    I purchased this and it makes everything so much easier. Streaming, work, and more. I am genuinely looking forward to it more and more from here on out for college or business, etc. It makes life so simple and it works/runs so smoothly. It is a larger laptop however its so compact and light. I would recommend this to anybody. It is so worth it.

    I was reluctant to drop from my 16" MacBook Pro to a MacBook Air, but this is one of the best purchases I have made. It's as efficient as my older MacBook Pro and more portable. The size is perfect. It is fast and allows me to do photo and graphic editing with ease. I have yet to find something I'm not able to do with ease and efficiency.

    MacBook Saved My Life

    I got this MacBook Air M1 because my old laptop sounded like a lawnmower trying to take flight. This one? Silent. Smooth. Suspiciously competent. I’m starting to think it’s judging me for how slow I work. Performance: This thing is FAST. Like, opens apps so quickly I barely finish clicking. I swear the M1 chip has psychic abilities. Me: thinks about opening Chrome MacBook: “Already did it. You’re welcome.” Design: It’s Space Gray, which basically means it’s the laptop equivalent of wearing a leather jacket—cool, mysterious, and definitely too good for me. Also, it’s so thin I’m afraid a strong breeze might knock it into another dimension. Battery Life: The battery lasts longer than the enthusiasm I had for my New Year’s resolutions. I charged it once, went to work, ran errands, watched Netflix, and it still sat there like, “Is that all you’ve got?”

    The laptop is very good: it has a sleek design, fast performance and an exceptional battery life. The keyboard and touchpad are comfortable and responsive. It's definitely a great choice for work.

    The m1 chip is awesome. I am using all of my apps and they work as expected. I can hold the laptop on my lap without feeling like I have an electric blanket set to hi on my lap. I have run allot of tabs in safari and Edge without any issues or performance degradation. I would highly recommend this laptop. Can’t beat the price or get better performance

    All my past laptops have been Windows based. Took a while to figure out the MacOS system. Purchased because I bought a GoPro and there is more editing software that is Apple based. This laptop is fast, light, and runs quite. So far it does the job of editing my GoPro video. I just wish the screen was 4K.

    I love it and use it heavily. It works great with my other Apple devices although Messages and Safari bookmarks sometimes need finessing to update. And you must be very precise when tapping the touchpad. Otherwise, it's an outstanding product. Fast, has plenty of storage space, and backs up pretty quickly.

    I’ve been using the MacBook Air, and it’s been a fantastic experience overall. What I love most is its lightweight design, which makes it incredibly easy to carry around for classes and study sessions. The battery life is exceptional, lasting through most of my day without recharging, which is a huge plus for someone constantly on the go.

    The first one I got the screen messed up after 1 week, Best Buy exchanged it with no problems. The second one has worked great so far. It’s really fast, it’s light, it was on sale, so it was a really great value. Long battery life, it’s on all day, I do not have to worry about plugging it in during my work day at all.

    Battery Life on this tiny computer is amazing!

    What can I say about the new M1 Macbook Air that everyone hasn't already mention? It is such a huge upgrade to the previous generation in terms of battery life and performance. I can go 12-14 hours of use on a single charge at medium brightness. This is unheard of just a year ago, but I am loving the new cpu architecture. Sorry Intel/AMD you will need to address the power consumption of your chips to compete with Apple. My programs and apps fly with this new computer. For the value you pay it is totally worth it. The only cons I have is the limited ports. 2 TB4 ports and headphone jack will not cut it Apple. We need a standard SD card slot and HDMI port to really make this better than it is.

    Was happy to be able to snag this M1 model MacBook Air for the academic year with the students discount. It’s as lightweight as I need it to be and MUCH MORE efficient than my 2015 MacBook in terms of battery and processing speed. Definitely the upgrade I needed without having to compromise cost for a Pro model.

    I’ve wasted time & money on countless other brand name computers. Not anymore. Apple is the only one for me. Some of my favorite features are the M1 chip, the lightweight sturdy design & the smaller size. I love the “wake up “ screen when you open the laptop. So many features, so little time … but I am so very happy to have a Mac. ;)

    M1 Air and Pro

    Got this base model M1 Air for my wife. I bought the M1 Pro with 16 GB of memory for myself. I absolutely love my machine and does my wife for hers. I am much more demanding on mine vs. hers yet I can't really tell the difference in performance. I have a fan in mine, while she does not. Have had mine for several weeks now and can't remember ever hearing the fan turn on. Mine can get just a tad warm on my lap while editing photos with multiple apps, but never uncomfortable. My wife has never complained about heat with hers. Neither machine has had problems running apps and they are both very fast. In short, the M1 Air is an awesome machine.
