    Great laptop for every day use. Unless you are a power user, this laptop will do just fine as a daily driver, capable of doing light video and photo editing. The only con is the lack of ports but that can be fixed with a hub. The screen is beautiful, the keyboard feels great and the battery life is superb. Get this when it is on sale $799 (it is on sale quite often), it will be the best than any other laptop at that price range.

    First time am using MacBook and got very good deal (250 dollar discount). Initially thinking to buy high configuration but this config is enough for me.. I feel like phone or wallet easy to carry anywhere. Battery life and speed is very good. I think Now I will not go back to other brand. My favorite was HP and now MacBook is my favorite now. Thanks Sathish

    The M1 MacBook Air impresses with superior performance surpassing any other MacBook in this price section in my opinion. I get nearly 13 hours of remarkable battery life. Retaining the beloved design features, ia vibrant retina display, and the reliable Magic Keyboard, and the battery space and overall performance is the tops.

    Nice size. Excellent for small tasks and most day-to-day uses. Looks good, works well, light weight... Little slow on the more demanding things. But overall very pleased with what it can do at the pricepoint. Lot's of positive value with Apple quality and features. Highly recommend for entry level users that enjoy Apple products.

    Quietest Laptop

    I love using this laptop. Its an excellent computer with beyond imaginable battery life. If you use the laptop for anything other than games for video editing, the battery fully charged will last you days. Its so good. Nothing else out there comes close to this computer. Also, if you are coming from an older Intel Mac or Windows laptop, you will immediately notice the silence. I cannot stand using any other laptop now because the fan noise from everything else is just so loud. This Macbook Air is dead silent. Just a great machine to use!

    I use this computer daily for work and personal things. I've had no issues! I always thought buying a MacBook would be a waste of time and money; however, I was proven wrong. The battery life is great, display is great, it runs fast, everything about it is great. I definitely recommend buying new.

    Never had a macbook before this but it seems solid. The display quality and battery life are both way better than I expected. The chipset is pretty beefy for such a "budget" macbook and I definitely could use it for more than just web-browsing and the occasional document writing, and its pretty user friendly (yes even if you've never used a mac before)

    This thing is quite amazing. I have been an Apple guy since the early 2000s and haven't been this excited about an Apple product since the iPhone came out. This is a joy to use. I have a 16in Intel MacBook Pro for work and the M1 MacBook Air is so much better in every way. The speed, battery life and how it wakes up immediately from sleep are amazing. I have an iPad Pro and don't use it as much now. The only bummer is the one external monitor limitation but otherwise this is the perfect laptop.

    Perfect for my needs. Lightweight and easy to use. I replaced a 2006 MacBook, so this it's nice to have a battery that works again! Got a great price on sale! I mostly use it for email, Facebook and editing files. It's nice to be able to have a lot of tabs open and not have it crash. For my needs, it's perfect!

    Awesome laptop...M1 chip was worth the wait!

    I’ve used a MacBook Pro for work for years, but this is my first Apple laptop for home use. I waited for the release with the M1 chip, and have not been disappointed one bit! I use it for normal everyday use...Office products, internet, video streaming...but also occasionally will do some photo or video editing. This new MacBook Air handles everything with no problems whatsoever. It is crisp, fast, responsive, and handles everything easily. No fan — no problem. This machine never gets warm. Retina display looks great, the magic keyboard is indeed magical...I actually hate typing on my 2017 Pro for work after using my new Air. Is it perfect? No. The webcam is still not great (although fine for what we use it for), and only 2 ports is not near enough. If you’re doing heavy duty video encoding you might consider the Pro, but the Air is more than powerful enough for general everyday use and more. We have iPhones, iPads, Apple TV, so this obviously integrates smoothly into the Apple ecosystem. Using Airdrop to share files or images throughout our home makes me wonder why I didn’t make this change sooner. My local Best Buy was out of the color I wanted, but ordering online was a breeze and it was delivered to my door the next day. I was in the market for a new laptop for about a year, and I’ll tell you this was worth the wait. Couldn’t be happier!

    The Air has become a powerhouse in its own right, unlike the Air of previous generations. The entry level MacBook is a next level laptop compared to Windows or ChromeOS machines. Fanless and silent, it boasts the power and efficiency of M1 in a thin and light package. Battery life has been unreasonably good, and i haven’t even bothered to bring my charger with me anywhere. M1 has changed everything.

    This thing rocks! Best laptop I've ever owned without a doubt. Size and weight are perfect, screen gets bright enough, speakers are good, trackpad is awesome, keys feel nice, and the battery literally lasted me a whole week of average use. I haven't done any intense tasks on it yet (photo editing, video editing, music production) since I have a PC for that but as far as the everyday email, web browsing, video streaming, video calls, etc go, this is an unbelievable computer *especially* for the price.

    I needed a new laptop after my 8 year old MacBook Pro. I decided on a MacBook Air. I had the Geek Squad put my old stuff onto the new one. I love my laptop! It is light and fast and has a good sound. The pictures are bright and clear. I chose the gold colored one which almost looks bronze. Very pretty. And, it was on sale.

    Perfect for med students. The device is light and easily portable with a long battery life - I am able to go through a whole day of lectures from 8am to 8pm without recharging the device. Has a good amount of storage - the speed and functionality of the device are not compromised by the large use of storage that I can tell so far. I find that 8GB of RAM is sufficient enough for med school especially if you save everything to the cloud/office365/Google Drive. The only downside is unable to have different lock screen wallpaper from desktop wallpaper.

    I bought a Dell G7 from Best Buy a Little over a year earlier, it was supposed to be a high-end gaming laptop. I don’t really use it for games but more for video editing or audio editing as well as day-to-day tasks. This puny MacBook air blew it away in every aspect. Cool to the touch silent and faster. And the battery life on the G7 was a joke. I went days between charging the air. Screen is bigger on the G7 but other than that, the M1 makes me wonder…. What the heck is in store for the future? Wow
