Customer Ratings & Reviews

Not very bad in general. The built is good. Battery is what M1 claims. It lasts very long time. The Macbook Air has a premium touch. I like the hardware a lot. Offering very good daily driver machine: light weight, high performance, long lasting battery and very nice looking. And that's it. The Operating System (iOS) is very bad... Honestly. I think for people who are using Apple from their day one, it is ok since they don't know what other OS providers can offer. I use Windows, Linux (Mint), ChromeOS and iOS for long enough... I honestly like the Linux Mint the most, next the Chrome OS, and Apple iOS is in the same position with Microsoft (win11). I may try to install Linux on my MacBook air. Maybe. Do I recommend? Maybe. Some people know only iOS. It integrates well with all Apple products. Which is very good.

I absolutely love this MacBook! One of my favorite things about it is the sleek and attractive design. It is slim, light, and easy to travel with which makes it perfect for work. I always carry it with me wherever I go. It is fast, reliable, and overall a wonderful laptop. The keyboard is also "soft" which makes typing that much easier of a task. I feel this is overall just a wonderful laptop.

I wanted to get into the full Apple ecosystem since I have an iPhone and an iPad so I decided to get a MacBook Air for school. I was able to get one at a good price, and the laptop itself was very light and worked really fast. I was happy with how fast webpages load, and how snappy the MacBook was. I am normally a avid windows user, but this MacBook performs amazing for the test that I needed for my class. I would definitely recommend for someone who wants to get into the Apple ecosystem with all three devices as you can, AirDrop files, photos, and more between devices.

Great computer. Easy to carry, good battery life, and perfect for all the normal little things like email, Internet, Google Docs. Durable and reliable. And the newer chips are even faster than this M1!

Amazing laptop for my every day usage. It is light to carry, sleek to hold and lightning fast. It is even faster than my MacBook Pro Intel. The battery lasts days and I think this is a MacBook I'll keep for many many years to come.

We always have good experience buying a Best Buy. Bought this product for Black Friday, light, works great. Battery life appears to be very good. Very easy to search the web, as well as connect and adapt well to all of your Apple products.

Surprisingly great value, replaced my quad Corei5 MacBook Pro 16GB RAM I got new in March of 2020. Everything about this MacBook Air is better from performance to battery life. I bought it to see what the hype of M1 is and was shocked to see how compatible all the Intel software was. I had almost no issues, but even with an issue here and there, the performance and battery life made it a much better experience, not to mention zero fan and heat coming from it.

Terrific, fast, and well-priced for its computing power. Easy to set up and navigate. Great deal at Best Buy.

I generally have been using my Macbook Pro from 2018... my wife has hers from 2015. This is for the kids for school... more than what they need for sure! Fast, quiet, lightweight, and inexpensive. Highly recommend for anyone regardless what they are using it for!

I have a 2017 MacBook Air but bought this one as a 2nd computer dedicated to video editing and music recording (i do a lot of both). I was curious about the M1 chip and whether it was faster. I have been mostly happy with my purchase. The machine is sleek, smaller and lighter than my previous one, and the rose gold is a fun addition. I can tell the videos export considerably faster, and in general i don't think i've had a "candy wheel" spinning at any point so far, which has been the case with my other MacBook. I didn't give it 5 stars only because i've had some problems with imovie just suddenly not playing sound when i scrub (i need this for video edits) and it's been annoying as i've had to wait, or close and reopen imovie, or restart the computer. I did a software update and the problem seemed to be fixed, but then it started happening again.

Performance and Silence The highlight of this laptop is the Apple M1 chip. It handles everything I throw at it—from heavy multi-tasking and large spreadsheets for work, to light photo editing—without ever slowing down. Because of the chip’s efficiency, the laptop is completely fanless, meaning it runs in absolute silence, which is amazing for late-night work sessions or studying from home. Battery Life is Legendary The battery life is truly game-changing. It genuinely delivers up to 18 hours of battery life, allowing me to leave the charger at home for a full day of classes or work. This freedom from outlets is perhaps the biggest quality-of-life upgrade this MacBook offers. Design and Features The 13.3-inch display is crisp and bright, making movies and work documents look fantastic. The physical design is classic Apple: sleek, premium, and portable. Security is seamless and fast thanks to the integrated Touch ID, which makes logging in and authenticating purchases instant. While newer models feature the Liquid Retina display, the M1's display is still beautiful and perfectly suited for its size. Verdict If you are looking for the perfect blend of performance, portability, and value, the M1 MacBook Air is an unbeatable choice. It’s ideal for students, professionals, and anyone who needs a reliable, blazing-fast laptop that lasts all day. Highly recommended!

