    Sturdy, well built with fast performing upload/download on cloud and hard drive. Battery life is outstanding, easy to use and doesn’t walk you through a million settings like windows. Buy once-cry once. I use this for photography, also purchased an external hard drive that’s easy to use and save files to.

    I am very pleased with my order, I am able to do everything I need to on this laptop such as Microsoft Word, Excel, Notes, and PowerPoint. This laptop is easy to use there are not many options arcade wise if you wanted to play games. But, being a virtual college student due to the pandemic I am able to use Zoom. Downloading apps or software you need is also fast and reliable. It didn’t take long to learn how to use special keys to navigate the laptop easier.

    This laptop has made college so much easier. In todays age everything is digitalized and this computer has saved me so much time and energy. All of my university services and textbooks are easily accessible and the sleek and compact design allows me to carry it in my backpack and not have to worry about bulky mess or excessive weight. I love the Touch ID feature, it maintains security with convenience and the processing speed is more than fast enough to keep up with the needs of a student.

    I love this computer. It's really fast and can run many programs simultaneously without any drop in performance. The screen is bright and high-res, and the battery really does last all day. I was worried that it would be a step down from my previous MacBook Pro, but I haven't missed a thing. I've purchased two of these, for both myself and my wife. They are more than enough for medical and/or graduate school.

    Great So Far

    Been having mine for a month now and I love it. I added a pic of how it appears with a clear case that I bought off of Amazon and it looks even better and sleek (I kinda like that the logo doesn’t glow, it makes it look more classier in my opinion). Fall semester starts next week for me, so I’ll really get to test out and see how it actually functions for hours at a time. On that note, so far so good. Everything runs smooth and the battery life is great. Depending on how much you use your laptop, sometimes I’ll only need to charge my MacBook 2x a week. 10/10

    Love love this computer. It's my first Mac laptop, and so far it has worked better than any of my other laptops. Its fast, you can custom it, and a good amount of storage. The battery lasts me about 4-5 days but I use it all day long. was looking for a good laptop for my university classes and this has worked for everything I need.

    I love that I was able to get my hands on this beautiful, rose gold laptop. It's the perfect size for my tiny hands and I like the size of the laptop overall. The screen isn't too big either, The keypad has black keys, making the rose gold color stand out more. Super cute! If you love Apple products and have always been familiar with iPhones & iPads, I recommend this laptop as you can connect your devices together!

    Just Another Great Macbook from Apple

    I love my MacBook Air. I purchased it on Sale to add to my Apple Collection of work devices. The best thing I love about this device is how smooth it sync with my other Apple products. I wish it had a touch screen not sure what the hold up is other than that’s what they sale ipads for. Lol This version is a great everyday laptop. It’s not slow but I’m sure a Macbook would handle more complex tasks better. I have two 13inch iPad Pros and they are all about the same in height, weight and screen resolution. Functionality is the separating factor.

    Apple Over Marketed/Promised

    I bought this knowing it was geek certified but that's irrelevant in my review of the Macbook Air M1. PROS: It's definitely a step ahead of the last MacBook Airs. I would say the person this is for are creators who use adobe photoshop, iMovie, multiple tabs open, music playing, etc. It's genuinely pretty good for a MacBook Air. iMovie videos render in like lets say a 5minute video in 1080p 1GB, 2-3 minutes. That's a huge improvement. However, this is not for you if you use any video-making application that is not yet running on Apple's Silicone. It's not to say that it doesn't work. A lot of Intel products work through Rosetta. I'm not sure if this is going to be fixed since the new MacBook Airs M2 should be dropping in a few months. So I guess if you're a creator who only uses Apple applications like iMovie, and if you can find a M1 version of any application you use that's based on intel, you should be fine. But a lot of us who use adobe creative suite, powerdirector, cricut, silhouette, it's not a good idea to pick this up. I'm not sure if there is going to be a software update that fixes this but what happens is that with 8gb of ram, intel apps use about 7gb of the ram and so you're forced to shut down your work. Even JC can't save your hard work if you're editing a video or writing an essay. Overall, I don't blame anyone but myself and Apple. They overpromised on a product that had the potential to be great. It's just to bad they don't allow us to add more ram. It's hard to criticize them because I depend on MacOS but this really has to change with them. 8GB is not enough for anything anymore. Don't get wrong, take a look at your diagnostics and see how much the m1 is killing your SSD (or lifetime expectancy). This usually doesn't move numbers for a year or two but users are already seeing their MacBooks life expectancy start ticking, Ideally, this MacBook should have never been released as an 8GB Memory, it should have started at 16GB because every day the MacBook is being used it won't last as long as the original intels. I'm thinking of returning mine and going back to intel with just a higher ram and processor. we'll see. I'm actually thinking of leaving macOS and going back to windows because this is just sad.

    I recently bought this MacBook Air 13.3" from Best Buy, and my satisfaction knows no bounds. This laptop has completely exceeded my expectations with its superb performance, unmatched portability, and exceptional battery life. Portability is where the MacBook Air truly shines.

The laptop's display quality is outstanding, with vibrant colors and sharp resolution. True Tone technology ensures comfortable viewing in various lighting conditions. Additionally, the keyboard and trackpad are top-notch, enhancing productivity and usability.

    What an excellent machine the M1 mba is! I got the 8gb RAM / 256gb SSD and if cuts like a hot knife through butter when I present any creative challenge like editing photos and video for hrs. The battery lasts an entire week and it charges within a few hours. I went from an iMac and iPad Pro 12.9 combo to the M1 mba and couldn’t be happier. I sold both to purchase the mba and I feel like I’ve smooshed them together to create the portable desktop that boots up and performs like an ipad.

    It’s such a pretty laptop works great for what I do (mostly use zoom, google drive, send emails, etc) I love that it starts working right at away and I don’t have to wait 10 minutes for everything to start, I absolutely love it. It’s a great laptop if you have a “budget” but if you don’t I would just go with the newer one.

    Great purchase so far! It does take a little bit of time to adjust from primarily using windows computers. I enjoy how lightweight this MacBook is! It runs super fast, it’s very customizable, and it does all that I personally need it to do. I wouldn’t get this MacBook if you expect to run large games, but it’s great for general usage such as school work or playing stardew valley! It has a super long battery life too!
