Customer Ratings & Reviews

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!

Absolutely an amazing product! I would recommend it a 100%. I just love how fast it is and how sleek it looks. I’ve always been a Microsoft gal but I’ve learn how to use MS office on my Mac and I though admit the navigation keys are a little different than Microsoft, but once you understand it, it’s a piece of cake and I now wonder why I have not switched until now.

When it came time to replace my old laptop, I decided to finally go for a MacBook Air. I truly love this thing - lightweight, very fast, and stays cool even though it's fan-less. I use this mostly for writing, listening to music, and browsing, although I've had great luck playing some games on it as well (though I haven't tried anything too intense).

It's light, beautiful, and the battery is incredible! Got this new laptop for grad school and I am super please with my choice thus far. If there was any complaint, it would be some finickiness with hooking up an external monitor. My guess would be things would be playing nicer if I got an Apple USB C adapter. Alas ... still love this laptop!

A little difficult to set up, but after the initial set up is complete. its a very cool and easy to use laptop. Our kids got one each and they are very happy with them. They use the laptop for school and for personal use. endless software titles available. Very fast and powerful with a beautiful display. overall a great price and very satisfied.

Probably my best purchase yet. Sleek, fast and everything I need all in one. I normally run Microsoft but am very pleased at how my Mac work. Still learning the whole set up but I like it.

Great laptop!. Great Battery life, very Light, beautiful screen, keyboard is good. I got this at a great price and I can see why soooo many people love this laptop. I was looking for a high end table but this Laptop is so light and feels more familiar for me to work with.

The M1 MacBook Air is by far the best laptop I’ve ever owned. The display is sharp, the keyboard is a pleasure to type on, opening apps and browsing the web is fast, and has the longest battery life I’ve ever experienced on any MacBook, or Apple product for that matter. Was able to get this specific model as an open-box purchase and couldn’t be happier with my decision!

Best purchase I ever made! I was in between a MacBook and iMac but I’m very glad I went with a MacBook because I can connect it to a monitor and run a desktop! The MacBook is so light weigh and super quick!

Great MacBook Air, all of it works up to expectation, this ended up becoming my main laptop for work so next time I’m going to get more storage just in case

We purchased this for our daughter who will be going to college in September. She is very excited about the laptop and it works wonderfully. The light up keyboard, battery life, weight, and overall appearance is wonderful. With the sale that Best Buy had you can’t go wrong with the price and I definitely suggest buying the AppleCare as an insurance policy.

This base-model MacBook Air is really a great machine. I am not an Apple person, and the last Apple device I have owned was a 2009 Ipod Shuffle. I've been using Windows for the better part of the last 30 years and this is my first Mac OS computer, but getting used to the OS differences thus far hasn't been that big of a deal. For general tasks, my Air seems as fast and sometimes faster than my heavy Windows gaming laptop with an54 watt 8-core Ryzen 4800H chip and it runs Chrome better than my Chromebook (m3 Pixelbook Go that I will now give to my mother). I really like the aspect ratio of the display and the trackpad is the best that I've used. I prefer the keyboard on my work Lenovo X1 carbon and I think I even prefer the Pixelbook Go's keyboard to the Air's, or at least I still type faster on those machines, but the AIr's is still very good. I do occasionally miss having a touch screen - generally for scrolling webpages, using calculator apps - but no big deal. More ports, or at least having one on each side, would be nice but hasn't proven terribly limiting in my use-case. Battery life is phenomenal. No regrets here and very glad Apple is shaking things up with the new silicon.

I've owned this M1 powered 13" MacBook Air (MBA) for just over a month, and love it! I bought the base model with the 8 core CPU, 7 core GPU, 8GB of RAM and 256GB SSD. The battery life is amazing! It's not my main computer, so I only use 1-2 hours a day, but I can usually get through a week before charging. The keyboard is nice to type on, the new magic keyboard has slightly more travel than the butterfly keyboard on my wife's 2017 15" MacBook Pro (MBP). To continue the comparison to our MBP, I've noticed that this new MBA is quicker to boot, resume from sleep and open apps quicker than our MBP. I prefer having the function keys (vs. Apple's touch bar on the MBP's) and the trackpad on the MBA is excellent, everything I've grown to love about Apple's trackpads - great size and helpful gestures. Apple nailed the transition from Intel chips to their own M1 chips based on ARM architecture. In my use I haven't experienced a want or need for an Intel processor in this MBA. I have recommended to friends and family.

Even though the M2 is out, this thing is still a rocket. It runs programs well, heck I even play some games with it, and it still doesn’t throttle. Well worth the purchase. Battery life is amazing, I barely have to charge this.

This was a gift for my grandson. He so far has been very happy with it. He plans on making music on it. So far so good.He found it easy to set up and get working right away. The battery lasts for several hours. He likes how he can sync with his iPhone. The display is bright and the colors are true. He's on happy camper.

Such a masterpiece. It is pretty, light, efficient, and good price.

Our daughter uses the Apple for graduate studies. She has worked on Apples for several years and finds them fool proof. Great speed, long life on the battery and the TotalTech is a great addition. Her only issue is that it didn't arrive in the selected color.

Really fast, efficient and extremely small and light

I previously had the 2011 MacBook Air and this is definitely a big upgrade! The screen is so much bigger and yet the device itself isn’t too much bigger than the original one I had! The Space Gray color is so beautiful and blends really nicely with the new and improved screen! A great upgrade if you have an older version!

Operates fast and quick. Sleek and lightweight. Great battery life
