    • Excellent laptop! Convenient, easy-to-carry, lightweight, and fully functional!
Color: Gold Set: Without AppleCare+
I bought this laptop new. I replaced my 2017 PC due to its age/wear. I did my research, found the M1 and M2 base models were similar in performance/specs so decided on the M1 due to price. This excellent little laptop works perfectly for both professional use and recreational use! I have high standards for technology and performance, and this laptop excellently meets my standards! The performance for what you pay for is wonderful - The M1 chip is powerful and allows for multiple tabs to be open. Perfect for Zoom/FaceTime/Google Meet meetings. Amazing battery life, excellent build quality, and great durability. The battery is excellently working even after 4+ years now. ... show more

    • Absolutely wonderful little laptop
Color: Silver Set: Without AppleCare+
This little laptop is SO good. The keyboard feels phenomenal, I cannot tell there are any pixels on the screen, and the battery has never died on me. The screen was weird, but since it was under warranty Apple replaced it for free. The build quality is excellent. The solid metal construction simply cannot be broken under normal use. It's great for school and home use. The only issue with gaming is that it overheats, and of course, not very many games are available on the Mac, so not the computer's fault. This is a 10/10 laptop would recommend it to anyone else looking for a small, portable, and powerful laptop. Speaking of power, this thing FLIES. It handles any task I throw at it. I tried video editing the other day, and it handles my 4K timeline so easily. Final rating: Build quality: 10/10 Keyboard: 10/10 Display: 10/10 Gaming: 8/10 Performance: 10/10 ... show more

    • Awesome notebook computer!
Color: Space Gray Set: Without AppleCare+
I have two MacBook Airs (MBA), a 13" and a 11, both with the previous form factor (the wide, body colored bezel around the screen, 1280x800 resolution) and this new 13" MBA improves upon it in every way (almost) and makes it nearly perfect. Good: - SCREEN looks great! 2560x1600 resolution is bright and sharp and looks good with the thin black bezel. I usually don't go above 50% brightness. - KEYBOARD is good. Some have mentioned that it still sucks, but I find it much better than the older MBAs that I own and better than say, the Magic Keyboard. Even with a thin silicone keyboard cover I find the typing experience to be much better and I can type faster and with fewer mistakes. - BATTERY LIFE is fantastic. Haven't done any real testing yet and obviously it depends on a lot of factors (wifi usage, video streaming, HD vs 4k video viewing/processing/etc., screen brightness, type of app being used, etc.) but for my usage (mostly web browsing, video viewing on YouTube, accessing VPN for work (Citrix, EPIC), etc., it has been great. Easily tops 10 hours and super impressed so far. - LOOKS GREAT. Love the newer (I know that the actual exterior design is a few years old by now) design, looks and feels great. Form factor is nice and it is a reasonable weight. - NO FAN. That's awesome, as it not only stays quiet all the time but you also do not need to worry about blocking any fan vents on the bottom or back of the case while you have it on your lap. Pretty amazing really for a laptop to have no fans. - PERFORMANCE. It works great so far on what I have used it for, which is not terribly a lot, but it is what it is for a laptop using Apple silicon for the first time. For just day to day use and things like Chrome, Office (Word, Excel), Citirx, EPIC, etc., it has been super smooth and fast. Have not tried gaming yet but do not have high hopes given it is the base model with 7-core GPU. Also, things like start up are noticeably faster with the M1 versus my 2020 iMac 27" (top end) with Intel chips. - TOUCH ID is great still. Works very fast and the button does not get greasy (which makes it not work well) like the old iPhone home buttons. On the other hand, it should really have Face ID at this point. - APPLE ECOSYSTEM is great as usual and a real reason to get this MBA. Apple Watch easily unlocks it (so you do not really need Face ID if you have the watch). You can easily send/receive files using AirDrop or cast using AirPlay. And so on and so forth. - BIG SUR comes preinstalled but you need to update to get 11.0.1. NOT GOOD: - WEBCAM still sucks. Still low resolution and just does not look good in FaceTime, Teams, etc. Shame that Apple is so slow to upgrade webcams on the Macs (the 27" iMac FINALLY upgraded to 1080p front cams only a couple months ago... I got one and it looks so much better than this MBA's camera). - ONLY 2 PORTS. Sad that this thing has only 2 USB-C ports (that cover thunderbolt 3, USB 3.1, charging, DisplayPort). Given that it is used to charge, it leaves only one USB-C port for other use, pretty lame. I wish they had squeezed (I think it would fit) a USB-A port so that I could plug in my wireless mouse USB-A dongle as I have never liked any bluetooth mouse, or at least one more USB-C port. - NEW TECH (Apple silicon) means the M1-optimized apps are still being rolled out, e.g. Photoshop still not available at release. - BATTERY still cannot be removed, no surprise here, but means that like all Apple mobile tech it will have a useable lifespan determined at least partly by the non-removable battery. Easier to have an iPhone's battery replaced than a MBA I would imagine but hopefully it maintains a high level of performance for 4 years at the minimum. OVERALL: A few negatives (mostly the webcam) but enough significant improvements that this MBA is really a no-brainer for anyone needing a non-power notebook compute, especially if s/he is already in the Apple ecosystem. Love it so far! ... show more

Color: Silver Set: Without AppleCare+
Just kidding. If you do that, how will you be able to read my fantastic review. So this is actually my first laptop. I’ve never been able to afford one and recently got a work from home job that required one. I wasn’t sure what to look for buying a laptop. I read reviews on several different styles of Mac, and went with this, as it seemed to be the best value for the price. Knowing it was an older version I was fine with that as I wasn’t looking for top-of-the-line for what I’m using it for. Something to consider is that the screen is fairly small. my coworkers are surprised that I’m able to use a screen as small as this I like the size of the laptop overall and it’s not too heavy to have to transport so it works perfectly for me. I would say that it holds charge for a decent amount of time and it ends up charging very quickly when plugged in. I like the appearance I like the fact that it connects with my iPhone. It was a new experience for me being able to read and respond to text on a laptop and it’s some thing that I enjoy doing. I can’t speak to any other functions that people might consider when buying a laptop as I’m not doing anything Very exciting with this. However, I would say if you’re looking for a basic laptop either for your self or for a remote job, this is a great option at a reasonable price. ... show more
