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...

Light. Speed.
The incredibly thin and light MacBook Air is now more powerful than ever. It features a brilliant Retina display, new Magic Keyboard, Touch ID, processors with up to twice the performance, faster graphics, and double the storage capacity. The sleek wedge-shaped design is created from 100 percent recycled aluminum, making it the greenest Mac ever. And with all-day battery life, our most popular Mac is your perfectly portable, do-it-all notebook.

Retina Display - Four million pixels. One immersive experience.
With a resolution of 2560-by-1600 for over 4 million pixels, the results are positively jaw dropping. Images take on a new level of detail and realism. Text is sharp and clear. And True Tone technology automatically adjusts the white point of the display to match the color temperature of your environment - making web pages and email look as natural as the printed page. With millions of colors, everything you see is rich and vibrant. The display glass goes right to the edge of the enclosure, so you can focus on what's on your screen. And you're going to love what you see.

• 13.3" high-resolution Retina display
• True Tone technology
• Razor-sharp text clarity
• 48% More Colors

Keyboard - Feel the Magic.
MacBook Air now features the new Magic Keyboard, first seen on the 16-inch MacBook Pro. The refined scissor mechanism with 1 mm of travel delivers a responsive, comfortable, and quiet typing experience. The inverted-T arrow keys help you fly through lines of code, spreadsheets, or game environments. And the backlit keys with ambient light sensor help you type in low-light settings.

Force Touch Trackpad
The Force Touch trackpad is one of the best in the world. It lets you interact with your Mac in a variety of ways based on subtle differences in pressure. You have precise control and a uniform response - no matter where you click the trackpad - as well as plenty of room for Multi-Touch gestures like pinch and zoom. Your fingers will feel right at home.

Touch ID - Your fingerprint is your password.
The advanced security and convenience of Touch ID are built right into MacBook Air. Simply place your finger on the Touch ID sensor and - just like that - your Mac unlocks. Use your fingerprint to immediately access locked documents, notes, and system settings, without entering yet another password. Online shopping is even easier - select Apple Pay at checkout, and with just one touch you're done. No need to enter shipping or billing info, and your card details are never shared. With Touch ID, your private information stays private.

• Quickly unlock your Mac without typing a password
• Securely make online purchases with Apple Pay
• Instantly authenticate password-protected documents

Apple T2 Security Chip
MacBook Air features the Apple T2 Security Chip - second-generation custom Mac silicon designed by Apple to make MacBook Air even more secure. So when you use Touch ID to unlock your Mac, authenticate a document, or pay a merchant online, your information stays safe. With on-the-fly data encryption, all your data stored on the SSD is automatically and fully encrypted. And thanks to the T2 Security Chip, MacBook Air features a familiar voice - Hey Siri is always ready to open apps, find documents, play music, and answer your questions.

Speakers and Camera - Sound that speaks volumes.
With the latest in processing and tuning techniques, MacBook Air sounds better than ever. Stereo speakers deliver twice the bass and 25 percent more volume.3 And wider stereo sound creates immersive audio when you're listening to music or watching a movie. The FaceTime camera lets one - or many - of your friends and family members see you in high definition. And three microphones form an array that more accurately captures your voice for FaceTime calls, dictation, and talking to Siri.

• 2x more bass
• 25% more volume
• Three-micr ophone array captures your voice more accurately
• FaceTime HD camera for one-to-one and group calls

Thunderbolt 3 - One for all, all in one.
Thunderbolt 3 combines ultra-high bandwidth with the ultra-versatility of the USB-C industry standard to create one revved-up universal port - and MacBook Air has two of them. Thunderbolt 3 integrates data transfer, charging, and video output in a single connector, delivering up to 40Gb/s of throughput for twice the bandwidth of Thunderbolt 2. Existing devices are easily connected with a cable or adapter. And Thunderbolt 3 is reversible, so no matter how you plug it in, it's always right side up.

macOS Catalina - The power of Mac. Taken further.
Featuring dedicated apps for music, TV, and podcasts, smart new features in the apps you use every day, and Sidecar, which lets you use iPad as a second Mac display.

Mac + iPhone All together now.
Copy a photo on your iPhone and paste it on your Mac. Create a shopping list on your Mac and take it with you on your iPhone. Or start an Apple Arcade game on either device and finish it on the other. Your Mac works with your iPhone in ways no other computer can.

Messages
Send and receive text messages on your Mac. All the messages that appear on your iPhone appear on your Mac too, so all your conversations are always up to date.

Handoff
Start a document, email, text, note, and more on your Mac and finish it on your iPhone - or vice versa.

Materials - Made with 100% recycled aluminum.
MacBook Air is made with an aluminum alloy created by Apple that delivers the same strength, durability, and flawless finish - without mining any new aluminum from the earth. It's designed to use shavings of recaptured aluminum that are re-engineered down to the atomic level. The result is an enclosure as incredibly beautiful and strong as any we have made.

• 47% lower carbon emissions
• AL 6000 series aluminum for strength and durability
