Im used to using the Macbook Pro series, so went with a higher RAM rig with the 2024 Air I bought, and this thing is like trying to harness lightning ... Super smooth between apps, classic Macbook feel, and super lightweight. Still only takes one hand to open too. Great job, Me ...

This MacBook Air is fantastic for daily tasks. The M4 chip is very efficient and the 24GB of RAM makes multitasking a breeze. The Sky Blue color is subtle and elegant. Battery life is excellent as well. Only reason for 4 stars is that I wish it had one more port.

I love this MacBook Air! It’s light, thin and fast! I’ve had for about 2 months and it has been perfect. It does everything that I need it for. The battery last longer than my last MacBook!

I changed my old MacBookPro with this new version of MacBook Air, the difference is very important considering speed, duration of batteries and the delay when you open the laptop.

I really like this Macbook Air for its portability and light weight. The only issue I had with it was when I tried to hook it up to the LG 32U990A-S 6K monitor, the laptop wouldn't recognize the monitor even though it prompted to connect to it (the monitor wouldn't show up on the list of Displays). The cause was the Thunderbolt cable that came with the LG monitor. Once I switched to the Apple Thunderbolt cable, the Macbook Air was able to display onto the monitor! At first, I thought it was because the Macbook Air supports only Thunderbolt 4, but the monitor supports Thunderbolt 5. But that wasn't the reason because Thunderbolt 5 is backwards compatible with Thunderbolt 4.
Another plus: the sky blue color! Can't get this color with the Macbook Pro.

I have owned Apple computers and devices for years, so I can compare this laptop's performance against past MacBook Air generations. The processor in this computer is lightyears better than the old Intel in my 2020 MaBook Air. Internet surfing is very fast. My Internet browsers can handle having many tabs running without any issues. iMovie also works without making this computer struggle. (I often create and edit videos using iMovie. My previous MacBook Air would struggle to run iMovie. This new laptop has no issues running the software.)
Another aspect of this new laptop I am very please with is the process for transferring my files and apps from my old computer to this new one. In past generations of the MacBook Air, I would run into problems transferring everything over. I always backup my most important files, so I was prepared for complications, but this time everything transferred over to my new computer with minimal fuss. The transfer works through Wifi. I only needed my computer password and my Apple ID and password. The transferring process took no more than an hour.
The laptop itself is beautiful. Just like my previous laptop, the keyboard feels good and durable. I am very pleased with the return of the magnetized power cord. I missed this feature in the last generation of the MacBook--the magnet connection helps eliminate the struggle of finding the correct port to plug in the cord.
Overall, this laptop keeps all the positive features of past Apple computers and includes improvements that might seem small but make a real difference. I look forward to years of good service from this machine!

Great portable laptop plus it is pretty light. Battery has been great too. This is my travel laptop and it is so much better than the top of the line 2020 MacBook Air it replaced. Getting it open box nice too.

This laptop is light weight compared to the previous model. I love the idea of being able to use your finger print to login as it makes it more personalized. Its portability is very useful for use in the classroom and for travel. Your shoulder won't hurt from its light weight. My daughter loves the applications and the ease in its use.

I recently picked up the new MacBook Air M4 (24GB/512GB) in Starlight from Best Buy, and I couldn't be happier. The laptop handles everything I throw at it with ease, and the 24GB of memory makes multitasking seamless. The Starlight finish looks stunning in person.
A huge shoutout to the Best Buy team as well—the point-of-sale experience was smooth, quick, and professional. Highly recommend both the laptop and the cascade station, OR best buy store...

Awesome machine - fast, powerful, lightweight, and blows away my 5-year old MacBook Pro (that recently died). Got it for a great price from Best Buy during their Black Friday sale.

Pretty cool Mac Book! Super light weight and fast. Beginner friendly as well!

Bought a few months ago to replace a 5-yr old Razer laptop that had an end of life battery. The MacBook is definitely lighter and easier to carry to class. (But older laptop was built for gaming anyways so not really equal comparison.)
Great battery life and love the compatibility with iPad and other iOS apps. Would recommend!

The M4 with 24GB ram is a beast of a machine. There is zero lag in running heavy workflows and one of the best for office work. Strongly recommend this
