    The best MacBook yet

    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.

    Got this for my teen daughter after her last Macbook Air died. She uses it for hours every day for lots of academic/school stuff and loves it. She says it is fast, dependable and easy to use. The lack of touch screen seems archaic to me so it would never be a match for me but she is very happy with this laptop.

    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.

    M1 Chip

    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.

    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.
