First mac ever
Of all the laptops I've used, this is the best so far. Lightweight, powerful, good speakers, amazing battery life. Finally understand what people were talking about. Switching over from windows is an adventure. Bear in mind that if you muck up the initial setup and try to wipe and start from scratch, you should have a usb-c to ethernet adapter on hand in case you run into the no-wifi bug...which I did. Aside from that, only thing I'd like to change is now slippy the feet on the bottom are. Might need to add something grippy to them to keep the thing from sliding around so much. So for everyone getting tired of Windows as I did, and who wants something truly portable, this is a fantastic choice.

Fast, sleek design and just works.
I've been using Windows gaming laptops for years and still do, but I wanted something for more casual use with long battery life. I do Lightroom edits for my Nikon Z8 and other cameras, and the Air can handle all that without breaking a sweat. The 15-inch size is perfect, and I love that I can use this laptop in bed and not have to worry about covering any vents, as the Air is fanless. Also, if there's something you don't like about macOS, you can be sure that there's an app that will allow you to customize it to your liking.
