Customer Ratings & Reviews

Light and portable. Good battery life and speed. Would recommend.

Got the 8GB / 256GB SSD and I am extremely satisfied with my purchase! The laptop is incredibly fast and responsive, and the battery life is amazing. I can easily go a full day without needing to charge it. The laptop is also very lightweight and easy to carry around. The screen is very clear and the colors are vibrant. I love the touch ID feature, which makes logging in super easy.

[Employee of bestbuy] Amazing and fast, lightweight. Does all the things I want it to do with ease

I love the battery life on this item and also how fast it is!!! Best investment I’ve ever made! Not to mention the sleek design and light weight I can take it anywhere!

It's sleek, fast and very attractive. It's a very powerful and easy to use laptop.

I've owned the newer M2 MacBook Air, and I prefer the older M1 for its form factor, as a portable laptop. It's still got plenty of power and battery life to be quite functional, but is the closest modern equivalent to a netbook (ultraportable, light, yet functional). The newer M2 *feels* more breakable and fragile, while the curved top and bottom of this design gives it a much more durable feel.

I was never a fan on McBooks. But my daughter convinced me to go for MacBook this time to replace my 6 year old Windows laptop. I must say this is best decision I have taken. The setup was a simple and easy. The computer is quiet and speed is amazing. The laptop is good enough to support cpu intensive data science work. The battery life is outstanding and easy last for 12 hours. I highly recommend this laptop

I’ve had this laptop for almost 2 years now and it is absolutely amazing. My favorite investment. It’s very reliable, charges fast and stays charged for days and as a college student that is a very important factor for me. Storage wise, it’s standard amount is plenty. For my field of study I do a lot of writing, so I have a lot of files and still have plenty space left. It’s very fast, doesn’t run hot after hours of use and super lightweight.

Nice and light weight Macbook Air. Its faster with M1 chip and 8 gigs. Display and battery life is awesome as always from apple.

First time MacOS user, have always been in the Windows world, so still learning. But MacOS is very similar to iOS on the iPhone and iPad, so learning curve is not that bad. If I were getting a Windows laptop, 8GB memory would not be enough. But the M1 chip is more efficient with memory, and based on all the Youtube reviews I've seen, is perfectly fine for most users. Great price/performance on this model (8GB ram /256 GB SSD), compared to the Intel-based Apple laptops.

Great computer! Love the quality, display, and just everything about it. The size is just perfect for me and I LOVE the color! Great buy overall. 10/10 would recommend!

This laptop came highly recommended by friends and family. I waited to order it until a very good sale price was offered. Best Buy's ordering process was easy, and delivery went smoothly. My new MacBook Air is every bit as good as I hoped it would be: fast, efficient, fairly easy to operate, attractive, and even though compact, has a good-size screen.

This is my first MacBook and i am loving it! It is for personal use and school and there have been no issues. It’s fast and the battery life is amazing, great speakers and looks sleek.

Very much happy with how QUICK and POWERFUL the new M1 Chip is! I've owned MBP's in the past and was heavily debating on paying more for one over this and boy am I glad I saved a few chickens and got this bad boy/girl. The other day I ran Spotify, Lightroom, Photoshop, Chrome and Quicktime with GarageBand running in the back ground. Not only did the fans NOT turn on but this MBA DID NOT LAG! No death wheels, no freezing or slow responses. Really happy with this purchase and what Apple has delivered. I did buy an external HD w/ 1TB to give myself MORE storage at a fraction of Apples cost.

I love this MacBook, it's been one of the best purchases Ive made. The battery lasts a very long time, and it has so much storage. I have been using this Mac for quite a while, and it has never given me problems with storage. It's the PERFECT size that fits anywhere, and is perfect for lying in bed, office, or class. It is very useful, I very much recommend it. Aka writing this in the mac lol

This upgrade works perfectly for my needs. The MacBook Air is fast, quiet, light and pretty cool to look at. For the price and the quality it can't be beat.

This a really good laptop for school work and it handles adobe programs really good and it’s fast and battery lasts a long time

I have to say—this is an amazing laptop! The design is beautiful, slim, and flush. I came from buying a 2016 MacBook Pro, and this is way better. The M1 Chip is ultra-fast compared to my old Intel processor, and the new processor works really well with apple’s OS. I love the fan less design with no noise, and power is never an issue with its long-lasting battery. Half a charge lasts me all day. The only thing I think is weird about the entire laptop is that it’s an “air” model, and yet, it weighs a lot for its visual size… Must be the quality speaking.

Very long battery life ! This laptop is so cute and is very portable! I would recommend getting a case and screen protector so it doesn’t get scratched!

Super long battery life. M1 processor is very fast. Quiet (no fan) Light and portable and great high resolution bright display. Highly recommend.
