Best reviews from the United States\




Long battery life (one charge WILL last all day, i.e. 16 hours. Personally tested true)
- Speed (the new M1 processor really is fast)
- Quiet (no fan but the laptop still does not get hot)
- Light and portable
- High resolution & bright display

Disliked:
- As with other MacBooks, the keyboard is mediocre especially compared to laptops like Lenovo Thinkpad
- Incompatible applications (With the M1 processor still being new, you might experience existing programs frequently crash. For example, Chrome keeps crashing) But I would guess there will be a fix soon\




I'm a fan of apple products and I like almost everything about this new MBA. But it has one huge flaw that nobody talks about. It's the camera hardware and it hasn't been updated in ages. My zoom calls are so grainy and bad even with decent light. A $1000 laptop with 10 year old front camera is unacceptable. Camera is very important to me. Especially now that we all are quarantined at home and making zoom calls all the time.


The M1 chip really is amazing. But it only lasted five days for me. Somehow mine managed to break after using a third party USB C hub. The screen wouldn’t turn on at all, and an Apple repair tech couldn’t figure it out after doing a few quick tests. Oh and then Apple said it would take a month to replace it with a new one.
