    Best performance-per-dollar/watt over Intel+AMD

    After using the newest 11th gen Intel i7, Ryzen 4900HS and now this M1, the M1 wins hands down on performance, efficiency and value. The new Ryzen 5900HS might be a solid contender, but in terms of performance per dollar, the M1 is going to hold the crown for 2021 until Apple releases their next gen MX laptop. If you can find this on an open-box deal, just buy it.

    The M1 13" MacBook Air is the first time that Apple's entry priced laptop needed no excuses about performance, screen and build quality. Aluminum case, Retina display, responsive and accurate Trackpad all point to a premium product.

    LOVE my mac! This is my first macbook and I am not disappointed. I have always loved the mac interface, and when my previous laptop died, I wanted to get something that would talk to my other apple products. Fast, clean, easy to use.

    I'm a Mac girl and have been for over 14 years. There's just something about a Mac and while I still have my MacBook Pro from 2009, and still works like a gem, albeit a little slower, this MacBook Air that I purchased is a wonderful replacement and I enjoy it immensely. It's crisp and works like a charm.

    I had purchased the refurbished intel version from Apple but after looking at this, I returned it and bought an open box excellent from Best Buy. Here’s why. I video hockey games, edit them in Camtasia and export to MP4 for posting to Vimeo. The intel version took 55 minutes, faster than my 2013 MacBook Pro. The M1 version took let than six minutes. Any questions?

    As wilth all my Macbook purchases, this one does not disappoint. I was frustrated that they not longer have curbside pick up and I had to go inside with Covid to pick this up for my son but otherwise a pleasant transaction.

    Once upon a time (2012-2015) I worked for Apple in their AHA department. I'm an Apple expert. This is by far the best MacBook they have ever released and in time their self-produced processors will become even more powerful. Don't hesitate to buy this or another of the M1 models. But for the money, you cannot go wrong with the 8GB Ram MBA.

    This is the third Apple max air that I’ve bought at best buy in the last three years. I bought each of my grandkids one when they graduated. I give a 5 star overall rating because they all love theirs and have had no problems at all with them.

    As expected Apple is a premier product. I’m still figuring out the new MacBook Air so time will tell but I’m sure it’ll all be good since my last MacBook was 13yrs old. Love the color.
