    Great Starter Macbook

    I wanted to get into the full Apple ecosystem since I have an iPhone and an iPad so I decided to get a MacBook Air for school. I was able to get one at a good price, and the laptop itself was very light and worked really fast. I was happy with how fast webpages load, and how snappy the MacBook was. I am normally a avid windows user, but this MacBook performs amazing for the test that I needed for my class. I would definitely recommend for someone who wants to get into the Apple ecosystem with all three devices as you can, AirDrop files, photos, and more between devices.

    I had a 2017 macbook air which got damaged due to water, it would work but only if the charger was connected, when apple released this new macbook air with m1 chip, I bought it, this is probably the best laptop I ever had, faster then earlier macbook and windows laptops, can open multiple sessions without this ever slowing down, battery life is excellent, I get minimum two days out of it, I am very happy with the purchase

    This new chip model is much faster than old one. The battery is much longer and does not get hot like the old one.

    Had a broken 2012 MacBook Pro and decided to upgrade. My apple store didn’t have the pink MacBook Air in stock but luckily our nearest Best Buy did. The associate helped me get up to speed with modern tech and explained the warranty to me. Easiest purchase I’ve ever made! Happy with my new laptop!!! If you’ve been on the fence about whether do go for it, just do it! Support Best Buy at that.

    I own two Mac Airs. One from 2014 and this one. I would like to compare the two because I feel there are some features on the older version that are more desirable. 1. The Battery The new Mac battery lasts forever and charges quickly with a USB-C port. I favor the older magnetic charger but that's a small thing. 2. Display The new display is very clear however, the screen extends to the very edge of the device similar to the iPhone. So if you drop this device you're screwed. I dropped my 2014 and it dented the edge of the screen but didn't break the glass because of the extra aluminum edge. I don't think the new Mac screen would survive this.3. The web camThe 2014 is very dark for some reason. The new Mac seems to have fixed this issue with a nice and clear video. 4. USB ports The 2014 has 2 USB-A ports, a lighting connection port, phone jack and an SDXC card slotThe new Mac only has two USB- C ports and a headphone jack! so you need a number of adapters to connect anything which is quite annoying especially since my wireless mouse uses an old USB-A Apple only sells limited adapters so you need to buy PC adapters which I'm not crazy about. However I have a dual USB-A adapter from Dell that works great 5. The ChipThe M1 chip is lighting fast. Even though my 2014 has an 1.4 Ghz dual core 15, it doesn't compare.6. The famous logolt's another little thing but, I liked the illuminated apple logo on the back of the 2014. Maybe its no longer there to extend battery life? Idk but I thought it was a nice feature that separated apple from the rest.

    Student/Creative review of Macbook Air M1

    I love this MacBook. I did expect it to be a bit lighter in weight, it almost felt like my MacBook Pro. But super fast and compact! No issue with memory either.

    WOW just WOW is what I said when I saw how thin and light this guy or gal is and how lighting fast the new M1 processor is. This laptop is proof that Apple listens to the customers and is always evolving. I love the way the keyboard feels and the idea that I am able to edit from a base model MacBook is insane. This is the laptop I would buy for any and all up and coming YouTube creators or kids in general for their school work.

    I hesitated for a long time making this purchase. I kept giving myself every reason to not buy an expensive laptop. But it was worth every single penny. I LOVE my MacBook. The Touch ID is super cool. It starts up right away. Battery lasts FOREVER. And I LOVE the color. And the communication between the MacBook and iPhone is so cool. I can pull up whatever I’m looking up on one device on the other with ease. I’m so happy with my purchase.

    Apple Has Done it Again!

    The moment Apple decided to make their own chips, all bets were off. This machine is a beast. The M1 chip has this computer loading webpages and apps fast! I can go a week without charging this computer, even with fair use. The screen is crisp and clear. The keyboard and track pad are highly responsive. Having multiple apps open doesn’t slow it down. I am blown away. Also, the speakers are loud and clear. No distortion.

    Got this as a gift for my wife who uses it for writing, web browsing, simple games, etc. She likes the form factor and MacOS ease of use. Display is nice too.

    This thing is amazing. I went from an intel i7 model that I had a couple years to this and yeah some would say it is a downgrade but I get way more battery life and it still is very fast. I use it mainly for programming so it works great. I did go on and later get the Mac Studio for more graphic intensive things like 3D modeling but if that it your main thing I would go for the M1 Pro or Max

    M1 power on the go! If you’re looking for a thin and light machine with a great display look no further! This replaced a 11.6” Macbook Air and is almost identical in dimensions. Ultraportable with 18+ hours of battery life running the brilliant MacOS.

    I recently purchased an open-box MacBook Air from Best Buy and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed with my experience. Despite being labeled as "open-box," the product was practically brand new – everything was pristine and in perfect condition. What's even better is that opting for the open-box option saved me $30 compared to purchasing a brand new one. The MacBook Air's 8GB of RAM is more than sufficient for my needs, allowing for smooth and efficient performance. Additionally, the battery life is exceptional; I can go for two days without needing to recharge, which is incredibly convenient for my busy schedule. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my purchase – it's been a seamless and delightful experience from start to finish.
