    Perfect upgrade from Apple's Intel MacBook Air

    The new M1 is all about speed and efficiency. Everything is snappy in the new Big Sur MacOS and it really does feel like you're getting speed that we've been accustomed to on our everyday mobile devices. I think that my expectations were unreasonably high as YouTube reviewers were showing test running intensive applications for photo and video editing and made it seem like the Air could be a full on replacement for intel-based MacBook Pro's. While this is true in small limited tests, I found that in everyday use it could get sluggish here and there when running Adobe's graphic design programs like Adobe XD and Illustrator. This is where maybe the 16GB of RAM option would have been a better buy and make the Air and MacBook Pro comparable. So all in all, I think that if you're just looking for a reliable replacement for an everyday computer the Air is a great option and it blows away the intel-based versions. But as an workhorse laptop for heavy content creation, the 8GB RAM option won't cut it and you'll be kicking yourself for not getting the 16GBs or going up the the MacBook Pro.

    This is one heavy duty laptop. This was my first foray into the apple computers world and I have been blown away by the work this can put in with one charge. Several hours of work does not heat up the battery either. Strongly recommend anyone who wants to move from PC to Mac.

    This was a fantastic computer and I don’t have a single bad thing to say about it. I highly encourage everyone to get one. Don’t listen to all the nonsense on the internet. I can do everything anyone else can do. Plus Xbox cloud gaming works fantastic on Safari.

    I've had several laptops with windows, I've never used a Mac and the truth is that I've been super satisfied with the MacBook. Wow, I'm impressed. The truth is, I was very afraid of changing operating systems, but in my opinion, nothing to do with Windows and this MacBook M1 is more than enough. device for my daily tasks thank you very much apple..
