    New to Mac, put I enjoy using this over my Dell. I have it configured to run the native and 2 external displays and it’s performance has been stellar. I waited to write a review because I wasn’t sure if I would make a complete cut over. But it has been an excellent workhorse as personal device.

    Do your research before buying the new MacBook Air with the M1 chip. If you are using a MacBook now make sure any programs your using with work on the new Apple M1 chip. Other than that I enjoy my new MacBook Air with the M1 chip. It is faster the my old 2017 MacBook Air.

    Bought this instead of a Windows Ultrabook because I decided to join my wife and daughter in the iPhone world. Liked the thought of the phone and Mac being able to share apps and sort of "work together". The MacBook Air is an excellent computer. Beautiful display, very well built, and fast. Those are the positives. My issues are all about MacOS. It's simple to be sure. Maybe too simple. Multitasking is sort of a joke. Hopefully MacOS Monterey addresses that. Bottom line - I returned it in favor of a Dell XPS 13 with the OLED display.

    Best Buy delivers consistent quality with excellent prices. I recently bought the M1 Apple Air Book and it is everything I could have imagined. Currently I am using the curb side pick-up where I call and the equipment is delivered to my car. Every member of their team is well trained in customer service.

    The battery life is excellent, but the processing power is unparalleled by previous Apple devices. I can have a dozen apps open for schoolwork and there is absolutely no computer delay. I was reluctant to spend so much money on a new computer but the new M1 chip was worth it.

    After using this computer for about a month, I have to say I'm really impressed! My previous computers have all been Windows or DOS machines, but switching to MacOS has been pretty painless. I'm not really a PC gamer nor do I do video editing, so the Air has been perfect for my needs.

    This is hands down one of the smartest purchases I've ever made. The laptop is fast with M1 chip with the 8 GB Ram and the upgraded storage is a plus. I am recording music and doing music production, and this fits my needs perfectly.

    I love my new MacBook, what's not to love. It is sleek and light weight. The best thing is that it holds so much more information than my old one that I won't have to get a new one for many years. All the information from my old Mac was put on this one and it didn't even fill up much space.

    not that anything was wrong with the previous models, but my wife had a MacBook air from like 2013, so when it came time for her to upgrade this was the best choice to upgrade to. File transferring is made easy from old to new, and you don't have to hear a loud fan all the time now.

    Have long been an Apple fan. Took me over a year to save up for one of the new M1 chips from Apple, and I am MORE than impressed with it's performance. I have decided for now not to use anything but Apple installed programs just for compatibility reasons.

    Bought this not knowing much about the macOS operating system since I’ve owned only windows pc’s, but so far I am very pleased with it. I have owned iPhones for years so I am familiar with iOS itself and am very happy with the MacBook and the M1 chip is fast.

    Works great! The new M1 is fast enough to suit my needs. I was an Officer 365 power user who used to max out the capabilities of my laptop. I have yet to come close to maxing out the capabilities of this Macbook. I was debating between the Air and the Pro, and I do not regret purchasing my Air.

    Got this as a Christmas gift for the wife. She absolutely loves it. She was surprised how quickly she was able to adjust to a Mac vs a pc. It’s fast and efficient and does everything my wife needs to get done on a computer. Highly recommend this computer!

    Best purchase ever. The outside just lovely color, It was supposed to be gold but is more like a golden pink. I didn't buy it to play music, but once I started listening, I was amazed. So far that's it, I will keep using it to discover more features

    Best Mac I've ever owned. I'm mostly a PC guy until I got a MBP '15 back in 2019. I wanted something a bit lighter with better battery life and this fit the bill after extensive research, I decided to go all in. Two months later I'm still incredibly happy with my purchase.

    Love this. It's my 4th MacBook Air. My first two were work-issued. I kept my first purchased one for 7 years (way longer than I thought I would) and bought this to keep as a dedicated work computer. I'm keeping the old one for personal files and work.

    I bought this for my wife. Her Macbook Air from 2014 finally met its end. The Air has more than enough power for her to do her day-to-day tasks. She doesn't "work" from her laptop, but the battery is great and it's very easy for her to tote around.

    MacBook Air Apple M1 Chip

    The new Apple M1 chip really surprised me with its performance, and this is coming from someone who has an i9-10900k and ryzen 9 3900x in two desktops. It really puts the Intel laptop chips to shame. Everything else about it is on par with Apples normal level of quality.
