Apple - MacBook Air 15-inch Laptop - M3 chip Built for Apple Intelligence - 16GB Memory - 512GB SSD - Midnight

The M3 15 inch air is an upgrade for me from an M1 13 inch air. I was a bit concerned the size of the 15 inch might be awkward to work with as I sometimes work at my desk, sometimes on the couch on my lap, and sometimes in bed on my lap! But I have been pleasantly surprised that it does not feel too big at all! I really like having the expanded screen space. The M1 8GB (bought in 2020), was and still is a workhorse. I still use that one when I travel somewhere only because I don’t want to risk taking the new one. I bought the M3 air because the M1 air did not have enough room to run all the apps I need to run simultaneously (Zoom, PhotoShop, Chrome, Slack, etc). The M3 is sweet! I am loving the speed and it runs all my apps smoothly. The camera is also an upgrade for Zoom meetings. I work full time, fully remote, so Zoom meetings are essential. I was also concerned that there is not the slight tilt on this model. It’s completely flat. After using it for a few weeks, I find it to be a non-issue. It does get a few more fingerprints on the midnight blue than on my M1 silver model, but Apple has improved that issue with the midnight color. I am not noticing too many fingerprints, so that is not a bother. I love the midnight blue color. Overall I am thrilled with this model. The extra screen space, the speed, the memory. An excellent choice and glad I took the leap.

I purchased the 15-inch MacBook Air from Best Buy last month, and it has exceeded my expectations in every way. This model strikes a perfect balance between performance, design, and portability. The larger 15-inch Liquid Retina display is a game-changer—vibrant colors, sharp details, and ample screen real estate make multitasking and media consumption incredibly immersive. Despite its size, the laptop remains incredibly lightweight and easy to carry around, thanks to its iconic thin design. Powered by Apple’s M2 chip, the performance is outstanding. Whether I’m working on multiple tabs, streaming high-definition videos, or running demanding applications, the MacBook Air handles it all seamlessly. Battery life is phenomenal, lasting a full day with ease, which is perfect for long study sessions or workdays. The keyboard and trackpad maintain Apple’s industry-leading standards, offering a comfortable and responsive experience. The sound quality from the six-speaker system is surprisingly rich for a laptop this thin, making it ideal for music and video playback. Best Buy provided a smooth shopping experience, and I got a great deal on the laptop. This MacBook Air is worth every penny, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a premium, powerful, and portable machine.

When I bought my MacBook, Best Buy staff were extremely helpful with the information and specs for the MacBook, and the leasing to buy process. I was also offered deals and promotions for my MacBook from the very start of checkout. I started leasing to own this MacBook Air M3 almost 2 months ago. This thing is the most incredible laptop I’ve used so far! Not to mention that it’s the first MacBook I’ve ever used. I’ve had HP’s, Dell’s, Chromebooks before, and they were nothing like the experience I’ve gotten with the MacBook I’m using today. The 512 gb version gives you a ton of storage to use for your files. The 16 gb of ram, arguably the norm for today’s laptops, runs smoothly, with perfect precision, and speed. I love this MacBook and all of its amazing features. I hope to be able to continue using MacBooks, as they’re so much easier for me to use for work and school than a windows laptop was. The only downside is the dark color of the Midnight MacBook Air. The fingerprints are evident on both the inside and outside of the MacBook, plus the keyboard keeps leaving an imprint of itself on my screen. The 35W charging brick that it came with was so slow, it took 4 hours to charge to full. I ended up buying a 96W charging brick that charged the MacBook Air to full in an hour and a half (Both times from about 5% battery left). It also lacks an HDMI port, which I had to buy a separate $35 HDMI to USB-C cable to connect my MacBook to one monitor at 4K resolution. The battery life also lasts pretty long compared to most other computers and laptops that are everyday use. I can’t say the same for gaming laptops, since they’re pretty much optimized to last longer than everyday use ones. Other than that, short answer is, I’m satisfied with the quality of my purchase!