Great computer, very fast and reliable. It’s extremely compact and light so easy to carry to school, work, or during travel. No issues with the computer after a year of daily use. Would recommend.

Last year I bought an iPad Pro for photo editing with my mirrorless sony camera, but I found me wanting more in the operating system department as I also use it as a bed computer and have had a Macbook Pro 15 inch from 2015 that recently bit the dust so I was wanting to have the MacOS experience back. Recently I also bought a DJI Air 2S, and the iPad Pro was absolutely fine for the job, but I wanted faster. This thing absolutely does what I need it to do, and with no sweat or worry either! Not only that, battery life is incredible, I have a Alienware laptop with a 3070 in it and it only lasts maybe an hour off the plug doing basic tasks, while this can easily last me 14-15 hours on a single charge off the wall. This thing is also stupid fast, my gaming desktop with a i7 and 3090 will take longer to load up applications than this will. Obviously though, if you're looking for something to game with, this can't compete. It will outrank anything with integrated graphics however. This thing is incredible, and for 749 you really cant go wrong with it if you're in the market for a completely silent and fast laptop of this caliber. Only thing is storage size, 256gb nowadays is pretty paltry but I have a couple terabytes in external NVMEs that I can utilize if need be, and my other machines have tons of storage that I can transfer the files to, so my use case is fine with 256gb. You'll also be perfectly fine with 256gb if all you do is web browse/email/edit a few things here and there or have lots of disposable storage like I do

After half a decade, I finally bought a Macbook Laptop. I always looked at Apple products like fine art. Nice to look at but..... Believe all the positive reviews. If you are on the fence, just go into a store, and put your eyes, and hands on one. Then make your way over the the PC section. Do the same. You will understand pretty quickly the quality difference. Scared because you never used Mac OS before, dont be. You could teach your grandmother how to navigate this OS. It is very clean and, can be super new user friendly or, get as techy as you want with all the endless keyboard shortcuts, applications, and all the endless things this device would just blow right through. It is completely silent, and always cool to the touch, which makes it outstanding when actually using it on your lap. Crazy right? The battery life is outstanding and I have been averaging in between 15 - 17 hours off of a single charge. Screen On Time, not just idle. I wish I could tell you that also but, I use too often to let it sit for days. Also, there was nothing in my normal everyday use that even makes this device hiccup. It is unbelievably fast. I could go on and on. If you are looking at Windows laptops at the same price range, or even a bit higher, I would highly recommend you look at these also. Unless you are married to Windows, you are doing yourself a disservice by not checking these out.

This laptop is very user-friendly, convenient size, great image quality and works pretty fast. The only downside is memory capacity - if I have a few powerful apps working at the same time and have many tabs open in a browser, it starts lagging and not responding. After 14 days, I'm still not 100% sure how to turn it off and on, so I would say this feature is not intuitive. I love the special button for the autofill with a fingerprint feature. It makes signing in and paying very easy and convenient. Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase.

Much faster than I expected. Transferring files between external and internal drives is ridiculously fast. Smoothness of operation is startling. Operating system hasn't hiccupped yet. Screen is brightest yet, and clear, too. CON: having only 2 USB-C ports, both on the same side, is very limiting. BUT all the adaptors/dongles I've used thus far work perfectly without lag. And battery life is CRAZY!

So far is a great purchase. I heard great things about this M1. I've been using it for about two months and it fits my expectations. I use it foy my light work, I do a lot of teams and zoom meeting and the battery lasts a lot.

Apple really knocked the M1 Macbook Air out of the park. The sleek form factor makes it easy to carry around by hand or in a bag, battery life is outstanding and I love that the MBA doesn't have a built-in fan (no more annoying fan noise!). Performance is extraordinarily good, no complaints with anything I throw at it. I purchased an open box (satisfactory) Best Buy unit and it was in practically new condition.

I’m a Mac girl for life. I use them until I can’t anymore. I absolutely love this computer. It’s fast and beautiful. I use it only for school and for browsing and it hasn’t let me down. It’s the perfect size and weight too.

I've owned a MacBook Air M1 (Apple Silicon) for 3 weeks. Cooled without a fan, so no fan noise. 5 star appearance, performance, construction, software, comfort, and security features. It's speedy for my daily browsing, video, and remote work.
