    Best laptop I’ve owned thus far

    For my first Mac purchase, I’m impressed. My only other experience with laptops are Windows machines that are more on the economic side of the spectrum so they usually get the job done but can’t take on a task load and leave a lot to be desired. I don’t use it for much besides music, social media, light browsing and surfing the web. It seems to do all those tasks fluidly and interchangeably well. The battery life is okay but I notice considerable energy consumption when I include an usb hub in the mix. Would recommend to a friend or family.

    Lightweight, easy to use. Gold color is nicer-looking than I expected it to be. Of course as an Apple user I like that it connects to all my other devices.

    Best laptop I ever owned. The specs are great, it doesn't get overheated, is very smooth, and the battery lasts a pretty long time as well.

    Not having had an upgrade in over 10 years, I had some challenges at understanding changes to Microsoft. Fortunately, the help feature did help to update my understanding. I was pleasantly surprised at how well the battery life has been holding up. I can go extended periods without charging. I’m feeling less like a technophobe each time I log in.

    Is 8GB enough?

    Amazing speed, even through Rosetta 2 translation. However, I found that opening certain combinations of stuff such as a second monitor (because the video memory uses the unified memory, VS Code, Github, 4 tabs of chrome, and DataGrip made this computer a bit sluggish (as to be expected). I would be using 8-10 GB of swap. I've since then upgraded to the 13" pro with 16gb, and then the 14" pro with 16gb. Its super fast CPU and fast swap storage didn't compensate for the 8GB, as I foolishly thought it would.

    Great computer for my kid’s first year of college. Was on sale and for a Mac with M1, it was a great deal. This seems solid and should last.

    Purchased this for my daughter going off to college. Was the best purchase I could have made. The price was unbeatable and the quality is incomparable. The experience at Best buy was top notch. Employees were really knowledgeable about the product. That is what sold me to getting the MacBook. will be returning again soon.
