Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a great no nonsense laptop. Great battery life, excellent performance, great speakers, decent keyboard and OS. Unless you have a specific need that you know is not supported on apple silicon, go for it, best bang for buck machine

Outstanding! Easy to use, easy to transport and pull out whenever I need, and love the size! This has been a great purchase for me!!

This MacBook runs smooth, holds a charge for a long time, never has any performance issues and handles multiple tasks being done at once easily. Great choice for a student or someone who needs an ultra portable laptop they can rely on.

I love my new MacBook Air. I had previously owned a MacBook Pro that was 12 years olds. The new computer is so much faster & lighter. It's really a great laptop!

I have always wanted an apple laptop. This is lightweight and portable. It took a bit to get adjusted to the setup as I have previously had other brand laptops. However, I am still learning and it is working for me. It is also fast for what I need it for.

fast, light, perfect computer. does what i need and doesn't weigh a thousand pounds

This MacBook is great! I replaced this one for my 11 year old MacBook, it's speedy, with great battery life.

Love my Mac!!! I used to be a PC girl but never again. It has worked perfectly since I bought it and believe it will still last a long time. Turns on almost immediately and holds a very long charge.

Reviews regarding performance and battery life are mostly correct, though it's highly dependent on what you're running. Definitely capable of lasting all day (8 to 10 hours) while having dropbox, terminal, a web server, a text editor and chrome with 20+ tabs. I can get it to slow down every now and then if I have video running, an external monitor, compilation along with the above, etc. all going, but slowdowns are fairly infrequent. 8GB version seems ok, but I end up with 5 to 6GB of swap with the workload described above.

My daughter loves her MacBook, she uses for school. It’s easy to navigate it has a long battery life. It super fast and the graphics are amazing.

Everything one may need in a day to day, goes with me everywhere laptop. Initially has one of the best battery lives I've ever seen, I can go 2-3 days and still have some to spare.

This laptop is my first apple computer after years of swearing by PCs. I am very pleased with the quality and ease of use of the mac. I was looking for something to use for school that will boot up quickly every time, be snappy flipping through different tabs, and have an easy-to-use UI. This laptop fits the bill perfectly. The computer is very snappy and is able to do everything I need to do with ease. I am even able to do some light-moderate gaming which was unexpected but am very pleased with. The laptop runs Civilization VI with ease. The keyboard is fantastic, and the screen is very sharp. Overall I am very happy with my purchase and will be content with staying with apple for my laptops.

This MacBook is fast , elegant, and it does what it’s supposed to do without heating up. Proud dad here as my daughter just got accepted into Santa Clara university this MacBook will serve her well for the next few years. So glad I was able to get this for her.

Works well for Zoom meetings and Microsoft office, with added bonus of HBO apps and sidecar iPad integration. Overall, a great value compared to the latest M1 MacBook Pro, not lacking the speed without annoying Touch Bar or fan noise.

Very worth it. Its very light, handy and everything works as expectex. Great for students and the same time for any working people.

Great price, great computer. So easy to buy on line and pickup. Definitely recommend Best Buy and online purchase and pickup at store purchase.

Great product. Light weight, great battery life, easy for everyday use.

This is my first time ever purchasing a laptop from Apple (I'm a Windows or Linux user usually). I must say that I am impressed! The fast responsiveness of the laptop when opening an application makes so much of a difference. For reference, I purchased the base model Macbook Air, and it does serve all of my purposes as a student and content creator (you will probably need some sort of extra storage if you plan on doing any sort of content creation). As for battery life, if you have many, many applications open (let's say a virtual machine, watching YouTube, and something else), the battery life will drain. If you are just studying, opening Netflix, and doing something else less heavy, your battery will definitely last all day. Less intensive apps = more battery life. This is still a powerful machine but stay realistic.

This laptop has such long battery life. It's very fast with good picture quality. 1st Apple computer so I don't have much frame of reference but it feels like a good buy! I highly recommend for anyone looking for high speed, long battery, and responsive laptop.

I have had this for a month now and I absolutely love it works amazing for school and work I use it every day battery life last for almost 2 days
