    I bought one yesterday on Facebook Marketplace, listed for $450, the guy said $400 if you pick it up now, then called me that his car started heating up and can't meet up halfway and that if I could meet at a Walgreens there he'll give it up for $350, so I got there, said I was inside the Walgreens and the MacBook had 10 battery charge cycles and 11 months left on the warranty...now I have a basically new M1 Air for the price of a Pentium Windows laptop. Thankyou all who read this long ass story.

    I bought my M1 (8 CPU, 8 GPU, 16 NPU, 16 GB memory, 1TB storage) in August, 2021. It has been a phenomenal machine. Unless you need to do very heavy lifting (very complex video editing, advanced audio editing, Mathematica, etc.), it will be all you need.

    I am a pro photographer/videographer and purchased the M1 MacBook Air with 512 Go of storage and 8 GB of Ram in 2022. It is an amazing computer that has never let me down or slowed my editing process. We also use the same chip M1 iMac, but with 2 To of storage and 16 GB of RAM. Very fast as well.

    I’ve had mine for over a year and it has been great. I’m a very basic user and it has been a dream. I doubt I’d see any difference between the different M chips.
    I just decided to learn basic python programming and I know it’s fine for that. I may do some video editing in the future but it will be basic stuff like home videos for my family. I know it’ll be fine.

    I bought M1 air last week, it runs so well and fast. I bought it for blogging and occasional video editing. N so far i am so happy.
    Before I was going to biy M3 and i almost made my mind. Then i came across a video if comparison of M1 vs M3 and the performance was almost same ...So i thought it doesn't make any sense to pay more for M3 and get almost similar performance and so i finalized on M1..one if the best decision i made...

    I'm still using this MacBook Air M1 as my daily laptop because it's so lightweight and portable. It can still handle not just basic stuff but also gaming (I play The Sims 4 - no issues. The performance is smooth). When editing on Photoshop it can handle pretty well. As well as for video editing, I'm mainly use Final Cut Pro. Everything is smooth when editing and when rendering but It would be wise to use 512GB as when rendering it uses a lot of space on your SSD if you're editing a duration of video for at least 20 mins and above. You need 512GB.
    And the battery life is so amazing! It will last you almost a day from using it.
    This is the best Air they ever made. I think they accidentally put the best chip inside And the price is cheap lol

    I just got a 2020 MacBook Pro M1 for around $680 US dollars on eBay that's optioned with 16gb of ram and its standard 256gb ssd, I'm upgrading from a 15in mid 2015 MacBook Pro it is still fairly useable in todays age as I had it through December of 2023 up until this week in which I will put to rest. I had replaced its battery with a new one, as well with its speakers and ssd to a 1TB along with using open core legacy to get the latest patches and it has still been useable throughout my first semester of college. I would still be using it but I had an opportunity to get into apple silicon with the specs this M1 had, So now I am just listing it in my local Facebook marketplace to recoup some costs with this purchase. I am overall pleased so far with its battery life and speed, even the touch bar is still taking some getting used to but overall it isn't as bad as you'd think so if y'all are in the market for one go for it just make sure you get one with 16gb of ram so your device is future proofed

    Don’t do it.
    Screen is super fragile.
    Mine cracked out of seemingly nowhere after less than 6months - looked it up to see thousands of others have experienced the same thing.
    I wish I was notified before investing in this “premium” laptop.
    Been using apple for over a decade but this is making me consider getting a Lenovo or ASUS, not sure yet though as I’ve never owned a windows laptop.

      The M1 MacBook Air is an excellent machine, but it isn’t for someone like you, so don’t criticize just because doesn’t satisfy your needs, I guess you are a windows guys, so go buy something with windows in it and a x86 processor instead of criticizing a machine that is excellent but you talk bad about it because it isn’t for you… btw if you want something similar to a M1 MacBook but with windows now you can have it with the snapdragon machines with the new X elite processors…you should buy one of those instead of criticizing and talking rubbish…

      I understand what you are saying for sure. To give you an idea. I have a framework 1st gen performance (mid tier) and I bought a Macbook Air M1 for $650 last week. For the Air I went with a 16gig version because 8 gigs is not enough for modern day unless you want to risk killing the SSD. You are absolutely right about the lack of upgrades with the addition of insane costs with Apple products. I also run Linux on other machines. I do not use Google Drive (Use GrapheneOS for cell), ICloud (I removed Internet Accounts on the mac) or OneDrive(Local Account). I do have have an alternative for cloud storage that works fine across all platforms, including encryption where my devices hold the key. Framework is fantastic, after the initial costs, I can keep that machine running for far longer than any mac just because I can upgrade any and every component or replace if any gets damaged. With all that said, the M1 Macbook Air is a really nice machine. It's really is a solid computer and while I hate the lack of ports, it's not a problem for my usage. While I generally hate dongles, I had to get one for the framework for an ethernet adapter with three USB 2 type As that will work fine for the Air as well. Furthermore, there are many in the open source community that are porting Linux to the M series Macs. With Microsoft also working to push arm based CPUs for their Windows OS, I think x86-64 is on the way out but time will tell with that. So I absolutely hate the lack of repair available for Apple products and refuse to give them any money (hence why I went used for the Air), this is a solid laptop for the go. I am also not stuck on any one "eco-system" from any of the major players.

      Mac is a different framework. You’re really going to be more butt hurt when you realize Apple’s decision to go with SOC was the best decision for laptops. Better efficiency and more power. ALL the major manufacturers are looking for an ARM solution and soldering the SAME components you’re whining about.
