Beautiful color and impeccable screen. it was a great price and it was worth every single penny. I love it and would recommend.

Very thin computer but very efficient especially for school and college very helpful. Would recommend to almost everyone helps make your life more organized. :)

The chip on this laptop uses so little power but yet plows through all tasks you throw at it and lasts forever on a single charge. Just don't open too many applications that you choke on the swap memory

Apple computer runs well and is not difficult to use or figure out with the applications. Very simple and easy to search if you have to look for something. Lightweight, easy to carry around

It was a very incredible Mac, I loved so much, I stop using this because it got stolen, super fast even after 3 years using it, more faster than the windows devices of my friends, great sound, great display and great size, you can take it everywhere easily.

Got this to replace my wife's aging 2016 12" MacBook and we're both impressed when comparing it to her old laptop and my 2019 MacBook Air. It's fast, runs cool, and no fan noise. It's almost always plugged in so can't speak to the battery life at this time. The new Mac OS 11 Big Sur is quite different but in a good way.

All of my electronic devices are made by Apple so when it came time to update my old MacBook Pro I ultimately decided to stay with Apple. I did spend a few months looking at Windows machines, both gaming laptops and high-end laptops with the best Intel chip, good screen graphics, and so on. I did a reality check on myself and assessed what I actually do on my laptop. I use it for regular stuff like web surfing, social sites, emails, messaging, and writing. I ultimately chose the MacBook Air for its solid build, the great M1 chip, and excellent screen graphics. the super great feeling keyboard, and SSD. For my needs, it fits the bill nicely and I know it will be running 5 or 6 years from now. I have noticed that I am not getting the battery life this laptop is touted for. I get about six to seven hours on a charge. It's not a problem for me since I'm around an electrical outlet most of the time.

I love this MacBook Air, very light, battery life is outstanding. Video editing can be done on a MacBook Air. Apple really made a great MacBook. Priced very good especially on sale.

Great laptop at a great price. I needed it for school and it works great and is so lightweight I can bring it anywhere. The service in store was great also!

Purchased this MacBook for my daughter for school. She loves it! Has all the software needed for what she needs for school. Very fast and battery life is also a huge bonus!

former windows/chromebook user. this is my first macbook ever. best buy was running sale, and i took advanatage of this and picked this model up. screen is beautiful, keyboard is very responsive, and i like how all my text messages/emails sync across this, my iphone and my ipad. battery life is excellent, compared to my old windows laptop. the build quality is excellent, and the laptop feels solid and designed to last. i mainly use it for web browsing, email, online surfing and ocasionally games like the sims. I like the screen mirroring feature, to mirror my laptop to my tv through my roku stick. many windows based apps are supported (google chrome etc). it does, however take some getting used to, as things are open/closed and done a little differently than windows or chrome based devices. however, after a few weeks i was able to get the hang of it pretty well. if your still unsure, there are many online guides and books that cover the os. once you master your way around it won't feel as overwhelming. i have had this laptop since january (6 months) and i hope to get many years out of it. thanks best buy!

Got this for my daughter for a early birthday present for college. She absolutely loves uses it for school and home assignments for both college and her senior year of highschool

After years of using Windows based laptops, I finally decided to change. The most important reason is that I’m a musician and almost all of the software I use for mixing is Mac based. This was a no-brainer for me. As others have said in reviews, I’m also tired of buying sub par PC based laptops that don’t last. I finally decided to step up and spend some money and I’m glad I did. This laptop blows Windows based pc’s away. The M1 chip makes this laptop the fastest computer I’ve ever owned. No more waiting for the the operating system to go through 5 minutes of starting until you’re able to actually use it. This MacBook starts right up in a matter of seconds and is ready to use. Super fast! I also have an iphone 13 Pro, an IPad Air and an Apple Watch. I love the way they all work in harmony. Hopefully I’ll never have to touch a Windows based machine again. Buy it, you won’t regret it.

this Mac book i bought it for my husband’s birthday gift he is using it from 2 years still i love to review this item because he loved it and using all the time

Everything was great quality! The laptop itself is great and I believe it fares well against even newer counterparts. It's light, feels comfortable to use, and is very worth the price. If you're looking for a laptop that will provide you all the same features as "newer" models, this is the answer.

Bought this as a bday present for my wife. Has performed exceptionally in speed, accessibility, and mainly ease of use. We expect this product to last a long time. Overall solid purchase.

Getting the cheapest model was not a bad idea: it still has plenty of storage space and speed to do many standard tasks. The size is great and the screen is beautiful. I wish that the bezels and webcam were improved, but those are minor issues.

Bought this for my niece and she is headed off to college. While a generation older as this is the M1 this MacBook should not be overlooked, especially if you're finding it on sale. More than enough for her needs and at a price that doesn't break the bank!

Happy with the purchase and especially the trade in policy of best buy is far better than Apple store. This laptop is faster and lighter than the previous one. You need to purchase a separate jack for connecting your phone if you prefer cable your phone charger wont work with this one.

Really enjoy this laptop. It’s lighter than I imagined and the sped on it is great. The size is just adequate enough for carrying around as well. I use for my school work and it’s very reliable.
