    Yessiree!!! Just bought one about two weeks ago. Got it for $699 from Walmart. M1 MBA 8GB RAM & 256GB SSD. Literally just got it bc my wife has an M2 and I’ve been job hunting and can’t really do much applying or resume editing from my iPhone 15 Plus. Also, I haven’t used a laptop since my college days. And to add this to my current Apple Ecosystem came at the right time. Love how seamlessly it works with my iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods Pro. I don’t know why I went too long without getting a MacBook, but I’m glad I did now specially with the price drop 😎 Highly recommend this MacBook if you’re looking for a entry level computer.

    I Have my MacBook Pro max M1, and a MacBook Air M2 and the little rose gold m1 kept staring at me from the counter in Bestbuy, I couldn't help myself, and on a sale I bought it. To me it's the nicest looking style Mac I have ever owned. and Matt is right for 90% of the stuff I do, it's more than enough for me. it runs fast and reliabley. I'll keep it till the wheels fall off. which on Macs is usually about 7 or 8 years for me.

      Two things are true simultaneously:

      2- 8 gb it’s enough for 95% of people that don’t do professional video editing (most people)

    Hello Matt, Thank you for the information. This is very helpful and interesting. This would be a good option for a computer for me. I can still plan on saving for an upgraded computer later. Then this would be a great backup computer. Or I could use this for traveling, and other portable reasons. This would be safer to take on the go. I think this would be a good investment if the owner has a family with kids or students. Great demonstration including the accessories that can make this device even more efficient.
    I still have laptop cooling fans to set the computer on from the early 2000’s. Thank you 🫶🏻

    I’m a graphic designer and the m1 with 8gb of ram runs my programs with minimal issues. I use all the adobe suite applications and have many tabs open when I’m designing something and I don’t have many slowdowns at all. The M1 chip is still very fast and the m1 machines like the MacBook Air , iMac and Mac mini are great prices today for those who want a fast machine on a deal.
