I've used MacBooks for over a decade. But it took until the MacBook Air M1 to have a truly life-changing experience with one.
I’ve been using a MacBook as my primary computer for over 10 years. Not the same one, thankfully — I started with an early-generation MacBook Air and went through several iterations of MacBook Pro. I use MacBooks because I’m the most comfortable with MacOS, and I love their designs. But it wasn’t until early this year, when I got my first M1-powered MacBook Air, that I had a truly game-changing no-compromise experience with an Apple laptop.
When did I charge? At any given time, I couldn’t tell you when I last charged my MacBook Air. Seriously. The battery life on the MacBook Air M1 is so good, I don’t even know how long it lasts on a charge — because I’ve never been able to use it continuously long enough to kill it from 100%. Once your laptop’s battery gets to the point of not needing to be charged every day, it’s not even worth trying to keep track of the typical longevity. You just know it’s going to last.
Great battery life has a knock-on effect on charging as well. The power draw is so low that I can easily charge up the MacBook Air M1 with a smartphone’s 30W USB-C charger that’s a fraction of the size of the old 61W Apple bricks. I regularly charge my laptop off of a power outlet in our kitchen that has a couple of low-power USB ports. A little charge here, a little there, and I never have to think about it. This computer rarely hits 100% charge, unless I leave it plugged in overnight.
