Value purchase (depending on one?s needs)

No product is perfect, so I deliberate over 5 star ratings, but it?s performing well, so far. While not inexpensive, you get a lot for money spent and components utilized?good value. Good service via vendor (Adorama).

Great Website, Great Product, Great Review!

Absolutely incredible product! it is not necessarily worth it to wait until the 2022 model, this model is SO fast. I had a 2014 before and the difference is incredible. I swear the computer starts to act before I even press any keys haha. and the Andorama process is easy, affordable and helpful. I was able to talk to staff, receive discounts, and the shipping was quick and safe! Great site and great product.

Nice Item

Very nice item. I?m a first time Mac user so coming from Windows PC?s, there is a lot to learn. Google is very helpful. It runs smoothly, has a comfortable keyboard and is very fast. There are pros and cons however, the pros outweigh the cons. This a great device.

Great upgrade from Intel laptops

The new M1 MacBook Air is a great upgrade from an earlier Intel MacBook Air or low-end MacBook Pro. There is always a new Apple product on the horizon but if you need to upgrade now this is a great, reliable option.

Easy choice, but get 16GB

It?s amazing that Apple is making the best value laptop, if you take into account the combination of size, appearance, speed, build quality, display, and silent cool operation. It?s hard to justify anything else, including PC laptops or the more expensive MacBook Pro. I upgraded from an 8GB 2019 Intel MacBook Air to this 16GB 2021 M1 model. But, for reference, I?m also an experienced user of PCs and other Macs, including very high end ones. The older MacBook Air had some stability problems that I blame on greedy Google websites and the 8GB memory constraint. It also ran the cooling fan more than I would prefer, and drained the battery much faster than the new one. I couldn?t be happier (so far) with the new model. I?d recommend springing for the extra memory to have the extra stability headroom. There aren?t many negatives. If you don?t care whether or not it?s Intel inside, and aren?t stuck in Windows, this is an easy/clear choice.

Awesome Laptop/Desktop

First time Mac user and love it! After watching a couple videos on youtube switching from Windows to Mac, I am happy I made the switch. Super fast and long battery life. Pay the extra to future proof yourself. This better be the longest laptop/desktop I have ever owned. Also, have the dual monitors, magic keyboard with touch id, and magic mouse at my office. Just use one usb-c plug in and now its my desktop.

Great Computer! Fantastic Bundle!

By AZ C.

I Have owned Apple Computers for over 15 years. This is my first MacBook Air. Like everything else Apple, everything just works! Easy set up, import of information was simple and fast and connecting to WiFi printers etc was so simple and easy! I have Mavericks on my iMac and MacBook Pro and love how simple it is to do things. Boot up is super fast and Battery time is really great! This computer is so light and portable. I will use this computer in the field often. My iPhone, iPad and other co...

MacBook Air

Power. It's in the Air.
Our thinnest, lightest notebook, completely transformed by the Apple M1 chip. CPU speeds up to 3.5x faster. GPU speeds up to 5x faster. Our most advanced Neural Engine for up to 9x faster machine learning. The longest battery life ever in a MacBook Air. And a silent, fanless design. This much power has never been this ready to go.

Small chip. Giant leap.
It's here. Our first chip designed specifically for Mac. Packed with an astonishing 16 billion transistors, the Apple M1 system on a chip (SoC) integrates the CPU, GPU, Neural Engine, I/O, and so much more onto a single tiny chip. With incredible performance, custom technologies, and industry-leading power efficiency, M1 is not just a next step for Mac - it's another level entirely.

CPU

8-core CPU Devours tasks. Sips battery.
M1 has the fastest CPU we've ever made. With that kind of processing speed, MacBook Air can take on new extraordinarily intensive tasks like professional-quality editing and action-packed gaming. But the 8-core CPU on M1 isn't just up to 3.5x faster than the previous generation - it balances high-performance cores with efficiency cores that can still crush everyday jobs while using just a tenth of the power.

GPU
8-Core GPU Plays Hard. Works wonders.

All-day battery life
Up to 18 hours of battery life. That's 6 more hours, free of charge.

Thermal efficiency
• No fan.
• No noise.
• Just Air.

