With plenty of memory makes the new Mac air easy to work with. Very impressed with it.

Have you ever seen a bird sitting contently on a tree and wondered whether it will be afraid of the branch breaking? The bird in all likelihood doesn’t have that fear because fundamentally it’s trust doesn’t lie in the branch — it lies in its wings.

Sleek design, Impressive performance, Great battery life

Efficient and fast processing. Light and handy compared to my MacBook Pro of the same screen size and more comfortable to use on my lap.

Slim, fast, display very clear, very good design...

After 10 years of working with my aging Apple MacBook Pro with busted speakers, undetectable Airport card, and ...

Upgraded from 2010 Mac Book Pro. So everything I expected.

It's difficult to recommend against the M1-based MacBook Air. Apple Silicon support still needs a little work, but rivals all have compromises versus the Air in terms of performance, price or portability.

Crisp display; Performance is super-fast; Fanless design; Brilliant keyboard; Not a bank-breaker; Apple Silicon transition is going well; 256GB minimum storage welcome

Maximum memory of 16GB; Large bezels beginning to look dated; No Face ID login; Some key apps don't run on Apple Silicon natively yet

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.

Phenomenal performance Whisper-quiet operation Flawless display

No design change from previous generation

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.
