    Lighting fast. It streams video extremely well and very compact and lightweight. Could use a little larger ssd storage but with reliable cloud storage it will do what I need.

    MacBook Air M1

    My old model would always overheat and slow down even from normal browsing on the web! This MacBook is very impressive. It never heats up what so ever. It can even do hardcore gaming for a long time and it will never heat up. It is also blazing fast. Worth the upgrade if you have an intel macbook. The battery life is also amazing. It can last almost 3 days without charging it.

    Absolutely an amazing product! I would recommend it a 100%. I just love how fast it is and how sleek it looks. I’ve always been a Microsoft gal but I’ve learn how to use MS office on my Mac and I though admit the navigation keys are a little different than Microsoft, but once you understand it, it’s a piece of cake and I now wonder why I have not switched until now.

    Good battery life, but so coming from 16" mac , it gave me eyestrain which caused migraine. Screen is to small for long use. Only connects to 1 monitor! Battery life is exceptional.

    Great! Only downside is the fact that the default storage options are so limiting unless you utilize cloud storage systems. The battery life is great, but less than MacBook Pro, so you have to pick your battles. But for $750 with the student discount, the value is incredible!

    Best All-Around Laptop

    The M1 MacBook Air is by far the best laptop I’ve ever owned. The display is sharp, the keyboard is a pleasure to type on, opening apps and browsing the web is fast, and has the longest battery life I’ve ever experienced on any MacBook, or Apple product for that matter. Was able to get this specific model as an open-box purchase and couldn’t be happier with my decision!

    Incredible computer. Bought it the day the new MBPs were announced because I wanted to give it a try since I was coming from a 2012 MBP and just wow. I see why the M1 chips received such rave reviews. I returned this because I need more storage, but even before I knew I was getting a 1TB version, I thought I'd go back to my 2012 MBP, ha!

    When it came time to replace my old laptop, I decided to finally go for a MacBook Air. I truly love this thing - lightweight, very fast, and stays cool even though it's fan-less. I use this mostly for writing, listening to music, and browsing, although I've had great luck playing some games on it as well (though I haven't tried anything too intense).

    This laptop is amazing. This is my first time switching to Mac OS and I’m impressed. Mac OS could use some improvements that windows has had for years though. Also the performance on this laptop is amazing. You can actually game on this thing and get the same FPS as some “Gaming” laptops. The new M1 chip is amazing and the battery life is also amazing.

    My Son is very happy with his new laptop. It has all the right stuff on it and works perfect. He says the M1 chip is very impressive and will help him handle his work better. Has so many interesting new features. This one works pretty great and has INCREDIBLE colors! Thank you so much Best Buy.

    M1 - the dawn of a new era in PCs!

    I've owned this M1 powered 13" MacBook Air (MBA) for just over a month, and love it! I bought the base model with the 8 core CPU, 7 core GPU, 8GB of RAM and 256GB SSD. The battery life is amazing! It's not my main computer, so I only use 1-2 hours a day, but I can usually get through a week before charging. The keyboard is nice to type on, the new magic keyboard has slightly more travel than the butterfly keyboard on my wife's 2017 15" MacBook Pro (MBP). To continue the comparison to our MBP, I've noticed that this new MBA is quicker to boot, resume from sleep and open apps quicker than our MBP. I prefer having the function keys (vs. Apple's touch bar on the MBP's) and the trackpad on the MBA is excellent, everything I've grown to love about Apple's trackpads - great size and helpful gestures. Apple nailed the transition from Intel chips to their own M1 chips based on ARM architecture. In my use I haven't experienced a want or need for an Intel processor in this MBA. I have recommended to friends and family.

    It's light, beautiful, and the battery is incredible! Got this new laptop for grad school and I am super please with my choice thus far. If there was any complaint, it would be some finickiness with hooking up an external monitor. My guess would be things would be playing nicer if I got an Apple USB C adapter. Alas ... still love this laptop!
