, and let me tell you, it's a total game-changer! The M1 chip is a beast – everything's crazy fast, from video editing to juggling a dozen apps at once. No fan noise, and it stays cool even when I'm pushing it hard. The Retina display is stunning, with vivid colors and True Tone making everything look gorgeous. Plus, it's so darn lightweight and slim that I carry it everywhere without even noticing. The battery life is no joke – all-day power for my non-stop hustle. The Magic Keyboard is comfy, and Touch ID adds a cool security touch. Seriously, if you want a laptop that's as powerful as it is portable, the MacBook Air 13 M1 is the real deal. Highly recommend!

    I am brand new to the Mac world...this little machine is just amazing! It is fast, responsive, easy to use, light to carry around. It seems so far to have a good battery life. I love the bluetooth connectivity, so I can connect to bluetooth mouse and my Bluetooth head phones and away I go. so glad I made the switch, don't see myself going back to PC world

    This thing is great. I'm a 3D model amateur who uses Blender. I also write a lot of code. To summarize, I am a power user. Blender works really really well. The only instance where I found this computer's limit was RAM-related tasks, such as fluid simulations, which I have never seen a laptop handle that. It did everything else with ease. Sure, rendering in cycles is slower than an RTX-powered PC, but it still does the job fine. (Note: I do not think it is a good idea to render on an M1 chip, as it is unknown at this time what putting it under 100% load for long periods of time. With that said, I'm gonna keep doing it.) Also, can we talk about battery life?! This thing lasts forever! I honestly charge it every couple of days if I'm just writing code! If I, a power user, can fully utilize this thing with my insane workflows then you can absolutely justify getting this. I'd like to point out the 2 flaws though: One external display without some crazy expensive accessories. 256GB Storage isn't ideal for me, but hey, I didn't want to shell out $250 to double that storage. I picked up a Samsung T5 SSD to cover that issue. If you need a new computer, this is the one. No question about it. I have recommended this computer to so many people since I bought it early this year.

    Ordinarily, I am a Windows guy, partly because I am a self-employed accountant and therefore a heavy user of Microsoft Office, especially Excel. While Office products are available for MacOS, objectively they don't hold a candle to Office on Windows, period. I am also not a big fan of MacOS, partly because I am more comfortable in Windows. All that being said, Apple's already excellent hardware is taken to an entirely new level with the M1 processor. Apple really knocked it out of the park. The combination of performance, heat management, battery life, screen quality and brightness are incredible. You simply cannot get a fanless Windows 10 laptop that performs like this at any price - and this is less than $1,000! The next time you hear someone say all Macs or Apple products are overpriced, point them to this.

    The best Mac for the everyday user on the go!

    Do you want the best Mac for use at home at the best price? Get a Mac mini M1 and round it out with your own peripherals. Need to do some casual browsing, games, emails and shopping? Get an iPad--literally any iPad. Even the entry-level one. Need the best of of both? Get this laptop. It has crazy-long battery life. Fantastic performance for all the basic-medium level tasks. All in a thin and light package on the go. Could you make do with an iPad Pro? Yeah, but it's nice to have the stability of the keyboard built-in with the heft of a metal chassis as opposed to a keyboard case and also MacOS for whatever program you need to use for productivity or work. With the M1 processor you get power and battery life in a nice balance so for the average user this is a great product if you NEED to be in the Apple ecosystem. Otherwise get a Chromebook or Windows laptop. With that said, MacBooks tend to last many years and hold their value well. I have spotted it on sale here at Best Buy as low as $750 but overthought it, missed out and then jumped on it at $799 a few months later. Safe to say it's been a great product for my stated use-case and if you can catch it on sale it's a Best Buy!

    The M1 MacBook Air is amazing. It has the power to run all my applications with no lag. I was initially concerned since the device doesn't have a fan. I know that in order to conserve resources the laptop will slow down certain apps. I have had the laptop for over a month and never experienced any issue or slow down. I have been on FaceTime while uploading video with no discernible lag. I have owned MacBooks for over 11 years. This model is by far the best I have ever used. Apple has made immense strides with the new M1 chip. The battery life is amazing. I use my computer six to eight hours a day. Even with that, I only have to charge the laptop twice a week at most. It's great to be able to go outside and work in the yard and not have to drag cords along. I love my MacBook Air and for the price, it's a phenomenal value.

    I bought this Macbook to replace my laptop as it has been slowing down to its age. I wasn't expecting much for this purchase, but I was blown away at how fast it is. I know it's only a slight difference on how much time it saves, but it adds up. Not having to wait on processes or pages to catch up has been incredibly refreshing. I haven't had a chance to fully explore its features, but aside from its speed, the display is beautiful and its ability to adapt to harsh sunlight makes it the perfect choice to be my daily carry. Lastly, the battery life is amazing. I always carry a charger but this laptop lasts for days between charges despite its constant use. If you're looking for a solid laptop for work or school, I feel like this is the best choice for its price.

    Bought this as an experiment fully expecting to return it and now I love it. Runs Microsoft 365 apps, Slack and Zoom super fast. Triple the battery life of my Windows laptops and super light. Only a few downsides for me. Using it to connect to Windows shared drives is slow and file management (copy and paste weirdness. I knew this beforehand which is one reason I didn’t think I’d keep it). Also the inability to run all my iPad apps and of course no touch screen (another reason I thought I’d return it but I got used to it). Highly recommend.

    I am in love with her ( MacBook Air)

    I absolutely love my new MacBook Air. I have wanted a MacBook Air for years and finally decided to get one. I am a 50 something year old college student so with Covid forcing classes to be online I joined a Zoom study group and I was the oldest person in the study group ( the other 4 girls were age 18 to early 40’s) I was also the only one without a MacBook. I felt old and out of place with my 15 inch 2013 Hp lol!!! So about a week before the class ended I bought my MacBook Air with the M1 chip. I love her. She ( my MacBook Air lol) is sleek, fast and sassy . I will never go back to Window. I also own an iPhone, Apple Watch, IPad mini and a older version Apple TV and IPad yes as you can see I love Apple products. My kids ( who are now grown) and I also owned Apple IPods . My husband still use one of my iPods to workout with .I was kind of afraid to purchase A MacBook because I have always used a PC with windows operating systems and I was told that the MacBook works differently than Windows but I guess because all of my other products were Apple products it’s not hard at all to learn this system and I also use YouTube to help me. Did I mentioned that I love love my MacBook Air. I also got the student discount so I only paid $899 so with the $100 I saved I bought the Magic Mouse 2.

    Laptop is super fast and battery life is solid. The computer boots up really quick. If you are looking at the M2 chips in the new models do not let that deter you from the M1 model, still have no performance issues with M1. My wife loves the gold color. Very happy with purchase.

    The MacBook Air is one of the best performing and longest lasting consumer systems. I had my last one since 2016 and still running strong. This one with the M1 chip is fast, light and super good on battery
