The MacBook Air is now not just the best MacBook for your average Apple user, but it's closer to the title of the king of the laptops than it's been in years. Dolby Atmos audio support means that some movies and TV shows will sound even better than before. And, of course, the Magic Keyboard is still here, which provides a comfy typing experience. The MacBook Air's webcam has also been upgraded, as the M1 chip provides signal processing tricks to improve clarity and color accuracy. Plus, the M1 delivers crazy-fast performance, so much so that it can run serious games smoothly. This laptop's 14 hours and 41 minutes of battery life n the Tom's Guide battery test is the best for a MacBook Air ever. Apple's decision to replace its Intel processors with its own Apple Silicon, starting with the M1 chip in the MacBook Air, is reaping serious rewards.

The MacBook Air was always the best MacBook for most people, but now it's better for even more people than ever before.
