MacBook Air never fails but the new M1 chip is unreal. No heat. Can't hear a fan (if there is one). Blazing fast.

It's basically the same as my older MacBook Air with some pros and cons. The Pros: The touch pad unlock, the speed, the ease of transferring everything from my older MacBook and the headphone jack. The Cons: The cursor moves, but will not click, so you have to do a hard restart. I believe I found a way to correct this as well as a few other annoying things that were easily fixed in preferences. Also, the ever changing charging cord. NOTE: My old MacBook Air was dropped from the sofa to the floor hundreds of times (honestly) without ever having an issue. I once dropped it out of my hands onto a wet asphalt driveway, and never had any issues. Luckily, it landed it's fatal blow just before Thanksgiving, and I got a great deal on new MacBook on Cyber Monday. I think the issue with my older one was simply the battery, but it was time for new one, anyway. I highly recommend it.

I'm thoroughly impressed. Its lightweight, gold design makes it not only easy to carry around but also quite stylish. The M1 chip's performance is a standout; whether I'm browsing, streaming, or working on documents, everything is incredibly smooth and quick

If it was full price for a 2020 model, with 8gb of ram, and a 256 SSD, this laptop wouldn't have been in consideration in my search. Best Buy had a great deal on it a month ago. I am already in the "Apple Eco-System" so toggling things between my iPad, phone, and MacBook is seamless and fast, just convenience. The 8gb of ram sounds like a joke in 2023 but if you're just doing some basic tasks, ie; a few safari tabs, notes open, test taking, etc, its not going to slow down, its enough since the OS is great at being efficient with that kind of stuff. The soldered on SSD was also concerning but again if you're not a power user downloading a lot of large files I'm sure it'll last a long time. The battery life is great, I have no issue getting a few days out of it. Build quality is also the greatest I have felt personally and while the keyboard is different that anything I've used in the past (mechanical, brown switches) after a month of use I started to like it a lot. Some other small things I've noticed, its VERY thin, not too heavy in a backpack, speakers are loud and sound great, the screen gets fairly bright and is nice to look at, trackpad hasn't been an issue when using different gestures, touch ID hasnt failed me yet, webcam quality and mic are average. If you can get a deal on it and if you're a casual user like myself, I would recommend it all day. I'm in flight school just using it for basic tasks and it does everything that I need it too very well. The only gripe I've had is the 2 USB-C ports, I guess its something you sacrifice with the form factor. Personally I would've given up a few millimeters of its profile and thinness to get some more ports and ease of use. Keep in mind one is used for charging so you only have 1 open port if that time comes.

I have been using Apple computers for some time. After my MacBook Pro from 2013 finally got painfully slow, I decided to upgrade. I never fully used the capabilities of the Pro and saved some money with the Air. This thing is wicked fast, looks beautiful and just works. Batter is amazing.

The Apple MacBook M1 is a game-changer. With its impressive M1 chip, it delivers exceptional performance and efficiency. The battery life is outstanding, and the display is vibrant. The sleek design, improved keyboard, and macOS Big Sur make it a top choice for productivity and creative tasks.

Coming from the Windows world, the transition has been pretty straight forward. This lightweight is a heavyweight in my opinion. No fans to deal with, a fast processor, the flexibility to be a mobile user or connect your favorite monitor and instant desktop. Suiting me fine for general web browsing, YouTube, Apple TV+, streaming services, It does it all with ease. Plus the benefit of connected to all of my Apple devices. Win-Win.

The M1 MacBook Air excels in performance and battery life. Its 8GB RAM smoothly handles multitasking, and it performs well under heavy workload. With its sleek Space Gray design and vibrant display, it's a solid choice for both professionals and casual users.

Great laptop. Fast and easy to use. Battery life is enough for me to do what i need to do during the day.

