    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.

    This is basically everything one would expect from a MacBook Air. Exceptional build, gorgeous screen, and excellent battery life. I suppose it's all of the usual improvements, except the M1 chip makes this perform as well, if not better than the i7 of the last generation - without a fan and better battery life.

    This laptop is just what I needed. I love Apple products and my MacBook is perfect for me. I purchased Microsoft 365 as well and have all I need to write my book and attend online classes. It’s lost the right size and it’s not heavy.

    The ultimate laptop in every way!! I’m sure most already know this but it looks and feels great. It feels like an incredibly well built machine and of course that’s because it is!! Lightweight, powerful, great looking and extremely functional. I can’t rave enough about my MacBook Air!!

    Big fan (no pun intended...because there is no fan..get it??) of this laptop. Fast, great battery, good keyboard, good display, powerful. Was looking at the pro but kept the air because I do not make videos and edit pictures a lot. More than enough horsepower for general population. Grab it on sale when you can!

    The processor is great, M1 beats expectations. Battery life is amazing, I charge my laptop fully twice in a week while I use my laptop everyday for few hours. I play Civilization VI on the laptop and it's fast. From the looks perspective it's still the same as the 2020 models. Overall very satisfied with my Macbook Air.

    I am an Apple fan so the MacBook Air is perfect for me. It is light and moves fast. The display is crisp and clear. I do a lot of word processing, writing, and spreadsheets, which makes it perfect for me. I haven’t tried my design applications yet but I am sure they will work well.

    I’m a grad student who needs a reliable, fast, and easy to use laptop that’s also light weight to fit into my backpack with my textbooks. I’ve always had Mac’s, but this is my favorite so far! I like the upgraded charging port. The older versions are magnetic which would fall out super easy. This one actually PLUGS in and is sturdy! The Touch ID is also a life saver to log in quickly to all my student accounts and the laptop itself. I knew it was worth the money, and I’m obsessed. Also- the speakers get really loud which is nice when watching movies or videos.

    Well established to be a great laptop. We agree. Still zippy and very light and easy to use. Bezel is still a little big but no big deal. I knew what we were getting into.

    This is replacing a previous Macbook Air which tells you I like this model. The touch pad is a little hard to work with compared to my previous 2 Airs. Otherwise, it is all I expected and love. Light, quick, fast on internet, even on a slower connection. So far so good!

    Incredible speed & battery life, average keyboard

    This thing is incredibly fast. Like so fast that I can no longer tolerate the speed of my 27" i5 iMac fast. The battery lasts an obscene amount of time. Let's put it in Pretty Woman terms: Mr. Hollister "Just how obscene are we talking about here? Profane or really offensive?" Edward "Really offensive." I charge it every few days. It's ridiculous. HOWEVER, I'm going to take issue with the folks who say that the Magic Keyboard is the same keyboard Apple used before the abysmal Butterfly Keyboard was introduced. It's not. The key travel is half what it used to be. Is it phenomenally better than the Butterfly Keyboard? Absolutely, but so is my $100 Chromebook's keyboard. Is it the best in class keyboard it used to be? No. There are better keyboards out there and I challenge Apple to innovate again. Best keyboard I've used of late is the Google PixelBook's hush keyboard. There's some innovation. I can type on that thing with my wife lying beside me in bed and she never hears it. That's the keyboard that I expect Apple to make.

    I absolutely love my MacBook.it does everything I need it too. The sleek design is a big point with me being I didn’t want or need anything bulky or heavy. I love how long the battery life lasts as well too!

    Unbelievable Value

    I’ve been a MacBook User since 2011 and this is far and away and the best MacBook value available especially at the $750 sale price. Yes this is the 2020 Air but the M1 chip is pretty darn remarkable in regards to performance. Battery life is incredible and the 13.3 inch footprint is perfect for the portability. I use a usb-c dock to connect an external monitor when I want to edit photos/video/GarageBand etc and works like a charm. M1 chip only allows for 1 external monitor so dual monitor users beware. Also MacBooks are not the ideal for gaming so if that’s your focus, look at windows laptop. But with those caveats aside, there is no better value your money can buy currently on the market.

    My wife's HP laptop of several years had literally started falling apart, parts of the display were coming out of it, so had to make a quick laptop buy for a quality machine and got this. She loves it, great battery life, no fans, so no noise and very responsive.
