Customer Ratings & Reviews

Nice size. Excellent for small tasks and most day-to-day uses. Looks good, works well, light weight... Little slow on the more demanding things. But overall very pleased with what it can do at the pricepoint. Lot's of positive value with Apple quality and features. Highly recommend for entry level users that enjoy Apple products.

Good deal and the macbook is a great product. Bought it for apple development and love the lightweight Air. M1 chip is great for my needs. Battery life is outstanding -- the best ive ever had from any electronic device. Apple cant be beat in this regard!

I love it battery life really good fast and clear the size excellent

This thing is quite amazing. I have been an Apple guy since the early 2000s and haven't been this excited about an Apple product since the iPhone came out. This is a joy to use. I have a 16in Intel MacBook Pro for work and the M1 MacBook Air is so much better in every way. The speed, battery life and how it wakes up immediately from sleep are amazing. I have an iPad Pro and don't use it as much now. The only bummer is the one external monitor limitation but otherwise this is the perfect laptop.

Never had a macbook before this but it seems solid. The display quality and battery life are both way better than I expected. The chipset is pretty beefy for such a "budget" macbook and I definitely could use it for more than just web-browsing and the occasional document writing, and its pretty user friendly (yes even if you've never used a mac before)

I’ve used a MacBook Pro for work for years, but this is my first Apple laptop for home use. I waited for the release with the M1 chip, and have not been disappointed one bit! I use it for normal everyday use...Office products, internet, video streaming...but also occasionally will do some photo or video editing. This new MacBook Air handles everything with no problems whatsoever. It is crisp, fast, responsive, and handles everything easily. No fan — no problem. This machine never gets warm. Retina display looks great, the magic keyboard is indeed magical...I actually hate typing on my 2017 Pro for work after using my new Air. Is it perfect? No. The webcam is still not great (although fine for what we use it for), and only 2 ports is not near enough. If you’re doing heavy duty video encoding you might consider the Pro, but the Air is more than powerful enough for general everyday use and more. We have iPhones, iPads, Apple TV, so this obviously integrates smoothly into the Apple ecosystem. Using Airdrop to share files or images throughout our home makes me wonder why I didn’t make this change sooner. My local Best Buy was out of the color I wanted, but ordering online was a breeze and it was delivered to my door the next day. I was in the market for a new laptop for about a year, and I’ll tell you this was worth the wait. Couldn’t be happier!

I use this computer daily for work and personal things. I've had no issues! I always thought buying a MacBook would be a waste of time and money; however, I was proven wrong. The battery life is great, display is great, it runs fast, everything about it is great. I definitely recommend buying new.

Perfect for my needs. Lightweight and easy to use. I replaced a 2006 MacBook, so this it's nice to have a battery that works again! Got a great price on sale! I mostly use it for email, Facebook and editing files. It's nice to be able to have a lot of tabs open and not have it crash. For my needs, it's perfect!

The Air has become a powerhouse in its own right, unlike the Air of previous generations. The entry level MacBook is a next level laptop compared to Windows or ChromeOS machines. Fanless and silent, it boasts the power and efficiency of M1 in a thin and light package. Battery life has been unreasonably good, and i haven’t even bothered to bring my charger with me anywhere. M1 has changed everything.

This thing rocks! Best laptop I've ever owned without a doubt. Size and weight are perfect, screen gets bright enough, speakers are good, trackpad is awesome, keys feel nice, and the battery literally lasted me a whole week of average use. I haven't done any intense tasks on it yet (photo editing, video editing, music production) since I have a PC for that but as far as the everyday email, web browsing, video streaming, video calls, etc go, this is an unbelievable computer *especially* for the price.

Very sleek design and useful for my college classes. I bought it in 2023 and it’s still good and running great even with all my class work

Great buy, as always. It’s light and powerful. Great battery life.

I bought a Dell G7 from Best Buy a Little over a year earlier, it was supposed to be a high-end gaming laptop. I don’t really use it for games but more for video editing or audio editing as well as day-to-day tasks. This puny MacBook air blew it away in every aspect. Cool to the touch silent and faster. And the battery life on the G7 was a joke. I went days between charging the air. Screen is bigger on the G7 but other than that, the M1 makes me wonder…. What the heck is in store for the future? Wow

Light, fast and very capable. I have not ever had a Mac laptop before but I am very happy with the performance of the new M1.

I needed a new laptop after my 8 year old MacBook Pro. I decided on a MacBook Air. I had the Geek Squad put my old stuff onto the new one. I love my laptop! It is light and fast and has a good sound. The pictures are bright and clear. I chose the gold colored one which almost looks bronze. Very pretty. And, it was on sale.

I decided to go budget and went with a basic Macbook Air. To my shock it is an extremely powerful but light & pleasant device. I use a $2K Macbook Pro for work and this thing rivals the speed but is smaller and quieter. I build my own PC's and I am not a huge Apple fan because of the 'Apple Tax' increase in price but this thing is a fantastic performer for a budget price. The M1 chip is fantastic.

Love it!! Beautiful design, super fast, and everything I need in a laptop!

Apart from being incredibly slim and beautiful, this laptop is also incredibly lightweight, specially compared to the dinosaur I just came from being the MacBook Pro from like 2010. I got the basic seeing as I didn't need to do anything crazy on it, and it over performs on anything I've needed so far. Battery life is incredible as well when not plugged in, and charges other devices quickly. Totally recommend

This little guy... Wow.. Battery life is out-of-this world. Great screen, better keyboard than a couple of generations ago. Stupid fast. Don't let the 8GB of ram scare you. The M1 processor uses ram differently than the older Core processors. A lot of your main-stream software is already at least compatible with the M1, with more and more being optimized all the time! Everything I use day-to-day is already optimized and WOW the performance from this entry-level LAPTOP kills my old desktop!!

Perfect for med students. The device is light and easily portable with a long battery life - I am able to go through a whole day of lectures from 8am to 8pm without recharging the device. Has a good amount of storage - the speed and functionality of the device are not compromised by the large use of storage that I can tell so far. I find that 8GB of RAM is sufficient enough for med school especially if you save everything to the cloud/office365/Google Drive. The only downside is unable to have different lock screen wallpaper from desktop wallpaper.
