Best MacBook Air I have owned.
This M4 MacBook Air is one of the best laptops I have ever owned. No fan, super fast, reliable, and a great screen. If you have owned a M1 MacBook Air, this is the upgrade to get. If this is your first Mac, you'll love it. I'm especially fond of the keyboard, long batter life and if you plug in an extra monitor, you can still use the screen display on the laptop. Thanks Best Buy for the great price!

Impressive balance between power and portability
I recently purchased the 15-inch MacBook Air, and it has exceeded all my expectations. The design is super thin and light, but with the larger screen, it feels like a true portable workstation. The Liquid Retina display is bright and sharp, perfect for watching videos, editing photos, and working for hours without eye strain. With the Apple M2 chip, everything runs fast and smooth, even with multiple apps open. The battery easily lasts me all day, which is a big plus for remote work. It's also very quiet: no fan, but it never gets too hot. Ideal for students, content creators, or professionals who need performance without carrying a heavy laptop. Highly recommended if you're looking for a powerful, modern, and reliable device.

Absolutely Worth the Upgrade!
I upgraded from my 2015 MacBook Air to the new 2025 MacBook Air, and the difference is incredible. The 15-inch screen feels huge thanks to the thin bezels, and the display quality makes everything from work to streaming look stunning. The keyboard is the perfect size, with a smooth feel and backlighting that’s great for late nights. I also love the oversized trackpad it makes navigation effortless. Despite the larger screen, the laptop is still lightweight and sleek. It almost looks like a MacBook Pro but remains thinner and more portable. Performance is lightning fast, and when the battery runs out, it powers back on within seconds once plugged in, so I can get right back to work! One feature is the ability to mirror and control my iPhone directly from the laptop it’s super convenient for multitasking. Apple’s build quality and reputation for long lasting devices give me confidence this will easily last a decade. Yes, the price is an investment, but the speed, design, and features make it absolutely worth it. If you’re thinking about upgrading, don’t hesitate this MacBook Air is the perfect balance of power and portability.
