    Excellent laptop with Apple software behind it. I use this for FaceTime, web browsing, minor video editing, light gaming, note taking, basic office programs and more. The machine runs smooth, quiet, cool and has yet to throw any issues at me, other than me figuring out how to use MacOS. The M1 chip will keep this thing functioning for years to come.

    Pleasantly Surprised

    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!

    So far so good! I’m a Graphic Designer and I had been using the same 2013 MacBook Pro. I didn’t want to spend too much money so I decided to get one of these as my personal laptop. It is really good. I use Adobe CC on it and it does not lag at all. The battery last a long time as well. That M1 chip is really good! I also got this at an “open box” price which was such a deal. NOTE: It is still brand new and I do not do any heavy editing or designing on it (such as video editing)

    I used to do MacBook pro’s, but decided to go with a Mac Mini this last replacement. While I love the power of the mini, I missed being mobile! I was able to get this MacBook Air on sale and it’s perfect to do paperwork and internet stuff when I don’t need the heavy lifting. It’s lightweight, fast and I can access everything I need via iCloud!

    Updating from a MacBook Pro 2009, this MacBook Air was just what I wanted and more. The apple silicon is blazing fast. Battery life with the apple silicon is also amazing. I do a lot work on my laptop, but I don't use very demanding apps so I stuck with the base 8gb ram and 256gb ssd.

    It's pretty good nothing special to me wish they would make a 120hz screen on the next airs. The m1 processor is powerful and the battery is amazing and the keyboard feels great. Got it for my intro computer science classes works great runs all my code fine. You can't have netflix as an app tho and other weird things can't be apps. My 120hz complain is just because i'm used to faster screens but for school or work its great no other complaints.

    This laptop is a great all-rounder that can handle everyday tasks with ease and also do some light video and photo editing from drone footage. The battery life is excellent, lasting multiple days on a single charge with moderate usage. I'm confident that this laptop will be able to meet my needs for both work and play.

    Best all around laptop for lighter to medium use case. Very fast and responsive with little to no lag and great battery life. Easily lasts the whole work day with battery left over. Easy to carry around and throw in a sleeve or backpack. Very thin and light yet capable computer.

    I needed a new laptop, after my previous MacBook Air I had for 9 years was starting to show its age. I decided to go for the M1 Air because of the price point and performance power. It’s only been a few weeks, but there has been a world of difference. Grateful to BestBuy for the decent price and discount, as well as smooth purchasing experience.

    This MacBook Air is everything I wanted. I switched from an HP laptop, and I can’t believe the difference! The speed and the ease of use are terrific. My needs are simple- the ability to use Word and Excel and to surf the net. The M1 chip gives me that and more. My experience with Best Buy and the Geek Squad was also top notch.

    Apart from being incredibly slim and beautiful, this laptop is also incredibly lightweight, specially compared to the dinosaur I just came from being the MacBook Pro from like 2010. I got the basic seeing as I didn't need to do anything crazy on it, and it over performs on anything I've needed so far. Battery life is incredible as well when not plugged in, and charges other devices quickly. Totally recommend

    This was my final purchase to complete my apple ecosystem. I have a iMac and Mac mini and this is the perfect device to carry around in my back pack. Built solid, fast enough to do the job. Battery life is great and track pad is very fluid. I very happy with the quality and performance at this price point.

    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.
