    When it came time to replace my old laptop, I decided to finally go for a MacBook Air. I truly love this thing - lightweight, very fast, and stays cool even though it's fan-less. I use this mostly for writing, listening to music, and browsing, although I've had great luck playing some games on it as well (though I haven't tried anything too intense).

    It's light, beautiful, and the battery is incredible! Got this new laptop for grad school and I am super please with my choice thus far. If there was any complaint, it would be some finickiness with hooking up an external monitor. My guess would be things would be playing nicer if I got an Apple USB C adapter. Alas ... still love this laptop!

    A little difficult to set up, but after the initial set up is complete. its a very cool and easy to use laptop. Our kids got one each and they are very happy with them. They use the laptop for school and for personal use. endless software titles available. Very fast and powerful with a beautiful display. overall a great price and very satisfied.

    This laptop is amazing. This is my first time switching to Mac OS and I’m impressed. Mac OS could use some improvements that windows has had for years though. Also the performance on this laptop is amazing. You can actually game on this thing and get the same FPS as some “Gaming” laptops. The new M1 chip is amazing and the battery life is also amazing.

    Best All-Around Laptop

    The M1 MacBook Air is by far the best laptop I’ve ever owned. The display is sharp, the keyboard is a pleasure to type on, opening apps and browsing the web is fast, and has the longest battery life I’ve ever experienced on any MacBook, or Apple product for that matter. Was able to get this specific model as an open-box purchase and couldn’t be happier with my decision!

    We purchased this for our daughter who will be going to college in September. She is very excited about the laptop and it works wonderfully. The light up keyboard, battery life, weight, and overall appearance is wonderful. With the sale that Best Buy had you can’t go wrong with the price and I definitely suggest buying the AppleCare as an insurance policy.

    M1 - the dawn of a new era in PCs!

    I've owned this M1 powered 13" MacBook Air (MBA) for just over a month, and love it! I bought the base model with the 8 core CPU, 7 core GPU, 8GB of RAM and 256GB SSD. The battery life is amazing! It's not my main computer, so I only use 1-2 hours a day, but I can usually get through a week before charging. The keyboard is nice to type on, the new magic keyboard has slightly more travel than the butterfly keyboard on my wife's 2017 15" MacBook Pro (MBP). To continue the comparison to our MBP, I've noticed that this new MBA is quicker to boot, resume from sleep and open apps quicker than our MBP. I prefer having the function keys (vs. Apple's touch bar on the MBP's) and the trackpad on the MBA is excellent, everything I've grown to love about Apple's trackpads - great size and helpful gestures. Apple nailed the transition from Intel chips to their own M1 chips based on ARM architecture. In my use I haven't experienced a want or need for an Intel processor in this MBA. I have recommended to friends and family.

    Probably my best purchase yet. Sleek, fast and everything I need all in one. I normally run Microsoft but am very pleased at how my Mac work. Still learning the whole set up but I like it.

    great alternative to windows or chromebook OS

    former windows/chromebook user. this is my first macbook ever. best buy was running sale, and i took advanatage of this and picked this model up. screen is beautiful, keyboard is very responsive, and i like how all my text messages/emails sync across this, my iphone and my ipad. battery life is excellent, compared to my old windows laptop. the build quality is excellent, and the laptop feels solid and designed to last. i mainly use it for web browsing, email, online surfing and ocasionally games like the sims. I like the screen mirroring feature, to mirror my laptop to my tv through my roku stick. many windows based apps are supported (google chrome etc). it does, however take some getting used to, as things are open/closed and done a little differently than windows or chrome based devices. however, after a few weeks i was able to get the hang of it pretty well. if your still unsure, there are many online guides and books that cover the os. once you master your way around it won't feel as overwhelming. i have had this laptop since january (6 months) and i hope to get many years out of it. thanks best buy!

    Even though the M2 is out, this thing is still a rocket. It runs programs well, heck I even play some games with it, and it still doesn’t throttle. Well worth the purchase. Battery life is amazing, I barely have to charge this.
