Customer Ratings & Reviews

The best MacBook yet. The M1 Air is amazing. We opted for the base model and it's been a welcome replacement for our 2013 13" Air. Incredibly fast, great screen and lightweight. 8GB RAM seems to be plenty so far. The M1 and Big Sur seem to manage SoC RAM much differently than we are accustomed to. I recommend this to anyone on the fence about upgrading.

As someone who has been a primarily PC user for decades, taking the plunge on an Apple computer was initially a daunting task. And everyone has heard about the fact that Apple sells people on their name with "lesser" specs than what you can get from a PC of a similar price. What I've learned is that what you cannot account for until you see it in action is the way Apple is able to make those "lesser" specs work for them in a way that is so smooth and seamless. Eight gb of ram? Sure, but it's 8 gb optimized to work with anything and everything that Apple has available. I primarily use my laptop for music production. I would spend weekends trying to get my audio interfaces, midi instruments, and settings all playing nice with one another. This Mac? Plug it in and it just works. That alone is worth the new os learning curve (which isn't that painful and actually kind of fun). Bottom line: at $1,000 you can get a decent Windows based laptop that probably has better specs on paper. That's the way I used to do it. But in practice and in use? Nothing touches this as far as finish, build quality, intuitive use, and lack of peripheral and software headaches. Do yourself a favor and consider an Apple the next time you're looking to upgrade.

My MacBook Air has been one of the best purchases I have made this year so far. Everything loads much faster than my HP. I also love how light it is. This computer has definitely made work much more enjoyable.

MacBook Air 13.3 is exactly what I was looking for!! Perfect for working from home/school work. Very easily operated and reliable. I got mine in rose gold and it is so pretty! Would 100% recommend!

Absolutely love this purchase. No issues and runs logic like a champ. The M1 chip is no Joke!! The compact laptop really makes it easy to tote around and do things as a Real Estate agent. This M1 chip allows me to work with and create music all on the same computer.

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.

One of the best purchases that I've made thus far!

so far this hyas been a great computer for my Vet Tach student! I am so glad we had someone to talk to that took all the features we wanted into account. It is fast and sturdy yet thin and light enough to fit in a large purse. My daughter loves it!

Amazing laptop. Portable, fast, and incredible battery life.

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

Great laptop, new chip is a huge improvement. Long battery life.

I had to but a new MacBook for school and it has been so helpful. It's lightweight making it easy to carry around and has made working on assignments easy and efficient! Very pleased with my purchase!

I bought this for my granddaughter who is in her first year of middle school and she has all honors classes. Now with all classes being online this laptop has come in very handy helping her follow her classes and getting her homework done on time. She totally understands how to operate it and it does everything that she needs for her advanced classes.

We love Apple products. Purchased for my daughter who is a rising freshman in college. We used the Student Deals which made the price affordable and she received a free pair of 1st generation airpods with the purchase. She uses it for FaceTime more than anything. Battery life is pretty long and the gold color is beautiful.

I've been using my MacBook Air for the past few weeks and have enjoyed every aspect of the new machine. It powers up fast, process quickly, has a clear/crisp display. Very satisfied with this purchase.

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!

I have pushed this computer and its new Apple-made processor to its limits and found that those limits exceeded my expectations on nearly every level. I’ve also used it in the way a MacBook Air is really meant to be used: as an everyday computer for workaday tasks. When doing so, I clocked eight and sometimes 10 hours of continuous use on battery. Coming into this review, I had a catalog of potential pitfalls that Apple could have fallen into when switching from an Intel chip to its own processor. Chip transitions are devilishly hard and don’t usually go smoothly. This MacBook Air not only avoids almost all of those pitfalls, but it gleefully leaps over them.