I have been a Pc user / Gamer for a long time and still own a nice Ryzen 7 3700x with a 5700xt system, I have owned apple laptops and desktops before but was never really impressed. So after the M1 was released I decided to try it again to see what all the talk was about and WOW it blew away many other systems I own and really held its own. No it was not faster than my gaming system but it did play games quite well and smooth for many games. It was able to perform in browsing, video editing, and Light to mid Gaming very well and from what I can tell will only get better as more companies provide support for arm. The really amazing part about this in my tests is it ran amazingly fast and did so with such a low power cpu and it was quiet I installed parallels and ran the arm version of windows and was able to play games like world of warships, sim city 4 and a few others with no issues. In the arm list of games that run on mac directly I ran a few games from Steam and world of warcraft all ran ok with no issues. Will all games work prob not, but it can game.

Laptop has combined speed and power for academic and personal activities. Browsing the internet, reviewing and creating documents, printing material with ease has helped our children tackle recent forms and activities. Much better than the old Intel-based PC laptop. Get this one while on sale.

Works very fast and its a sleek thin design. It has everything a college kid or average computer user would need. Beautiful on screen display. This macbook is the newest one out but i just heard apple announce a new macbook to release later this year. Its supposed to have many more color options and a new M1 chip thats faster and mor efficient. So if you can wait 4-5 months you can get the newest macbook air

The MacBook Air is a perfect light computing device. The battery lasts for days, the CPU never gets hot, there's no fan so it is silent, the display is one of the best you can buy, the keyboard is one of the best laptop keyboards, and the performance is amazing. A note about performance. I have a couple computers: the entry level MacBook Air -- 8 GB of RAM and the 256 GB SSD and a desktop with a Ryzen 5900X and 64 GB of RAM with a 1 TB NVMe drive with a 2000 MB/s write speed. That is not as fast as the SSD in the MacBook Air but it's not slow. For 3D printing, I use PrusaSlicer. On the Mac, a relatively simple but large model took 2.3 seconds to slice. On my Ryzen 5900X, it took 3.1 seconds. That's not a huge difference but the Ryzen processor costs nearly as much as I paid for the MacBook Air. I only got the MacBook Air to use for mostly light tasks but the fact that it performs well above its entry-level class is a huge bonus. This entry level computer can, in many tasks, keep up and even surpass high-end processors. Now, there are many things I can do faster with the Ryzen 9 (e.g., something that can make use of all 24 threads) but with this an entry-level laptop, Apple hit a home run. I'm never going back to Windows-based laptops.

This Macbook Air is excellent! It's super fast, has plenty of storage, and I love the space grey color. It also has a great battery life, and it is much more affordable than other Apple laptops. Overall, I think it's the perfect computer for a college student.

This has been an amazing computer! The memory and speed are everything I needed to start my business! I bought one for my son to send off to college with as well. He loves his. We had the use the Apple Care once to fix his screen. Great buy! Now I have to buy another because my care was broken into and it was stolen.

I bought this computer and love it! It’s fast, looks great, and has a long battery life. It handles everything I throw at it without any problems. Highly recommend it!

I purchased the MacBook Air 13.3" with the Apple M1 chip on December 30, 2022, marking my first switch from a long-time Windows user. For my graduate studies, it has proven to be an excellent choice. The 8GB of memory and 256GB SSD manage R, Python, and terminal tasks with ease. The performance is smooth, and the battery life is impressive, making it ideal for extended study sessions. The Space Gray design is stylish, though the storage might be a bit tight for large datasets. Overall, it’s been a reliable and impressive laptop for my academic work.

It is lightweight but durable. Sleek and fast. Great value and price. Haven’t had to use any attachments yet.

I had a 2017 macbook air which got damaged due to water, it would work but only if the charger was connected, when apple released this new macbook air with m1 chip, I bought it, this is probably the best laptop I ever had, faster then earlier macbook and windows laptops, can open multiple sessions without this ever slowing down, battery life is excellent, I get minimum two days out of it, I am very happy with the purchase

I have used this computer for several years and it is perfect for daily use. It is user friendly and such a perfect size. I would definitely purchase it again in a heartbeat.
