    My first Mac

    Well after years of using PC's, both laptops and desktops, I decided to try this macbook air. My previous laptop was about 3 years old and was working fine. However, I use Adobe lightroom and the denoise function that has been implemented in the last 2 years requires a very powerful GPU. In order to get a laptop with the specs I needed it cost more than this Mac so I decided, why not. I heard good things about the M4 chip, Overall I am very pleased with it. It is very light, fast, and solved my problem. As I was a systems administrator is my past life, adjusting to MacOS took some effort but was pretty easy for me. My main desktop is still a windows PC, only a year old and runs faster so I will not be changing it out for mac right now. Haven't found anything to complain about as it is mainly used for travel. Main PC does the heavy lifting,

    I upgraded my MacBook 2017…. what a time saver. Love the new display, battery life and processor. May look similar but “not your father’s” Mac.

    Overall happy with purchase. Very sleek laptop! This was an unexpected buy, previous laptop was not repairable and I needed a replacement quickly. This MacBook Air is an upgrade for sure, it’s lightweight, graphics are great and battery life is awesome. Super happy with this.

    Good laptop for college and grad students

    Had a MacBook early 2015 before upgrading to the M4. I had to get a new laptop because my screen cracked and it wasn’t worth the price to fix, so I was very hesitant about which model to buy. After a lot of research, m4 seemed like the most economical choice and best investment. I still had my doubts about whether it was worth the price tag, especially since my early 2015 air was working just fine before the crack. However, there definitely is a noticeable difference in the overall function of the computer. (For reference, I upgraded to 512gb storage after having 256gb memory). This laptop runs faster & cleaner, with no issues opening multiple apps, even if one of them involves data analysis. No slowness, no lags, doesn’t heat up quickly, and battery lasts a while. Camera is crazy sharp as well, and moves with you as you move your head on FT, Zoom, teams, or other video conferencing apps. No issues with sound or mic use either on these apps so far. No regrets upgrading to the higher storage option - I desperately needed it and didn’t even know it, so I’d recommend doing that too if you keep getting that “not enough storage” message now. The only con (and annoyance) for me is that the usb ports are all usb-C, so normal flash drives and older phone chargers won’t plug in without an adaptor. I also think it should be cheaper, but that’s my issue with Apple in general lol and I’m hoping it lasts long.

    Very nice looking, not as light as I thought though but the device itself is fast, reliable, battery lasts and that's what I needed. Glad I went for the 512GB.

    I bought this to replace an older MacBook that was always running slowly and over-heating. I was able to transfer everything over to it easily and it’s working well so far. The color is really nice too.

    M4 is a great choice

    This MacBook Air with the M4 chip is excellent. The performance is fast and consistent — apps open instantly, multitasking is smooth, and everything runs efficiently without overheating or fan noise. The 16GB of memory and 512GB SSD provide a solid balance of speed and storage for everyday tasks, creative work, and even heavier workloads. Battery life is impressive — easily lasts a full workday and more. The build quality is what you’d expect from Apple: lightweight, durable, and incredibly sleek. The new Midnight finish looks sharp and professional, though it does pick up fingerprints more than lighter colors. If you’re looking for a reliable, high-performance laptop that’s ready for future AI features, this M4 MacBook Air is a great choice.

    We had a prior MacBook air but with only 256g of storage which we rapidly ran out of. We decided to upgrade and trade in the 256g Mac Air, and are very pleased with this newer model as well as its' color. It is speedy & light.

    My college student wanted to have this computer despite never having owned one before. She studied how to use it and is having a great time using it for her studies and it has definitely facilitated her homework and able to shift screens between her old computer and this new computer! It is a wonderful tool for anyone to use!

    Ordered online from the nearest Best Buy and picked up at a later date. Pickup process was very easy and fast. The computer is Super fast with lots of features I will be thankful for. I especially like the fingerprint password input. I would have paid the extra fee to have all my files, etc., transferred from my old computer to my new computer, but due to available time and the need to make an appointment to do so I opted to do the data migration on my own. Super easy! Just started using it but I think the Apple Intelligence feature will be something that will be a game changer for me.
