Customer Ratings & Reviews

The new M1 processor is fast. The battery life is good. Multiple monitors are not supported (only 1 external monitor unless you buy an adaptor). Some products like VMWare Fusion don't support Windows VMs yet but Parallels does. I like this product but I really dislike BestBuy's new rewards program. I bought this product on my credit card and it doesn't qualify for rewards (read the fine print). So you might want to buy this product from Apple instead of BestBuy.

I have had this model since January 2021 and have nothing but good things to say about it! I was initially apprehensive about purchasing due to the price tag, but I had heard so many people speak highly of it, so I took the chance and was pleasantly surprised! I bought it with the purpose of using it for school, so I knew it would be used heavily, and I had concerns about getting a laptop that would actually last me, at least, the duration of my program. In the past, generally, laptops have lasted me MAYBE 2 years maximum, so I am pleased to say it is now January 2024, and it works like a charm even with heavy daily use (writing papers/assignments, taking notes, participating in online classes, downloading and reading textbooks, recording presentations, as well as personal use). I completed my ADN, nursing residency, and almost the entirety of my BSN program thus far with this computer; it's my ride-or-die at this point!

Best MacBook Air ever!! Fast, reliable, gorgeous. Opening apps take just half a second. No slowdown whatsoever

This is the first mac I have ever bought and it has exceeded my expectations. It has all day battery life advertised and I can say that is a 100% true. On top of the great battery life, there's not much this great computer cant do. From casual browsing to various other more intense activities like video editing and photoshop. Do keep in mind you can always get one with better specs if you need to anything particularly that requires that.

This laptop is great. It was in great condition when I received it. I’ve had it for around 6 months or so now and it still runs as well as it did when I first got it. It also holds charge for quite a while.

Amazing purchase. Great quality, and speed. Basically does everything the other laptops do at a lower price. Very satisfied with the display and how vibrant it is! My favorite feature is the fact that I can easily log in and fill in any information in websites using my fingerprint :)

Everything that's been said about the M1 chip is true -- replaced an Intel Core i5 3.6 GHz machine with 16 GB of RAM with this unit, and in every respect it's faster, more responsive, easier to use, etc. The keyboard is best in class and approaches best in history status. The screen is gorgeous. Battery life is outstanding, it lasts me all day long even when editing photos in Lightroom. Tremendous product, even at the lowest-end configuration.

Perfect Laptop for my daughter. Fast and clean look and very light. Bought another one for family

So...how did Apple respond to this year's Macbook Air, after the last generation's monster horror show that was the jet-engine sounding fans? They only went and made this generation FANLESS. It's a simple concept really ... take the worst thing from the previous year and completely change it for the better! Oh, and nice battery life - WOW! This thing is a battery champion. Well done Apple...Well done!

My favorite small, simple task, laptop to date. Silent, stays cool, battery lasts forever. highly recommend

Works perfectly, i love how fast everything is, and its perfect to carry around with you for work and school.

Very nice laptop, quick and lightweight. Classic apple ease of use.

Best mac laptop for the price. What i Like: - Light weight, M1 chip its fast - SSD 256gb is enough for everyday task, Playing some runescape, making presentations with keynote. - Battery its great!! What i dont like: as today, nothing, my last macbook was a 2011 Macbook pro that last tills this day,

I decided to switch over to apple completely and this being my final purchase. I am ABSOLUTELY amazed at the ease of setting it up, fast, amazing screen quality, and a battery life i hadn’t seen in forever! My only gripe is the front facing camera doesn’t seem to be all that great, but if that’s all that i can gripe about it’s a perfect purchase!

Great laptop very fastest and lightweight, the model is awesome and beautiful. Excellent laptop AAA++

Apple's M1 chips are blazing fast, no need to even upgrade to their M2 or M3 just yet. Works great for my developer workflow and got up and running in minutes.

Get a MacBook. From a frequent user of PCs, if you need a great starter computer and you want one that will last and with amazing battery life, get this one. Don’t bother with the m2 chip models, I prefer the M1.

Sharp picture. Light weight. Fast processor. Battery life is much better than my Dell.

Excellent product! Fast processor. Lightweight. Only negative is there is no USB jack

I am inpressed with the performance/battery life. Screen and keyboard are pretty great. M1 cpu is the real deal.
