    Much much better than the last model. Battery sure last and like everyone YouTube saying it’s fast with the updates apps. There is some issues with connection but the latest update fix some. More updates is coming. This model I actually can edit videos in 4K fast. And in 1080p much faster. I’m happy with this base model. As for older apps. They do work and seem to run faster which is funny but I’m impress. The iPhone and iPad apps sure does work with small hiccups but again it actually runs faster also. Not all iPad and iPhone apps will run until the developers allow it too. Still waiting for Arlo and some to be allowed. But as of now. I’m happy with the purchase.

    I have to say that the MacBook Air has exceeded my expectations so far. I never liked laptops, I always prefered a desktop a thousand times but for school and other ends a laptop was needed. It was time to upgrade my laptop since I was going back to school for in-person classes and I needed a laptop since the one I had was acting up after 6 years of service. I decided to give this non-Windows computer a shot and have not regret that decision. What I love the most about this computer is the battery life and the trackpad, the display is good too. I will say that if you own an iPhone you will love this computer.

    First Apple laptop I bought. I am very impressed by what it can do and have so much learn. My previous laptop is Windows, but after using this MacBook Air I will never return to Windows again. It's so much easier to use and work. I can't believe I didn't give Apple laptops a try earlier. I use it for personal, work, etc. Also, I saved $200 on this laptop so how could I pass up on it? The only thing I have noticed thus far is the battery life is not as great as I expected. The same goes for my iPhone. It's not a deal breaker for me, but I guess its something Apple should take a close look at. Higher battery life.

    First, Bestbuy packaged and shipped the macbook very well (it was an open box). It had some dirty spots that cleaned up easily. Overall looked in excellent condition and warranty was nearly a year out that I confirmed with Apple was accurate. The air is an excellent Apple 'starter' notebook and it is silent (no fan) so feels like an ipad in that sense. Takes some time for those who arent familiar with mac os (it was for a family member) and I do wish apple would automatically offer them some basic practice or training for those migrating from windows to mac. i know it isnt very hard but for some it may be (from the missing page up, down, to screenshots, to how the file folder structure is different, the installation methodology). Still I personally think its a very good product. If there is one thing, and we all have heard this before, could we not have at least one USB A and HDMI/DP connection? Pain to lug around USB C dongles for everything. Oh well its the Apple price I guess, they know better.

    So far this thing is great. It'd dead silent, doesn't get hot, and is super quick. Granted, so far I've mostly used it for 'normal tasks' like web browsing, watching movies, etc. 4K 60fps video looks great! No noticeable drops, etc. I also love how this recovers from sleep IMMEDIATELY, no delay or hesitation. I've not done any video editing on it yet, so the jury is still out if the 8GB of ram will be a limitation. I've also ready that some of these are having screen-cracking issues, but I've seen no trace of that an am hoping that this is from a recent enough batch that Apple fixed any related problems.

    I love my macbook air. I previously had a macbook pro which is heavier and more expensive and I really don't see the benefits of a macbook pro compared to air. The air has everything I need, is cheaper, and it got me through 3 years of graduate school for exams, notes, powerpoints, etc.

    Love my MacBook Air! Much lighter weight then my 16in MacBook Pro which makes it easier to use for basic things like surfing the internet, video calls, and writing and typing up documents. Love the Airplay and being able to Screen Mirror content on my laptop onto my Fire TV! MacBook Air is a great laptop! Highly recommend!

    The Apple MacBook Air is the best laptop I've owned. The Apple M1 chip is fast and allows the laptop to run with no fan, no noise plus the retina display has improved my efficiency in getting work accomplished. The laptop battery life greatly exceeds my MacBook Pro, sometimes exceeding 10 hours per day as mentioned in the specs. I also enjoy the Touch id to get me up and running quickly.
