    I recently got my hands on the MacBook Air 13 M1, and let me tell you, it's a total game-changer! The M1 chip is a beast – everything's crazy fast, from video editing to juggling a dozen apps at once. No fan noise, and it stays cool even when I'm pushing it hard. The Retina display is stunning, with vivid colors and True Tone making everything look gorgeous. Plus, it's so darn lightweight and slim that I carry it everywhere without even noticing. The battery life is no joke – all-day power for my non-stop hustle. The Magic Keyboard is comfy, and Touch ID adds a cool security touch. Seriously, if you want a laptop that's as powerful as it is portable, the MacBook Air 13 M1 is the real deal. Highly recommend!

    Grad Student Approved

    I just got this for Christmas. With having lots of papers and grading to do in my final semester of school, this laptop seemed like a really good fit. My dad has the 2015 version of this laptop and it is still running very well. So far, I am loving it. The computer runs pretty fast. I also enjoy having the Touch Bar option at the top of the computer. My main worry was that this computer was going to be heavy, but its pretty lightweight. I would recommend this computer to anyone who is in need of a good everyday computer.

    Typical Apple product. Well designed, fast and made to last. The Gen1 M1 chip is incredibly faster and more efficient than intel. The newer M1 chip is even better. The air is very light and portable. Very similar to the gen1 M1 MacBook Pro. If your only needing a computer for general office and or student application, this is a great machine.

    I am brand new to the Mac world...this little machine is just amazing! It is fast, responsive, easy to use, light to carry around. It seems so far to have a good battery life. I love the bluetooth connectivity, so I can connect to bluetooth mouse and my Bluetooth head phones and away I go. so glad I made the switch, don't see myself going back to PC world

    This thing is great. I'm a 3D model amateur who uses Blender. I also write a lot of code. To summarize, I am a power user. Blender works really really well. The only instance where I found this computer's limit was RAM-related tasks, such as fluid simulations, which I have never seen a laptop handle that. It did everything else with ease. Sure, rendering in cycles is slower than an RTX-powered PC, but it still does the job fine. (Note: I do not think it is a good idea to render on an M1 chip, as it is unknown at this time what putting it under 100% load for long periods of time. With that said, I'm gonna keep doing it.) Also, can we talk about battery life?! This thing lasts forever! I honestly charge it every couple of days if I'm just writing code! If I, a power user, can fully utilize this thing with my insane workflows then you can absolutely justify getting this. I'd like to point out the 2 flaws though: One external display without some crazy expensive accessories. 256GB Storage isn't ideal for me, but hey, I didn't want to shell out $250 to double that storage. I picked up a Samsung T5 SSD to cover that issue. If you need a new computer, this is the one. No question about it. I have recommended this computer to so many people since I bought it early this year.

    The MacBook Air 13.3" Laptop with the Apple M1 chip is truly exceptional. Its speed and efficiency are outstanding, and I've experienced no difficulties with it whatsoever. The crystal-clear display and intuitive features make it a joy to use. Moreover, the battery life is impressive, and the laptop remains cool even during extended use. App compatibility is flawless, and the FaceTime camera delivers excellent video quality. The MacBook Air's portability, silent operation, and seamless integration with the Apple ecosystem add further value. With top-notch build quality and advanced security features, this laptop has become an indispensable part of my daily life. I wholeheartedly recommend the MacBook Air with the M1 chip to anyone seeking a high-performing, reliable, and versatile laptop.

    I was transitioning to this machine from a 17" screen and I thought I was going to miss the bigger screen - I don't! this is so light and fast and COOL! the M2 chip is really cool and it doesn't overheat. I can put this in my handbag and carry it around. It's lighter than my kindle! Battery lasts for days, too.

    The best Mac for the everyday user on the go!

