Customer Ratings & Reviews

The laptop is similar to the older model in look and feel but the M1 chip is very powerful. Performance has significantly improved allowing MBA to perform tasks at much faster rate and efficiently. The biggest advantage is that the battery lasts longer. For moderate usage of 3 hours a day the battery lasts almost a week. Overall worth the upgrade to M1 MBA.

Purchased as a gift for my teenage niece and she loves it as all teenage girls have been brainwashed too. That being said as a PC user I can see the draw. Excellent performance and battery life. If you can live with whatever operating system apple uses and are already sucked into their ecosystem I'm sure this will be a great laptop for you.

Love it! It's fast & easy. There are so many fabulous features!

After years of using a windows PC, I decided to go with a Mac. Best decision ever. I was tired of starting a PC, going to the kitchen, getting snacks and the PC still wasn't' done booting up. And the older a PC gets, the slower it gets. I had been keeping track of what was happening with Macs the last few years with the keyboard and new M1 chip. Looks like the issue with the keyboard and other complaints about previous models have been addressed. There is a slight learning curve coming from a PC. The Mac does the same things, its just getting used to the terminology. After about a week and using the Apple forums to ask questions, it was easy. Now its a matter of opening the computer and its ready to go. I do see I am going to have to buy a cable or two to hook it up to my monitor when I'm at home. I kept track of the prices after I bought this and Best Buy ran them on sale three weeks after I bought this. After a chat with a representative, the new sale price was matched. The one thing I always like about BB, easiest price matching out there. You just have to keep on top of the price for 30 days and if there is a sale price, they will match, no question Very happy with my decision to buy a Mac.

Simply awesome! The battery life is insane. The M1 chip is a monster with very fast operating speed. The graphics, screen and sound are a good touch as well with great quality. This is a quality item with great value.

Bought this as a student and it has been great. More than enough for casual web browsing, taking notes, google sheets, etc. Can handle gaming well aside from getting warm from long sessions. Handles AutoCad well. Would recommend especially on sale.

The battery life is insane. Just bananas, legitimately more than a full workday. Probably the best value for a computer I've ever had. I have a zillion tabs open and it doesn't slow down. I own a Macbook Pro from three or four years ago that is clunky, slow, and has a terrible keyboard with hideous battery life. This is just a different level of computer. A++.

Fast, light, long battery life, exactly what I hoped it would be

I bought 2018 Macbook Air but returned it because I was not happy with fan noise it was making plus it had problematic keyboard. For early 2020 they changed keyboard but fan noise and thermals were still problematic. I am happy to say that late 2020 Macbook Air with M1 met expections. Runs cool, no fan noise since there is no fan plus it punches above its class weight in perfomance.

Good battery life, but so coming from 16" mac , it gave me eyestrain which caused migraine. Screen is to small for long use. Only connects to 1 monitor! Battery life is exceptional.

Love my new MacBook Air in rose gold. I’ve never owned a MacBook and it is so easy to use and the battery life is incredible. I was even able to get Word. WORD!!! I haven’t had word on any of my devices since I graduated from college in 2013. Dang, it feels good to be able to type a letter not using my email as a spreadsheet. I love, love my new laptop.

My Son is very happy with his new laptop. It has all the right stuff on it and works perfect. He says the M1 chip is very impressive and will help him handle his work better. Has so many interesting new features. This one works pretty great and has INCREDIBLE colors! Thank you so much Best Buy.

Bought this MacBook for my daughter who was starting college. She loves it! Performs and works much nicer than the previous laptops we have owned (HP, Dell, Acer). It is small, lightweight and compact. Would recommend to anyone looking to buy a laptop. Perfect for the college student in your life or for your own personal computer.

The MacAir Laptop i just purchased was so great. It has all the features i need in a laptop for my business and personal interest. Specs are incredible, Fast and user friendly. Thanks to Best buy for helping me acquire this unit.

This laptop replaced a MacBook Pro with battery, keyboard and overheating issues. I love this MacBook Air - lightweight but solid, great keyboard, great battery (holds a charge for a few days), and no overheating! No fan running! Perfect.

Laptop has been amazing, it works great and runs multiple applications without issue

Excellent product! No problems for the two years I've had it!

I work with my computer everyday! This one works perfectly, and in two years I haven’t had any trouble. Also, its design makes it easy to transport everytime I travel!

Love this MacBook. It is easy to use, has a battery that lasts a long time, and is very slim and easy to transport. We liked it so much that we have actually purchased two of them in the last month or so, one for my husband and one for my son.

I purchased the Apple Macbook Pro as a new work computer and I couldn't be more pleased. The new Macbook is super fast and gets the job done! Great value for the price. The battery life lasts several hours while in use.
