If you were looking to buy a new laptop for the new year and your budget is in the Rs 1,00,000 range then look no further. Also if you were planning to buy the MacBook Air, then only buy this version as it costs the same as the Intel version.

All of which brings us to the question of whether you should leap in and buy this first-generation M1 hardware or wait for “M2”. There are reasons to wait, especially if you were hoping for a more radical redesign that takes advantage of reduced power demands and no fans.

Sleek design, Impressive performance, Great battery life

Fantastic Service from the Good Guys - service was amazing

I am very happy with my new MacBook Air. I upgraded from early 2015 MacBook Pro and cant believe how responsive and quick it runs with the new M1 chip, web pages for example load in the blink of an eye!

This computer is fast with a clear screen great colours and easy key board
