The 8gb of ram is a bit anemic in , when even smartphones are shipping with more than that. But it's usable for sure. I just wish Apple would design their machines to be user upgradable.

We can credit Apple for re-inventing the modern laptop design, but the promise of a powerful machine remained incomplete.
What's funny is that the Intel partnership they so heavily claimed as what made the first MacBook Air possible is exactly what they needed to get rid of in order to deliver. The reason why this M1 MacBook Air is so important, is because if I asked you what your dream laptop would be, I know few people would prefer a heavy brick with a washed out screen, plus little endurance and a hefty price tag.
We all want the best value for our investment, and after testing this Air for five months, I actually think it's too good for the money. I even debate why anyone would want to pay more for a MacBook Pro. The M1 MacBook Air is essentially that machine. Add to it the ridiculously good battery life combined with a super efficient processor and you are staring at the near-perfect laptop. Yes, the webcam still seems stuck in time but M1 makes it far better than any other laptop.
As much power as you could need in a light and silent design, with giant battery life. Expect a boost not only in performance but battery efficiency too, with very little trade-off. And whether you should raise your budget to get a MacBook Pro 13 Late should be decided on your daily work routine. Apple Silicon support still needs a little work, but rivals all have compromises versus the Air in terms of performance, price or portability.
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. Note the lack of built-in 4G or 5G as well. Also if you were planning to buy the MacBook Air, then only buy this version as it costs the same as the Intel version.
If you are someone who needs high processing power throughout the day, you will still need the MacBook Pro as any fanless model will come with some limitations. The MacBook Air with the new processor takes everything that was great about the previous generations of MacBook Air and brings it to a whole new level of performance and power efficiency.
There are still some areas for improvement though and stiff competition from the M1 MacBook Pro. Intel's CPUs in recent times haven't been terribly exciting, with only modest improvements in performance year on year. In a way, this has held the MacBook Air and the rest of Apple's portfolio back.
It received some negative feedback for limited design changes compared to previous models, only two available ports, average webcam quality, and no touchscreen availability. The new devices now come with Wi-Fi 6, which is a major improvement over the older Intel-based MacBook devices.
Wi-Fi 6 improves data transfer speeds, provides better performance in crowded areas like offices or malls, and it also helps to improve the battery life of the devices. Both devices also support Bluetooth 5. Powerful performance. Long battery life. Completely silent and cool. Bringing tech to the masses. As I was playing with the Air over the weekend, I wondered to myself, is this a classic?
Could it be up there with the best Macs ever made? It certainly feels like an instant classic. Even my cat loves it. A growing list of 3rd party programs are going universal or native with M1 support. The casing and design for both machines is identical to their Intel predecessors.
And yes, they can run iOS and iPad apps, though that list is short and the experience is challenging without a touch screen.

And yes, they can run iOS and iPad apps, though that list is short and the experience is challenging without a touch screen. 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. And yes, everything you've heard about the new fanless M1 Macbook Air is true.
That's true for Air users, who are usually looking for a sleek, reasonably priced machine that just works, as well as for those who use MacBook Pro laptops, the iMac, the Mac Mini or the Mac Pro for professional design, editing, photography or music work. Right now, only part of the Mac line is switching to Apple silicon. The rest, I'd expect to come sometime in the next year. But it was the right decision. There is not a single reason I can find to want the old Intel version.
Put simply, the new MacBook Air is the best laptop for most people. It comes with new, more powerful, innards, a drastically improved keyboard and more storage space. However, the screen is a little muted and battery life is average. Still, if you're an Apple fan looking for an affordable MacBook, we can heartily recommend the new MacBook Air — something we've not been able to do with previous versions.
Apple is claiming huge speed increases for their M1 Macs, which we'll need to try for ourselves. Apple iPad Apple iPad Pro
