    Apple M1: Blazing speed for all the apps I use including photo processing. Silent and cool in use which differs from my past experience with older models. The limited # of usb and no SS card is a limitation forthcoming apple MacBooks will address. I use a dongle when I am using multiple I/o for example scanning photos to an external drive. Delivery from best buy was straightforward and easy. Props to them.

    These first generation MacBook Air machines using Apple Silicon (M1) are an incredible option. These machines are fanless yet they never seem to get warm and the battery life if outstanding. I used this machine to edit 1080p video in Final Cut Pro and you would not believe the performance when compared to my 2020 MacBook Pro with an Intel processor (16gb/512gb) which cost nearly double this price.

    I am a longtime committed Apple customer. This review will probably be most useful for older customers. I've just purchased this macbook so am still getting used to it. This is a very light macbook air. That's probably its best feature as far as I'm concerned. I've owned macbook pros in the past so it's nice to have such a light machine. But for someone with aging eyes I find it more difficult to read information quickly on this mac because there's a lot of information crowding a small space. Fonts and icons are necessarily very small. I realize there are ways to deal with this but it's worth acknowledging this reality. I miss the space of the macbook pro screen. Also significant for me is the fact that there are only a few ports on the computer body itself--for power cord and earphones. There's an additional port that allows connection with a "hyperdrive" (sold separately) that provides usb and several other ports. If I were working at a desk this wouldn't be a negative, but since I work on my lap, that means that the laptop has a series of additional cords and drives, etc, dangling off it--a bit like a patient on life support. I do love the screensaver. And once I get over the learning curve I expect I'll be fine with this machine. I would certainly recommend that a friend consider buying it if they don't mind the issues mentioned above.

    Love my Mac. Just switched from PC to Mac and though it's a learning curve I have no regrets. Did a lot of research on this before purchasing as I was looking for ease of use, speed, convenience and long battery life. This hits the mark in all areas. Love that I can take this anywhere. It is easily scratched so I highly recommend buying a skin for it - really cool and affordable options on Amazon.

    I was waiting for the new MacBooks to come out this year but after seeing the prices and watching some YouTube videos, I decided to purchase the 2020 air with the M1 chip and enhanced storage. This laptop is FAST. Coming from an early 2015 MacBook Air, I run software on this with no problem that used to completely freeze my old laptop. This will definitely be lasting a long time.

    Apple MacBook Air 2020, works perfect as expected from Apple products. It’s a big upgrade from the 2013 model and easy to appreciate the benefits (speed, storage, etc). The Best Buy experience to purchase device online, open a credit account to pay with special 18 month offer, and the delivery before Christmas, was all worry-free and very simple.

    Bought for my wife replacing a older 11” Mac air. Huge improvement in keypad and reliable thumb pad security. Got this one with the larger storage and slightly better M1 processor. Satisfied with speed. Supposedly this is WiFi 6 “Mesh WiFi” compatible. Recently installed linksys three tower whole house WiFi 6 system. Can’t prove that it made a difference with this 2020 M1 Apple MacAir. Overall happy with the product

    I love my MacBook! It is a powerhouse with a long lasting battery, and an easy to use platform. Although the newest model is slightly heavier than my previous, ultra-thin gold model, this laptop is still small, lightweight and portable. I prefer the smaller size and while my small gold unit was great I like having more than one port for additional plugs etc.

    I give this 4 stars as it's not the latest port and Apple silicon upgraded version. However this M1 CPU version is still world class powerful and super light. It has two USB4/Thunderbolt 40 GB port - one is your charge port as well. A headphone jack as well which makes it nice as a personal entertainment machine on the go. Awesome screen, battery, and sound that is very impressive in a 2.8 lb genie. No fan and yet stays no more than warm even playing games. Not cheap so if you have a little more to spend the newer M2 with SD and MagSafe maybe worth a look. For me as a travel machine it's everything I need.