Machine learning
Up to 9x faster. Even for a 16-core Neural Engine, that's a lot to process. Apps on MacBook Air can use machine learning (ML) to automatically retouch photos like a pro, make smart tools such as magic wands and audio filters more accurate at auto-detection, and so much more. That's not just brain power - that's the power of a full stack of ML technologies.

macOS Big Sur

The power of macOS Big Sur on M1.
Developed to unlock the potential of the M1 chip, macOS Big Sur transforms Mac with major performance benefits and so much more. Powerful updates for apps. A beautiful new design. Industry-leading privacy features and best-in-class security. It's our most powerful software ever - running on our most advanced hardware yet.

Speed and responsiveness
The M1 chip and macOS Big Sur work together to make the entire system snappier. MacBook Air wakes instantly from sleep. Everyday tasks from flipping through photos to browsing Safari are faster. And your hardest-working apps all have access to the power they need.

• More power. Wakes instantly.

Biggest collection of apps ever
Run powerful apps built for M1. All your existing apps work thanks to Rosetta 2. And for the first time, you can use your favorite iPhone and iPad apps directly on macOS Big Sur. Altogether you'll have access to the biggest collection of apps ever for Mac.

Unified memory
The do-it-all notebook gets do-the-unbelievable memory. The M1 chip brings superfast unified memory. This single pool of high-bandwidth, low-latency memory allows apps to share data between the CPU, GPU, and Neural Engine efficiently - so everything you do is fast and fluid.

Security
MacBook Air can keep a secret.

Retina display

Lifelike colors for unreal beauty.
Images take on new levels of detail and realism on the brilliant 13.3-inch, 2560-by-1600-resolution Retina display. Text is sharp and clear. Colors are more vibrant than ever. And the glass goes right to the edge of the enclosure, so nothing takes away from your gorgeous view.

P3 wide color gamut
A wider palette of colors on display.

• 25% more colors than sRGB

Pixel density
Razor sharp text clarity.

True Tone technology
Good looking. And easy on the eyes. MacBook Air automatically adjusts the white point of your display to the color temperature of your environment for a more natural viewing experience.

Camera and mics

You're live on the Air.
The image signal processor in the M1 chip helps you look your best for every FaceTime call and video conference. Three built-in microphones make sure what you say gets heard whether you're on a call, dictating a note, or asking Siri about the weather.

FaceTime HD camera
Get clearer, sharper images. See more detail in shadows and highlights. And face detection uses the Neural Engine to adjust white balance and exposure for even more natural-looking skin tones.

Three-microphone array
Say "Hello" to mics that focus on your voice instead of what's going on around you.

Magic Keyboard

Go ahead. Take the keys.
When a keyboard types like a dream and still does a whole lot more: that's magic. With new preprogrammed shortcuts, useful features are even easier to access. Get help from Siri, switch keyboard languages, respond with the perfect emoji, find documents with Spotlight - there's so much you can do with just a tap. And the backlit keys with ambient light sensor help you type in low-light settings.

Scissor mechanism
The refined scissor mechanism delivers the best typing experience ever on a Mac notebook.

Force Touch trackpad
Precise control with plenty of room to swipe, pinch, or zoom.

Touch ID
One touch is all it takes to lock or unlock MacBook Air. Use your fingerprint to rent a movie, buy an app, or access things like secure documents or system settings without having to reenter your password. And when you shop online with Apple Pay, Touch ID fills in your shipping and billing information without sharing your card details.

• Unlock your Mac
• Use Apple Pay
• Open password-protected documents
• Make purchases on the Apple TV app

Connectivity Charges, chats, streams, works, and plays well with others.

Wi-Fi 6
The next generation of Wi-Fi isn't just faster - it keeps MacBook Air going strong even as more and more devices join the network.

• Wi-Fi 6 Up to 1.2Gb/s throughput

Thunderbolt / USB 4
Ultra-high bandwidth meets ultra-versatility. Thunderbolt enables data transfer, charging, and video output all through a single port - and MacBook Air has two of them.

• Charging
• External display
• Data transfer up to 40Gb/s
• Connecting your devices
