M3 MacBook air Starlight 8gb ram 256 Gb SSD
This is an amazing laptop. The starlight color does not show any fingerprints and looks really good. The build quality is really solid, light and thin. The screen and speakers look and sound amazing. Yes, the speakers in the 13 inch are really good IMO. I was worried about the 8gb or ram but to be honest it is not an issue at all. I can play games; yes play games and they look really good too on this laptop and do all my personal and work stuff with 0 issues. I have been playing Death Stranding, BioShock and Shadow of the tomb raider. I have also been playing on Xbox game pass with no issues. This is a great super portable laptop that is a joy to use. I screen brightness makes things look really good when watching movies or on YouTube. I do recommend this laptop for work professionals and everyday use. I added a light hardcase from incase to this for protection as you can see in the photo.

My overall rating is high since it exceeds my expectations with the battery life. I upgraded from an intel MacBook Pro and was concerned RAM was going to be an issue with this model. MacOS does well at managing the performance and haven't experienced any moments where I didn't have enough. This device was purchased for web browsing and light financial applications. My opinion about SSD is mutual since a decent internet connection pairs well with my iCloud subscription and don't anticipate an issue this year or next.

Fast and lightweight
Great things do come in small packages! The basic Macbook Air M3 is an amazing machine. I bought it last week from Best Buy and I was surprised by how fast it is with 8 GB of RAM, and how capable it is. I have an adapter attached to the laptop running two monitors (soon to be three) and it handles them without any problems, along with a hub with my two external backup drives and Time Machine. It's very light in weight and so far hasn't gotten hot. If you're looking for a laptop, this is the one.
