Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've been a windows and microsoft user for many years almost decades now.I needed something that had a great price, light, and had performance for all things internet and SaaS related products. Honestly, for $900 being one of the cheapest laptops on the market it excels at getting your typical job done from browsing the internet, playing movies, doing word docs, spreadsheets, and anything else related. I really recommend this over a $3k surface book 3 or 4 right now.

Excellent laptop. Lightweight and fast. Easy to navigate with great feature. Sleek look and easy to travel and stow.

Love it, light weight easy to use and fast, gorgeous screen. I do not even have to plug it in every day, so easy to take with me anywhere.

PRO: First, the keyboard is fast. At first I did not believe this "butterfly" keyboard would make any difference, but I immediately fell in love with this touch once I start typing. Second, the speed is good. I found not glitch running any program. Also, the computer is not heated up like my previous MacBook Air (2015). Third, the Retina display is good. I love it. My eyes feel good at this. CON: I would hope Apple make at least one USB port at the right hand side. It is inconvenient that I always have to connect the power to the left hand side.

Perfect for my needs. Lightweight and easy to use. I replaced a 2006 MacBook, so this it's nice to have a battery that works again! Got a great price on sale! I mostly use it for email, Facebook and editing files. It's nice to be able to have a lot of tabs open and not have it crash. For my needs, it's perfect!

The keyboard on my Macbook Pro Mid-2012 was dying (even after replacing it several years ago) so I treated myself to this new M1. The 256gb of storage wasn't an issue as I store everything except applications on external drives, but I was on the fence about having only 8gb of RAM but so far it's handled everything smoothly. I thought about paying extra and getting the 16gb/512 from the Apple Store but the base model went on sale and I used the money I saved to buy a USB-C hub and more external storage. I just hope it lasts me as long as my old laptop.

Liked: - Long battery life (one charge WILL last all day, i.e. 16 hours. Personally tested true) - Speed (the new M1 processor really is fast) - Quiet (no fan but the laptop still does not get hot) - Light and portable - High resolution & bright display Disliked: - As with other MacBooks, the keyboard is mediocre especially compared to laptops like Lenovo Thinkpad - Incompatible applications (With the M1 processor still being new, you might experience existing programs frequently crash. For example, Chrome keeps crashing) But I would guess there will be a fix soon

The laptop was released late 2020 and 3 years later this is till the best laptop money can buy for 750$. Highly performant and power efficient . I design CPUs and can say that this M1 was one of the best in class mobile CPUs we have seen in past 10 years. M2 M3 are all iterations. I did notice that M2 Macbook air did trend for 899$ during thanksgiving and would be a better choice if you use your laptop a lot , but if your major activities are browsing and content consumption, email this one is for you. I think of this laptop lasting easily for 6 years if not more. If you are in college and want an affordable laptop you would not go wrong with this one but I would suggest you go with the M2 as it has a better design and front camera which can come handy with facetime calls and you would not feel that peers have a laptop that matches current design trend. So if you are in college and can spend that extra 150-200$ go for the m2. The 256GB of storage is fine for me , In this day and age storing photos in google photos. Overall a great laptop.

I’ve never been one to buy brand new products as in the latest generation so when I evaluated my options, the M1 MacBook Air was the greatest option on the market. The M1 chip handles everything I give to it with grace and speed. It has great portability and amazing battery life. Student discount comes in clutch and I’ve got my laptop for the next four years of my journey.

We went in knowing what we wanted as far as size and what I wanted the computer to do but had no idea on brands. Our sales guy was amazing and knowledgeable. He walked us through different brands, functions, pricing, and reliability. He did not just show us the most expensive laptop. After everything was said and done we bought the Apple MacBook Air. I have used it for College work, work, and personal things. This laptop is fast and can do just about anything! It is light weight and slender. Super happy with my purchase so far.

I have had this laptop for 2 years now and I can still say with total confidence that it's a good buy in 2023. This laptop will last the average person until 2030 if not longer. That's a ridiculous value for the total cost of ownership, so all that's left for you to decide is this: Is this laptop capable of doing everything you need it to do? Even though it's 2 years old and the lowest spec'd and cheapest laptop Apple currently sells, I think for 99% of people the answer is YES! The M1 chip is up to some crazy witchcraft. That's the only way to explain how the battery lasts so long, how the computer is so fast, and how portable it is. Don't worry about the 8GB memory, it's enough for almost everyone. Storage might be a different story. If you need more than 256GB, I highly recommend buying a portable SSD. It's way more cost effective than upgrading the internal storage. Compared to Windows laptops that cost the same, this computer is remarkably premium. The display is excellent, the keyboard and trackpad are some of the best in any laptop ever, and even the speakers are pretty good. The all aluminum construction is very durable and looks great. There are better laptops on the market but they all cost significantly more than this one. If you are not playing a lot of new video games and you don't need to use applications that only work on Windows, and you don't need a bigger screen (or a touchscreen), this is probably the right laptop for you.

Owning a Mac has always been my dream. I really love it. No complaints at all best in class performance and battery life. Yes there are some problems with m1 chip because it doesn't support everything. But may be by October everything gets normal and I believe in apple. This is very good for someone who is willing to buy a cheaper macbook. Air is not even inch less compared to pro considering performance and elegance. Overall it's a best buy for me.

This is my first Mac after being a Windows user for life! It’s been a pretty seamless transition after the initial shock passes. Everything is so easy and I love how the whole ecosystem ties into my iPhone and other Apple products. MacBook has a super high quality build, powerful, fast, lightweight, great battery life, and stylish. Scored an amazing deal thanks to Best Buy sale and student discount. I’m a happy shopper!

I love this laptop. It’s fast and small and my best computer ever

Love love love this computer! Have gone back and forth with the idea of switching to MAC, but given I have all other apple products I gave it a try. Great decision. Small, compact, and light weight so easy to carry around, and easy to navigate! Very happy

The Air has become a powerhouse in its own right, unlike the Air of previous generations. The entry level MacBook is a next level laptop compared to Windows or ChromeOS machines. Fanless and silent, it boasts the power and efficiency of M1 in a thin and light package. Battery life has been unreasonably good, and i haven’t even bothered to bring my charger with me anywhere. M1 has changed everything.

phenomenal little machine, bought it for my wife for work to replace her older version. Battery life is superb, overall the machine feels lighter and much, much faster. She is happy, she loves the color and in general we are happy with the purchase.

I feel like I got this 2020 Macbook Air at a super reasonable price. I weighed up my options between the M1 and M2 chip models, but didn’t feel like I needed to spend so much just to have the newer and latest model. While I’m sure the M2 models are great (and a step up), the reviews for the 2020 Macbook Air still really sell them as awesome laptops - so I decided to buy it and what a great discounted price Best Buy offers…it’s cheaper than getting it from the Apple Education store!

I love the color! It definitely does not weigh as much as my MacBook Pro and it is easy to use and easy to transfer my information from the Pro to the Air. Battery life is definitely better, but if you need to use your device often throughout the day, you should definitely carry your charger with you.

Performance and portability have exceeded expectations. I love the experience with how well it pairs with my iPhone and AirPods. The battery life is fantastic. Most days I can get a solid six hours of use from the battery without any issues.
