Great laptop, easy to use and very quick.
We purchased this MacBook for my son as a Christmas gift, it is a great laptop. It does everything we require and is easy to use, the new M1 chip is faster than my daughters 2019 MacBook Pro. We are extremely happy with our purchase and it came very quickly when we purchased it online.
Fast service
Loved how when I arrived at my local Harvey Norman, there was someone to greet me and was able to assist me with my click and collect product; therefore I was in and out which was perfect!
Apple MacBook Air 13-inch: Apple M1 Chip with 8 Core CPU and 7 Core GPU 256GB storage - Space Grey MGN63X/A review
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.
Amazing little machine
Forget buying anything else and get this. It has amazing battery life, I can go 2 weeks without charging and I never worry about how long the battery has to go. I can never go back to a windows laptop now.

The more expensive MacBook Air 2020 M1 basically shares the same pros and cons we found during the review of the entry-level model. The MacBook Air benefits a lot from the M1 processor.- stays cool despite the lack of a fan
- workmanship and iconic design
- speakers
- performance of native apps
- Thunderbolt with limitations
- large display bezels
- 720p webcam
- stability in Rosetta emulated apps
- CPU throttling under longer load
- relatively slow WiFi 6 at only 80 MHz
