Is this MacBook Air M1 a good deal under 1,000 euros?
The MacBook Air M1 is one of Apple’s best laptops. At less than €1,000, it’s a very good deal. In practice, the Magic Keyboard delivers precise typing. The long stroke of the keys indeed allows a fast typing and the keyboard is generally very pleasant to use. The disappearance of the Touch Bar is not really a problem and Touch ID works perfectly well, and quickly becomes essential. The passive cooling system replaces the fans usually found in laptops. The MacBook is thus perfectly silent.
However, the Apple computer is not free from defects. The built-in webcam only offers 720p resolution. A sufficient image quality, but which does not meet today’s needs, especially when the competition offers much better. Plan to buy an external webcam, only if you need it regularly. The speakers deliver decent sound, but again, external speakers will do a better job. You still have the option of plugging in headphones via the 3.5mm headphone jack. Finally, the autonomy of the MacBook Air M1 is between 10 and 15 hours of use. In the case of intensive use, however, count a little less than 8 hours, enough to keep a good day of classes or work.
