Customer Ratings & Reviews

The M1 chip still holds up for almost all my college tasks. It's been a month since I owned it and I've had no problems with this product. The packaging was top-notch and BestBuy delivered it within a day of purchase. Go get it if you're looking for a back-to-school laptop that is value for money!

The screen on this laptop is gorgeous, the Touch ID is quick and a wonderful addition to a personal computer, the keyboard is best in class (so much better than those butterfly keyboards of old), and all of this in a thin, light machine. I love the portability of this computer, as it will be a main computer and a travel companion. Anything that needs pulled up feels as if it is waiting on demand - everything just snaps up and loads so quickly. The only complaint I have with the MacBook Air is its battery capacity. I will not deduct a star for the battery capacity because it will pretty much make it through an eight hour work day of productivity tasks including surfing the web, streaming and air playing video, and typing documents. After the eight hours have passed, the computer is on fumes and needs charged. This does meet my needs, though my three year old MacBook Pro did do better on lasting my daily needs. I am always near a charging outlet and charger, so this isn’t a huge deal, but I worry about battery degradation. This computer is such a powerhouse in such a small package and at a relatively affordable price considering what you get and after paying the Apple premium. It makes light work of all the tasks I throw at it. I definitely recommend this comptuer.

Upgrading from a 2013 MacBook air, this new model does everything I need it to do (I use it for work every day running multiple Adobe Suite programs). I don't usually do very high level processing tasks, but I've hardly had to wait for any of the tasks that used to hold up my workflow. Simple, fast, light, and impressive battery life.

The Apple MacBook Air is an exceptional laptop with a sleek design, powerful performance, and impressive battery life. It's perfect for those who value portability and a seamless Apple ecosystem. Highly recommended! Great service too!!

I am a data science researcher and I was worried about Unified Memory (RAM) size and the compatibility of my current programs. After using this laptop as my only laptop for over a month, there is nothing to be worried about! I use Matlab, Python, Terminal, specific packages made for Intel, Cellprofiler, Adobe, Office 365, Zoom, Chrome, and more! Everything runs great!!! No hiccups no compatibility issues.. Nothing. Unified Memory (RAM) is never a problem. Having all office apps open, illustrator and acrobat, safari, 5 desktops minimum, spotify, and other apps I use occasionally, it runs SMOOTH! I regularly hit 6.6GBs of 8GB use. I notice there is use of the swap memory more often, but the engineers at Apple, latest SSD controllers, and the latest SSD storage is able to handle this and even longterm. Battery life is amazing! No issues. Runs smooth and fast. Buy the baseline Macbook Air do not buy the pro or the 16GB Unified Memory.

Absolutely love it. Easy to set up and use. Love that it is fast, responsive and extremely reliable. Also, perfectly light and thin, so it is very easy to carr around the university. Can’t wait to continue to learn and use other features.

I wish I would have gone to Mac years ago! After a few years my old laptops would get bogged down with the antivirus software...painfully slow in starting up...we've all been there! Not anymore. Apple has its own security features...bye bye Norton. Lightning fast, small and compact, perfect for at home or travel. This would be ideal for traveling students as well, super light.

I upgraded from a 2012 Mac laptop, and let me tell you. This laptop is a game changer, it’s not slow, battery life is great! Addition this powerful machine is so light, so no worries about snap, crackle and pop on the back, leave that problem to the cereal.

I have an M1 MacMini and bought this M1 MacBook Air to use on the road/traveling. The Air is slim and has the same snappy performance as the Mini. Both are great. With no fan and a solid-state drive, it's ideal as a traveling computer. I highly recommend it. Also, the lower price of the Air and its similar performance made it simple for me to buy it rather than the MacBook Pro.

Best computer ever. Keeps like new. Runs nice, gast, easy to use. Perfect size

Works perfectly; exactly what I needed! Size is exactly what I need. Easy to set up and operation exceeds my expectations.

I couldn't have wanted more! This product is perfect! I love the thin lightweight classic design. It has great battery life, and is very quick. Although the camera is not that great, I hardly use it for that anyways. Overall great purchase no complains here.

The price was very reasonable. The size and weight of the MacBook is great. It is light to carry around in the case. The MacBook is very easy to use. I don’t know why I waited so long to get one.

I'm partial to Apple products so I might be biased... but I love this laptop. It's so fast, light, compact, and easy to carry in my oversized purse for my online schooling. I'm comfortable with Apples OS so for me it's easy to use especially if you've been using Apple products. Great screen/display. It is small so I do find a little difficult to type long papers because my hands cramp but it's a great laptop.

It's apple! Enough is said with just the brand. It runs smooth and fast and my kids have zero complaint when using it at school. Light weight and easy yo clean!!! Battery life is amazing!

Works great very light and durable great keybaord easy to use

If ur going to be spending money on a laptop might as well treat yourself with something good! This laptop works super fast and I never have any issues with MacBooks! Super sleek design and super lightweight! I promise you won’t regret this purchase!

Very pleased with this first generation Apple silicon Mac. Its performance compared to its price point will blow you away. Battery life is exceptional. Overall a great laptop for anyone who is not doing professional work that requires a lot of performance. But you can definitely do some good photoshop, video, or sound production on this machine. If you are doing it professionally I would recommend the M1 Pro 14.

I recently purchased a MacBook Air from Best Buy, and I must say that I am extremely satisfied with my purchase. This sleek and lightweight laptop has exceeded my expectations in every way.First and foremost, the performance of the MacBook Air is outstanding. It is equipped with a powerful processor that ensures smooth and fast operation, allowing me to handle multiple tasks simultaneously without any lag. Whether I'm browsing the web, editing documents, or working on graphics-intensive projects, the MacBook Air handles everything effortlessly. The battery life on this device is remarkable. I can work on my MacBook Air for hours on end without worrying about running out of power. It's incredibly convenient, especially when I'm on the go or working in places without easy access to charging outlets. The efficiency of the battery management system is truly impressive.

This laptop is pretty cool. there's a noticeable difference in the speed between my Samsung Chromebook with an i3 intel core vs this M1 chip. The retina display is vivid and reallyyyyy good quality. The Samsung has a specific screen for security reasons, so that when you tilt your screen backwards, people on either side of you can't see your screen. This laptop's (not Chromebook) multitasking is superb. able to handle many** different functions AT ONCE, which is important for me since I'm constantly switching through tabs and tasks. The connectivity(to a server), response to tap/click-time, display, SPEAKERS(amazing, for some reason Samsung thought it was smart to put speakers on the bottom part of the laptop) !! The only thing I wish I could change is the size of the laptop. It's really small compared to my other laptop, which was about 16 inches. it had more than enough space for my wrists to rest while I types. The force click touchpad is outdated apple :p sensory click is the new in. If this MacBook had a Touch Bar I'd be even more in love with it. I'm happy I got this, the backlit keyboard is helpful at night when you don't want to turn the lights on. overall extremely satisfied. Only thing that sucks is almost every app costs money, unlike the iPhone. Cool learning tools made specifically for Mac . :) the slate style is nice and minimalistic, sleek, business-like. It's cool that it's really light. so tiny you could lose it :p
