fast: the M1 chip is a performance beast silent: no fan, no noise cool: stay cool for most of the normal use build: Apple's top build quality as always

Very happy with the product however would never recommend shopping with Harvey Norman Online to anyone. Waited 2 weeks for my order to be reviewed, no where on the website does it state your order undergoes a review process. My money of course was debited from my account immediately. Customer service is an absolute joke. No phone number to call, only a messaging service who provide generic answers which are of no help at all.

I just bought this and it works really well the M1 chip is fantastic, not all apps from the App Store are their like your regular apple phone yet but there are different ways you can get the specific app you need but overall amazing laptop, really light in weight, nice LED keyboard and I definitely recommend to buy it if you’re a beginner. It’s great for work - school etc as well.

High quality product and able to purchase when sold out out other retailers. Easy to order online with constant communication on transit and ready to pick up message and email. Very happy with the whole process and I would recommend ordering from Harvey Norman online, great service.

So easy to set up, easy to navigate. Fast processing. Best purchase I made

The MacBook Air (M1, 2020) is easily one of the most exciting Apple laptops of recent years. Its M1 chip is a real game-changer, and the ability to run both legacy apps, new M1-optimized apps and iOS apps is very impressive. Battery life is also great, and performance is excellent as well.

macOS Big Sur is fast and responsive; Battery life is great; Silent in use; Keyboard remains very good

No new design; Fanless design could impact performance

There’s an old saying in tech that you should never buy the first generation of any new product – you’re paying to be an early adopter and to iron out the kinks. The thing is, I cannot find any kinks for your average consumer with the new M1 MacBook Air.

super-fast; super cool; extremely long battery life; fanless; great screen; great keyboard; best-in-class trackpad; good speakers; good mics; recycled materials; Touch ID.

poor webcam; only two USB-C ports; can only drive one external display; expensive; some niche apps may have issues running until updated; no BootCamp/Windows.

I was fortunate enough to receive my built-to-order M1 MacBook Air (16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, 8-core GPU) last Tuesday, and I’ve had a week to truly experience it. We’ve all read the early reviews ( Snell , Gruber , and Bohn are the highlights), and they’ve focused on the specs and the highlights, so I...

The thing with the new MacBook Air with M1 is that it is delivering on all the promises. Performance is, for the lack of a better word, incredible. Battery life is, for the lack of a better word, fantastic. System stability is, without a shadow of a doubt, perfectly nailed in.

Reviewing hardware is an act of minutia. Occasionally something new or potentially earth-shattering comes along, but on the whole, it’s about chipping away. Documenting small, gradual changes designed to keep product lines fresh and — if you play your cards right — differentiating yourself from the...
