    I love this laptop. I have never owned a MacBook but I will never go back to PC. This MacBook is light and is fast. I think I have charged it twice since I bought it. The battery life is amazing.

    M1 Magic

    Apple has made something extremely special with this first generation of M1 chips. I don't think we'll see the true potential of what their "M" series chips can accomplish, until we've had a few additional iterations. Regardless, what they've done to this point is straight magical. The Macbook air is a powerhouse of laptop computing. I threw everything at the machine I could think of and it never broke a sweat. Try doing half of what is capable here on a similarly spec Windows machine and watch as it crawls along hoping to stay alive. Battery life is stellar and I get tired of using the computer before it ever reaches the need to be charged. At the end of the day, if you've been on the fence about picking one of these up, just go for it.

    This MacBook is excellent. It’s the right size and fast enough to meet all my business and personal needs. It’s also looks stylish enough to say it should cost more.

    Great product. The peace of mind you get from not needing anti-virus is totally worth it alone. But I'll never get used to the interface. Switched from Windows and unless you are tech-savvy I wouldn't dare. Trying to find your disk partitions is like trying to do a David Blaine magic trick. Some things make no sense to me but having said that it boots clean every time and the battery life is great. It doesn't have a CPU fan so you won't have to worry about the whizzing sounds constantly while you are trying to meditate. Actually, I've been meditating more often since I made the switch. Again if you aren't technical don't you dare switch from Windows. This interface will make you insane.

    This is the perfect laptop for school and small business needs. It is very fast and the battery life is amazing. And if you’re one for not liking the fan noise, well this is perfect because it does not have a fan.

    The M1 Macbook Air is quite the workhorse, in a very compact, light package. The M1 chip is a huge leap over intel chips. The computer is fast, and cool, does not heat up under intense workloads

    I was holding out in hopes of a refreshed 13 inch MacBook Pro without the TouchBar, but then this went on sale for $800 so I figured why not? Definitely worth the price. I mainly use it for web browsing, email, listening to music, messaging and FaceTime calls, and playing games like The Sims 4, and for a laptop with no fan, it runs pretty smoothly. TouchID is also a game changer. I don’t need to many ports on my computer, so I can’t really comment there. If I needed to connect it to my TV or something, I would probably just use AirPlay. Overall, it’s very powerful for a fan-less laptop and the battery life is stellar. I recharge it every 3 to four days.

    This MacBook Air is a replacement to my 2015 MacBook Air that decided to die without warning. This $750 laptop is an AWESOME value as U can’t even get a serious smartphone for that price. It has the M1 chip that smokes the Intel processor in my previous MB Air. I did my research on apple.com and the Apple Store, but purchased at Best Buy as their price couldn’t be beat. Bought online and picked in store for a total of 12 minutes with travel time included!

    Perfect for an average user wanting to stay in the Apple ecosystem. It is thin, light, beautiful, and a powerhouse. If you have average to slightly above-average needs for a laptop, this is the one to get.

    On first sight the product is incomparable. Sleek design, perfect finishes. I thought that being an Air would wheigh less. The screen lid is super smooth, can be opened single handed. But doesn’t open on its own thanks to magnets. Software wise is a beast. It just that the M1 chip is so new that a lot of old Apps are not running properly. Hardware wise I found that overall is a great performer without any caveat (except for opening large Excel spreadsheets, then it has to convert them). I think 256Gb is a little too low on space. Even though I have an army in of external drives. Everyday apps take too much space and cm easily fill your drive within a month or two.

    Oh, I was so happy with this purchase! I was in on a day when it was on sale. I do already own a macbook but according to Apple it is obsolete hence I have had it for 10 years. Wasn't buying this computer as a replacement because my original laptop works great. Got it because of the changing technology. Some of the things I work on will not open with my old computer. Its small but that is okay, and it is a nice color.
