    This is a great little machine. It is super quiet since there's no fan, the battery lasts for ages, and if you want a reliable machine you can use for work or home, this is it. If there's one thing that stood out most, it's going to be the keyboard. Yes, it's fast and looks great, but the keyboard feels so good to type on. The only people who won't like this is the power users like programmers who need to run development systems and such. Otherwise, I'm working on this guy or plugging him into a 4K monitor and crushing my work day.

    purchased Mac Air to replace 2007 Mac Pro laptop. love that Air is lighter and thinner but annoyed there are no USB ports. I prefer using a mouse so I bought an add on with USB ports. would prefer to have USB ports built in and don't know why it got eliminated.

    Longtime Mac Abondon-er, Finally back home

    To start off this review on a short simple note, full disclosure, I brought this thing to it's knees and made it cry like a little baby, so I decided ultimately to upgrade the ram, but I am BEYOND PLEASED with how this unit performed. For a fuller review continue reading; This thing is a beast for what it is, better than a 2 year old full fat Desktop PC I made specifically to be compatible with the latest Versions of Mac OS (this laptop runs that thing in circles, and puts off practically zero heat, where as the Desktop makes the entire room hot, like sweaty hot). Parallels finally updated to run on these M1 Macs, so I got that and started messing around. Perfectly adequate for most Windows Exclusive things, trying to run GTA V worked but it was hardly an AMAZING experience, 30-45 fps (considering that is an x86_64 program running in an ARM based windows install, the fact it ran that well in an emulator within an emulator is actually amazing). I decided to twist the screws, and was running a cpu burner in parallels while watching 4k YouTube in safari on an external 4k Monitor, and running Messages, Mail, and the Background Processes that always run. I crippled it to just about a halt, took a couple minutes to get it to a point where I could end it's agony and restart it. Immediately on restart, it was just as snappy as ever (meaning it was the hardware utilization that made it crippled, not the heat itself). I'm very satisfied with this purchase, and YES, as you might have guessed, I am the demographic of people that hadn't bought an actual Mac since 2007 because my last iMac cooked itself to death in an AC'd house and managed to desolder the GPU from the logic board. I'm actually so satisfied with my purchase, counterintuitively enough that I sold this one to my brother for 600$ (he wants to get into hobbyist music production and hasn't had a computer in like 6 years) and ordered a 16gb version of this MacBook Air just so I can see how hard I can make that one cry. I'm glad Apple managed to overdeliver here.
