Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought for highshool senior graduation to prepare for college. Easy to use , fast. I own a Mac pro and it runs pretty close to it. Good buy overall for future college student.

This M1 MacBook Air offers very snappy performance for most tasks. Unless you're a serious video or photo processor, this laptop is probably speedy enough for your needs. I recommend that anyone who likes to run a lot of applications at once, or have a lot of browser tabs open, be mindful of the memory capacity. But, 8 GB should be enough for most people. The battery life is amazing, just as all the reviews say. The webcam is, in my opinion, the only real downside of this device.

I purchased this laptop for my daughter for school and she absolutely loves it. Her last room was dropped in water and pretty much destroyed. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise this thing is lightning fast and handles everything any highschooler could possibly throw at it!

I never owned an Apple laptop before. Things I like: light weight, GREAT battery life, coordination with my phone. We’ll built- you can see the quality. Things I’m not too keen on: different than pc’s opera rating system- takes some getting used to. Not being able to use Excel, Word etc unless you download the programs for Mac. Some things like resizing pictures and cutting and pasting, although it’s something I’ll probably get used to. All in all I’m happy so far- takes some getting used to but will work out in time.

I dont have to charge it for days at a time and it works very quickly. Has been working perfect for online colleges I’ve been looking into. Love the color too

Perfect for my 14-yr-old daughter! The size, performance and aesthetics of the laptop are exactly what we wanted. She loves it!!

i bought my first Apple product 15 years ago, and have been a solid fan ever since, but this MacBook Air tops my experience and enthusiasm for the brand. This is a mind blowing computer, with its speed, its incredible battery life. Amazing product. Recommend this Air without a single reservation !!

I don't tend to use Apple products outside of Apple TV and iPad Pros. I have had MacBooks provided by my employers in the past so I'm at least able to navigate MacOS OK, but I wanted something to really experiment with without worrying about ruining company equipment. I'm used to using heavier gaming laptops with larger screens, so this feels almost like a toy. It's incredibly light, has what I would consider insane battery life and is... fine. I've been looking around for apps or uses that Macs are outstanding at (and yes, I realize it's an Air and not a Pro) but so far the only application I've used where it noticeable outperforms any of my Windows laptops is with Ableton Live 11. There is no noticeable lag using my MIDI keyboards and controllers, where with my Windows laptops it's not possible to record live without turning off the speakers because the lag is so bad. The interoperability with my iPad Pro is pretty impressive. I haven't really dug into what's possible yet, but have used my iPad as a second display and the setup is simple and seamless. I'm still trying to dig into use cases for this MacBook vs my windows laptops and there aren't many. It's not capable of being a primary gaming system, though it can easily handle some of the less intensive Mac-compatible games I have on Steam. I may be using it as my primary music recording/producing system going forward, though. And it's so light and capable enough that I can easily see using this first when I go on vacation or just want a laptop with me to use at a cafe or wherever. I suspect my initial rating may change with more use and my limited experience with Macs in general makes it difficult for me to evaluate the M1 chip. Bottom line, I'd say if portability is your highest priority and you don't need high performance for gaming or intensive creative work, it's pretty decent. Though you could probably get by with a Windows laptop for half the price for general computing.

The best laptop at this price. Superb performance and battery life. The person who attended me at the Best Buy Shop explained me well

I keep trying the OSX envirnonment. The one thing that sends me back to MS? I am addicted to a touch screen. I tried for six months. I kept using my iPad or Windows 2 in 1. Finally took a bath and traded this in. Not because of it's OS, not because it was too fast. Not because the speakers were plenty good and loud. The screen was great, maybe a bit too bright for me at it's highest setting. Oh and the battery life. Come on man! 14 plus hours? Who needs that much battery life? I gave up all this, over a touch screen? Yup, pretty much. Apple has a problem with competition. They are a bit self hating. They wont put OSX on their new M1 iPad pro. So as not to eat away at their MacBook sales. They won't put a touch screen on their MB Air....well, you get the point. So, Surface Pro 8 with an i7 16 gig set up will have to do. If I could only recall where I put my screen cleaning cloth.

Best for the bucks. M1 is actually more powerful than I thought. And it looks really good.

Bought for nursing school and love it. It’s small enough to be portable yet still does a lot. Debated between this and pro and ultimately happy with my decision.

We love the power and the way this machine likes to please. Fast moving and it makes our work a breeze!! We definitely don’t consider it a chore working on anything we need to get done. I was put off a bit at first by the smaller keyboard real estate that it came with, but Ive soon grown used to being able to quickly get needed work done and it soon proved me wrong. This machine is a good looking piece of technology. Paramount Performance. Proud to have it out and about anywhere.

Very versatile and powerful computer. Can do multiple things at once. Even though the M2’s-5’s are more powerful, this M1 doesn’t ship a beat.

Great Laptop, I use it for working remotely and has enough power for most applications. I can’t comment on video editing as I don’t do that type of work. Long battery life, good portable size, easy to fit in any luggage or bag when traveling.

Perfect for college students! So portable and the perfect size to carry in your backpack or even a tote. Love it!

M1 chip with long lasting battery makes this a no brainer. If you can get it on sale it's an even better deal. I wouldn't consider myself a power user but this does everything I need it to. Highly recommend if you're looking for a fantastic laptop experience.

So happy you purchased this item I had a really all apple ibook and is fast software light exactly what I needed for my paperwork easy to use as usual Mac is Mac recommended

he MacBook Air M1 is a remarkable laptop that exceeds expectations. It’s a testament to Apple’s innovation and commitment to user experience, making it a top choice for anyone in the market for a new laptop. Coming from a windows laptop with 512 this works remarkably fast with using the same programs. However, if you want to use 2 external monitors you will need to get a display port. Love that I am now able to seamlessly move from my iphone to that macbook air.

This is the best tech purchase I’ve made in some time. It’s lightning quick and the battery life is amazing. You will not be disappointed
