Research summary
Why it scores 7.7.
Five years old and still the value pick. Across 2 cited sources and 41.800 owner reviews, the Apple MacBook Air 13" M1 rates strongest on build quality and price fairness, and weakest on repairability.
Where it falls short
8 GB base memory is soldered and cannot be changed
Only two Thunderbolt ports and one external display
Five years into its OS support window, so the remaining runway is shorter than a new machine's
