    Although I would never buy MacOS for myself, I use my girlfriends sometimes and it’s pretty good. Initially using the OS was a bit confusing but got the hang of it rather quickly. I will say if you utilize the apple ecosystem, you really have a great product in your hands.

    Amazing upgrade from any previous macbook air and 13” pros. You get 3x the cpu performance and 5x the graphics performance. That is insane gains for any laptop/notebook. I highly recommend this laptop for everyone and the macbook pro if you need the extra gpu core, cpu fan for heavy workloads, longer battery life, 25% brighter screen, and better speakers and microphone.

    After reading many reviews, I opted for Macbook Air M1 instead of the newer model for my daughter at college. She says it is a beast, handles multiple tasks at the same time. Solid purchases with NO regrets for not getting current model

    Super happy with this, as is our son who uses it for daily computer tasks. We borrow it for video editing, which it performs super fast (compared to a Windows device, as well as an older iMac). Importing, editing, and rendering video takes up way less time (under a half hour for short clips) than it used to (rendering itself would take over an hour).

    Easy adoption when you're into the apple family with iphones, airpods and so on. Easy to navigate and great design. Best buy price was a bit cheaper than the apple store and, besides that, we could use some rewards cash points so happy with the purchase.

    So excited about my 1st Mac! It’s very fast and multi tasking is incredibly easy supposedly due to the M1 chip. I love that it’s tied to my iPhone and I can seamlessly work from one device to the other without issue. Bought this as an open box - excellent condition certified and cleaned by the Geek squad. Wouldn’t notice the difference between this and a brand new Mac directly from Apple.

    Very good battery life and speed on this MacBook. The M1 chip can run many programs at once and run them quickly. Great for school or work. There are still some bugs on the OS which will for sure be fixed on the next updates for it.

    Capable for most all teacher tasks. Using Chrome allows for designing student projects to be done on Chromebooks. If working virtually it does have limitations: running hardwired external TV screen while presenting video over a Zoom is too much (using Air Cast is better).

    You don't get what you pay for; poor battery life

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    While aesthetically pleasing, the laptop does not perform to the level one would expect for the price tag. The brushed metal casing/finish is great and feels smooth below the palms, the touch bar is helpful for certain functions and spellchecking, the interface is sleek and easy to use as one would expect with an apple product. Less than 3 months into using the laptop I am already experiencing the "spinning rainbow wheel of death" on a pretty regular basis, and having different applications stall out or be "unresponsive" on a regular basis. The performance of the M1 chip is nothing to be impressed with, and performs at the same level if not below an i5 processing chip that you would find in a regular PC laptop. The most frustrating part of this laptop would have to be the battery life. I use zoom, an internal messaging platform, and a project management tool for work and the battery probably lasts for about 5-6 hours MAX before needing to be plugged in again and re-charged. I would strongly encourage anyone who has a $800-$1000+ budget to explore the other brands that exist in the PC world, you are likely to find a tremendous amount of greater value for the price.
