The headline feature of this specific MacBook Air is its inclusion of Apple’s own silicon, which marked a departure from the Intel-based Macs of many years prior. This was one of the most vital reasons it garnered a full five-star review and a Recommended badge from our editor Max Parker.
The M1 Air packs inside eight cores, as well as a seven core GPU, complete with 8GB of DDR4 RAM, too. This particular combo allowed it to breeze through both real-world testing and in synthetic benchmarking programs too, with high-riding scores that leapfrogged some of the most powerful Windows-based ultrabooks. If you want a laptop that’ll handle everything from basic web browsing tasks to some of the heavier stuff such as photo editing and video editing.
We also found the M1 Air’s battery life to be good, with a 1080p battery loop testing garnering 12 hours of total runtime, and general use offering between nine and eleven hours, giving you enough juice to last for a working day, and then some. This score is up there with some of the very best laptops we’ve tested, especially ones as powerful as the M1 Air is.
