Customer Ratings & Reviews

I started college around a year ago and I was in need of a computer. I started off with a Chromebook and it was great, but unfortunately the online programs I was taking weren’t supported on my Chrome. I had to look for a replacement ASAP, but I wanted to spend my money on a computer that would be worth it in the long run. Like I previously said I am also a college student so I didn’t want to spend all of my money on one electronic, but after careful consideration I decided it would be best to buy a MacBook. Trust me when I say I DO NOT regret my decision. Along with its amazing features, it works perfectly with my online programs, it’s lightweight, and had a long lasting battery (which is very much needed in a 5 hour long night class)

I wasn’t sure about this purchase and thought I made a mistake and should of gotten the newest model that came out in December, but glad I didn’t. This MacBook is great. I find the speed to be fast, and some complain about the fan noise but haven’t had any issues with it. Also the battery life is great. I am still learning how to use it, but for my first MacBook coming from a P.C, I am happy with it.

So much like everything it has it's good and bad things. All reviews I've read on this laptop are all 5 stars saying how great but no REAL reasons.. I do think it's a great laptop.I've only had it for about a week but does what I need. Here are a few goods and bads about it. My first bad important thing is the battery, for the money, to ME it's not great. It was at 100% at 9AM and around 3:30PM (that SAME day) it was at 5% warning me to please charge. Understanding, I'm working from home (due to the virus which I work in an office environment) I'm not working with crazy programs but sure, I've got a few things going at once. Maybe MY expectations were higher especially with it being the price and make/model it is I expected more. In all.. yes it works, does it well but be sure to have your charging cord with it which I'll add is quite long for Apple - in my opinion. :) Be aware this model only comes with 1 headphone port (which isn't flat like the new iPhones are coming..?..and 2 thunderbolt ports 1 of which is your plug in to charge your computer.., myself I bought a multi adapter that gives me extra ports. From my research, MOST computers seem to be coming this way even if it's regular USB either way - something to take note of. No disc drive either which for most people I'd imagine that's fine again, a lot don't seem to come with this anymore. Touch ID - This feature is a blessing and a curse LOL So everything now a days seems to have some sort of save password feature so this isn't odd and once everything is set up for normal use, LIFE SAVER! However! I've found I still need to keep and updated and handy list of information because everything is saved.. when you need to manually log in (which it still allows you to use it however YOU see fit) I'm not going through hoops to reset or find my info to actually log in. I like when you open the computer it turns on and boots up fast. Couple mins and I'm ready to work! The keys feels nice and it's backlit. So yes.. overall, it WILL do what you want. Everything has it's good and bad features. I'd still recommend it.

Apple computer's by far are the best in the market for those who are already within the Apple ecosystem, however even for those who don't have many other Apple products or use many Apple services, the MacBook Air is still a really good laptop for those looking to do things such as work related things such as making presentations, working on docs, doing school work, etc. it can handle light photo editing and video editing, however the fan will go off which is pretty loud at times. If you are considering something for editing photos and videos and doing work that is more on the heavy-duty spectrum, I would recommend either taking a look at an intel-based MacBook Pro, or try checking out Apple's brand new M1 based MacBook's, which are significantly faster than this Intel-based laptop, due to the fact that M1 is a chip developed by Apple themselves, and if ultimately gives them better control over performance due to the fact Apple of course makes their own software, MacOS. The speakers on this unit are really good and loud, I was surprised, for laptop speakers they are pretty good because they have a really nice stereo sound to them, the bass is decent. As for the display, it is pretty average, nothing too special, it is colorful but blacks could be deeper, feels a little washed out. Overall, a good laptop for the average consumer, however if you are looking for something high-end check out something like the intel-based MacBook Pro, or Apple's M1 MacBook Air or Pro

Love my new MacBook Air! It's so light and easy to carry around and works super-fast. Of course I don't like the fact that it doesn't have USB ports anymore and you have to buy an adapter for that, but that's Apple for you. Their motto should be "We have an adapter for that." LIke the different colors, too. I wanted the rose gold but they were out and I needed it fast, so I got the charcoal gray. Very nice.

SUPER LIGHT, I love the size perfect for school and traveling. Very fast and inexpensive.

I’m going to buy one for the whole family! Light weight and easy to use! Carry it anywhere! My son does his school work obit daily! Charge really fast. Hold charge for a long time! I like the finger touch access! Has a lot of updated material on MacBook. If you something that works comparable with your school work plus pleasure work, this is a great idea! I’m going to go and work on my new MacBook now!

excellent and easy to set up and use. compatible with phone for email and messages and just about all apple phone applications. sleek design and lightweight. wish I could use old charger but this is a minor detail. speed is fast and lighted keyboard is a game changer for late night computer work. opens with Apple Watch and fingerprint offers added security. I would recommend and I would buy again.

Fast, easy to use, light weight laptop. The 13" 256GB is perfect for every day tasks.

when i ordered my laptop online for curbside pickup during covid-19, the support staff made it such a simple and easy process. they helped me every step of the way to get my device and transfer it to me safely. however, my laptop screen is now having display issues 4 years later which is surprising since i've never had any problems with my other macbook laptops. i'm unsure why its suddenly having problems with the screen when it is in perfect condition otherwise.

Light weight, easy to take it with you .love the color and the thumb turn on button

The Apple Macbook Air (i3) is a great computer for college. It can handle writing programs, notes and other various applications well. The Touchpad is particularly nice and useful, which I did not at all expect. The size of the computer is very nice, and can easily be transported. The only "negative" I have to say is that it tends to get hot and run the fan when you run a bigger application (for example, Minecraft; I had to change the graphics settings to help the computer out a bit). The fan turned on very quickly after I launched the app. But this is understandable, since it is only an i3. Advice: If you want to run some bigger programs, opt for a better interior processor.

Great fast reliable computer looks nice easy to operate I definitely Recommend.

I had my last MacBook Air for 6 years, and it was so reliable and user-friendly. I bought this one to get me through medical school. I use it for many hours each day, and it works very well. I appreciate the long battery life, the light weight, and the sleek design. I would definitely recommend it!

Love these MacBooks at this price. Easy to use, light and quick.

This is an excellent laptop for most of the home needs. It is fast for online browsing, photo editing, music, and desktop publishing. I have not used for other software applications. It runs fast, is lightweight and sync's up with all my other apple devices. The color is great. I purchased a USB adapter for connectivity. The office applications suite works really well.

Compact, fast, easy to use, and good battery life Gotta love Apple

I received this new MacBook Air two days ago and am so impressed by: 1. speed 2. solid touch keyboard 3. touch ID key 4. light weight 5. speaker sound, very clear Wasn't sure about the Thunderbolt plug ins, and needed a USB docking unit to run my printer. Also, wonder why there is an older type headphone round plug in vs the flat ones that came with my new iPhone and iPad?

What an awesome notebook! Sleek, lightweight & fast! I purchased the base model but boy is it an upgrade from my last laptop! I'm socking away money for when they introduce a better camera and possibly touchscreen, but I'm happy! I'm switching from Windows but a lot of the shortcuts work on Mac. Once you go Mac, you never go back! I don't know why it took me so long!

Overall, the laptop is great. The computer does almost everything you want to, but the camera is not the best quality and is a little blurry. 720p is not the best, but will get you through zoom calls or class. If you go on zoom, the i3 processor can not handle zoom virtual backgrounds, so you have to stick with your normal background. The laptop works really well other than that and the touch id is an easy way to sign in. The battery life is great so far, but I've only used it for a month and a half now. It is nicer than some other laptops out there, but it is a bit on the pricier side.
