Amazing product!
I bought this Laptop a few months ago and absolutely love it! It has so many great features and it is very easy to use. I have used it to run my business, do schoolwork for college, and for my own personal use. It has far exceeded my expectations everytime I have used it! It is lightweight, has very fast speeds despite me having slow WiFi, amazing graphics and visuals, and you have the option to download other drivers to run different operating systems such as windows (I am running windows 11, opera gx, and the base operating system) as I said it far exceeded my expectation and came at a reasonable price considering!

First experience with best buy and Macbook
I had a good experience buying this directly from the store, the salesperson that helped me was also a very good guy. However, after coming home with the 8/512 version with 15" display, I felt like I should have gone for 16/512 with 13" display for the same price. I was thinking to exchange later on, but nevermind, I will buy a new version of mac after 1,2 years. For now, it meets my need. But even after using it for over 2 weeks, I am still having some difficulties to use it properly, since I had been using ubuntu for over 3 years.

M3 is a real one
It’s a beautiful Laptop from Apple! I had it 3 months already and I love everything in it! Too fast, too good quality, no issues at all and things that I don’t like! The battery seems like never will go down!