    Do you want the best Mac for use at home at the best price? Get a Mac mini M1 and round it out with your own peripherals. Need to do some casual browsing, games, emails and shopping? Get an iPad--literally any iPad. Even the entry-level one. Need the best of of both? Get this laptop. It has crazy-long battery life. Fantastic performance for all the basic-medium level tasks. All in a thin and light package on the go. Could you make do with an iPad Pro? Yeah, but it's nice to have the stability of the keyboard built-in with the heft of a metal chassis as opposed to a keyboard case and also MacOS for whatever program you need to use for productivity or work. With the M1 processor you get power and battery life in a nice balance so for the average user this is a great product if you NEED to be in the Apple ecosystem. Otherwise get a Chromebook or Windows laptop. With that said, MacBooks tend to last many years and hold their value well. I have spotted it on sale here at Best Buy as low as $750 but overthought it, missed out and then jumped on it at $799 a few months later. Safe to say it's been a great product for my stated use-case and if you can catch it on sale it's a Best Buy!

    I bought this Macbook to replace my laptop as it has been slowing down to its age. I wasn't expecting much for this purchase, but I was blown away at how fast it is. I know it's only a slight difference on how much time it saves, but it adds up. Not having to wait on processes or pages to catch up has been incredibly refreshing. I haven't had a chance to fully explore its features, but aside from its speed, the display is beautiful and its ability to adapt to harsh sunlight makes it the perfect choice to be my daily carry. Lastly, the battery life is amazing. I always carry a charger but this laptop lasts for days between charges despite its constant use. If you're looking for a solid laptop for work or school, I feel like this is the best choice for its price.

    I recently bought an Apple MacBook from Best Buy, and it's been fantastic. The design is sleek, and the Retina display is vibrant and sharp. The M1 chip ensures smooth performance, even with demanding tasks, and the battery life easily lasts all day. Best Buy provided excellent service. The staff were knowledgeable and helpful, making the purchase process quick and easy. Overall, I highly recommend both the MacBook and Best Buy!

    Purchased this MacBook Air for general use. Definitely lightweight. I love that it can connect to my IPad Pro and I can use it as a second screen. It has a backlit keyboard which is a nice feature. Setup is super easy if you already have an iCloud account plus you can use finger id to unlock. Definitely worth the price!

    I absolutely love my new MacBook Air. I have wanted a MacBook Air for years and finally decided to get one. I am a 50 something year old college student so with Covid forcing classes to be online I joined a Zoom study group and I was the oldest person in the study group ( the other 4 girls were age 18 to early 40’s) I was also the only one without a MacBook. I felt old and out of place with my 15 inch 2013 Hp lol!!! So about a week before the class ended I bought my MacBook Air with the M1 chip. I love her. She ( my MacBook Air lol) is sleek, fast and sassy . I will never go back to Window. I also own an iPhone, Apple Watch, IPad mini and a older version Apple TV and IPad yes as you can see I love Apple products. My kids ( who are now grown) and I also owned Apple IPods . My husband still use one of my iPods to workout with .I was kind of afraid to purchase A MacBook because I have always used a PC with windows operating systems and I was told that the MacBook works differently than Windows but I guess because all of my other products were Apple products it’s not hard at all to learn this system and I also use YouTube to help me. Did I mentioned that I love love my MacBook Air. I also got the student discount so I only paid $899 so with the $100 I saved I bought the Magic Mouse 2.

    I've been a Mac user for nearly 18 years now and I have to tell you of the many, many Mac's I've owned in that time this might be the most impressive. I have to admit I was incredibly skeptical when Apple announced they were replacing Intel with their own chips. I couldn't imagine why Apple would even think to do that even though Intel had really stalled in development and focus the past few years. With that said, the MacBook Air I purchased is the base model 8GB/256 SSD in Gold as a replacement for my 16" MacBook Pro. I wanted something smaller and from what I read the M1 chip was incredibly fast and efficient. Boy that wasn't a lie. I am amazed at how fast this computer is compared to even my last MBP. It opens applications before the blink of an eye and it never gets hot while doing it. The computer is lightweight, efficient, and never breaks a sweat. I'll enjoy this one.
