Customers love the large screen size, impressive performance, and long battery life of the MacBook Air 15-inch laptop. Its lightweight design and ease of use are also frequently praised. While some users wish for more RAM and additional ports, minor concerns about fingerprint visibility on the casing are noted.
Im currently a CS student and my needs vary from assignment to assignment. I usually need 30 tabs plus to complete some projects and I thought 8gbs of RAM was not going to cut it. I stand corrected as the M3 silicon chip is the quickest and optimized pipeline processor I have seen at this price point. The battery life lasts all day on a single charge and the weight of the this laptop makes it easy for travel and work. In my opinion if you need something more powerful than this laptop youre better off buying a desktop and using this laptop to virtual machine to it because this MBA 3 is extremely capable!

I bought my 15-inch MacBook Air M3 in Starlight from Best Buy back in august, and it’s already the perfect laptop for college. The M3 chip makes everything feel smooth and fast, from juggling research tabs and video calls to editing presentations. The 15-inch display offers plenty of room for multitasking, and the battery life is impressive because I can use it all day without charging it. Plus, the slim, stylish design slips right into my bag, and Touch ID makes logging in and buying textbooks online hassle-free. Best Buy’s staff was helpful and made the entire purchase experience smooth. Overall, I definitely would recommend the Macbook Air M3 15 inch for any college student who needs a laptop!

Love this computer. The keys are smooth and soft and response time is quick. I love the bigger screen it allows me to have multiple windows open at once, which is great for school, work, and multitasking as well as entertainment purposes. The bigger screen is worth it because the laptop is still light and slim. 10/10 recommend, whether it’s work time or family movie night! Battery life is also long lasting.
