Absolutely love using this
Beautiful product, very happy with the performance with 24gb RAM. Smooth performance editing RAW photos without much heating up in long editing sessions, and the 15” display is the perfect size for the job. Super slim and tough. I applied an invisible skin that adds protection against scratches and prints that showcases the beautiful design without the possibility of damage that comes with hard shell cases Battery life is also amazing, even with the screen at full brightness editing RAW. I recommend with any device to never overcharge so the battery stays as healthy as possible!

Love this MacBook Air!
Graphics and speed is amazing. Had trouble loading the Microsoft 365 but only due to having it on a previous MacBook. Fingerprint security is a cool feature.
