    My daughter Love's her MacBook Air

    The computer is stylish and seems to be faster than our desktop computer. It is portable, lightweight, and great for students. I think the camera could be of better quality and I also wish Apple would drop the 13.3 and start at 14 inches. Screens are way too small in my opinion. All and all I'm happy with this product, because I see it's being well used. However, these Apple products are way too expensive.

    I love this laptop! This is thing and light, the color is gorgeous, the sound is okay, and the display is great. I love the addition of the touch to enter , makes it one step easier to get into my laptop. Overall it’s great and works okay with final cut pro. If you are looking to use it for that , i would go up in storage for sure or go for a different model, it makes it run slower than it should.

    The MacBook Air is the best laptop that I have ever owned. It is very light and easy to use. Yes, this laptop is very expensive, but it’s worth every penny. The speakers are loud and clear, and the screen Is nice and clear. Also, it has great battery life and having the touch ID scanner is a plus. However, the only downfall is that it scratches easily, so I recommend getting a case or cover for it.

    COVID19 hit and I had to switch to online meetings for my personal training sessions. I do small group in the morning and one-on-one the remainder of the day. This has been the most reliable computer I have ever used as far as staying connected to my home wifi. Easy to use. Excellent size and weight. Extremely fast.

    Well, it’s a MacBook Air...

    This MacBook Air is a good computer. That’s all it is though - Good. The 2019 MacBook Air is just a general refresh of the 2018 Model with a few key differences. The first difference is True Tone display. It’s a technology that’s nice to have but it isn’t essential. Truth be told, you’re not missing too much here so if you opt for last years model which should be cheaper now, you’re ok. The last change is with the keyboard. Apple has once again tweaked the keyboard for better ingress protection to prevent any keyboard issues. So far I’ve had none, but we will see how this goes long term. Everything else remains the same - the processor, GPU, Configurations and all of that. This is not a bad thing though. This computer is great at day to day tasks and is super fast. It can handle multiple tasks at once and has the smoothness that MacOS is known for - you click it and it’s there. Needless to say, this machine would be great for students and light to medium users. The battery life is great and general performance is good, but power users should look to the MacBook Pro. Video editing and heavy photoshop can be ehhh with the iGPU. Of course, you do have external solutions, if the i5 is sufficient for you. Overall, it’s a great computer. I didn’t have a good experience with it due to some hardware issues but I can wholeheartedly say it’s a great product. It’s also good on the earth, too as it is made out of 100% recycled aluminum.

    Purchased the Apple MacBook Air and love it. I love the color of space gray. The speed is great and is very light. Much lighter than my old iPad Pro. The colors intensity if fine and battery lasts a long time. I use it just for pictures, social media, emails and selling mdse I am still learning all the features but so far so good.

    It’s super light weight so it’s easy to carry from class to class, and doesn’t lag. The charge holds for long time and doesn’t take too long to charge. I love the fingerprint sign in too! A minor downside is how loud the fan can get every now and then. Other than that I love this laptop!

    The MacBook Air is marketed as the "entry level" apple laptop for quite some time now, but let that not fool you, as a longtime application developer I can attest that this little sub-notebook can handle a lot more that it looks. You get several goodies, a lit keyboard, retina display, 2 USB-C ports, extremely lightweight and beautifully made. The only thing that could be bothersome for some is the Hard Drive capacity and speed, it has a 128GB internal, non-replaceable SSD drive, and 8GB of non-replaceable RAM, most of everything right now is on the cloud anyway, so drive space becomes less of a concern, and 8GB is usually more than enough for today's applications and such. Overall very happy with this purchase, and also happy not to have to contend with virus or other mostly windows-only nuisances.

    Light weight, easy to set up and use. Perfect for college! I use it for simple Microsoft use, the programs loads quick, and have not had any issues so far. Of course, if you need to save a lot of programs and documents I would suggest the bigger gb size, but if it’s just for basic use the 128 gb works great.

    This is a great computer for the everyday user who doesn’t want to tug around a brick. Size, weight and feel of the laptop is amazing. I can get a full day without even using a charger which is rare for me. I was debating the Air or Pro but this one gets the job done and more.

    Got this as a gift for my mother. She's a business woman and needed something that's portable and quick. The macbook air was perfect. It's mainly used for sending emails, writing reports, typing up contracts, using social media, and watching videos here and there. The price is high for what it will be used for but at least it holds it's value in the long run. Main downside of this product is the storage. 128G is less than what I have in my phone right now. I guess I'll have to invest in an external ssd :/

    Never have I ever purchased an Apple laptop. My previous laptop was sluggish and finally decided to purchase a new one. I tried borrowed one for the night and was easily sold. The compact, thin design, quiet keypad, fast processor and iMac compatibility made me an Apple user in a heartbeat. Touch ID aid fast, easy and convenient. Newer laptop power charge is not compatible with previous (unless you purchase adapter). Lighting speeds and I love everything about it. I now own the IMac and Mac Airbook

    I bought this for one of my daughters because they use the same model in school and it’s fantastic. Yes, this by far is not the most powerful MacBook made and yes, you are probably paying a little more for “Apple” but it’s worth it. The entire Apple ecosystem works so well together and makes everything so seamless that it’s amazing. Very fast, very reliable, great battery and very portable. I use both PC’s and Mac’s in my professional life but in my personal life I strictly use mac’s. While there are some pc’s specific programs and needs that necessitate having a PC for work my Mac handles 99.0%+ of my personal needs, needs and it easily handles them. This MacBook Air will do the job for most people, in fact it’s way more powerful for what most people need. If your looking for a portable machine that will last and you found it.

    I have been a long time Apple user and it was time for a new MacBook as I had used my old one for 8 years. I have waited 3 months to give my review to see if my opinion changed. I am in love with my new MacBook it is so well built and just down-right sexy. It is super thin and light weight. The intel Core i is so fast. The graphics on the new MacBook are beyond amazing. I use this for work, school (I am in medical school), and I use it for some gaming. I love the touch ID too it is so much faster than having to type in a code to access your laptop. This was worth every penny. I got a great deal at Best Buy and I also purchased their tech support. So happy with this purchase!

    This light-weight, sleek computer is perfect as a school computer. It’s fast, easy to use, and appealing to the eye. I like the fact that the keyboard is sunk into the computer to help keep it clean and free of dust.

    I thought I wouldn’t love it, not having used a mac in 10 years but after 2 days I’m in love! The touchid is AWESOME and much easier that typing in a pin/password every time I need to log in. Startup is very fast and having all my devices synced is super helpful (notes/calendar/etc) its lightweight and portable and the battery is quite long-lasting that I’ve seen so far! I love the USB C charging rather than the previous mag chargers I’d used on my previous MacBook (the white one from 2008). It has played my Sims 4 at the same rate my old windows laptop did and I haven’t noticed any stuttering or lag (I’m not expecting console graphics or anything). I would highly recommend this computer!

    Yes... I know.... I can get a windows laptop with better specs for the same price as the MacBook Air!!!! But it's not a MacBook though!!!! Coming from a 2009 MacBook Pro, which still runs really fast to this day, I just couldn't be comfortable using a windows laptop... I've tried the Acer nitro 5, Acer Predator 300, Hp envy x360 and HP spectre x360 ( which is a very awesome windows laptop by the way ) it just didn't feel the same. It also didn't help that I'm pretty much fully invested in the Apple Eco sys. So far my experience with the MacBook Air is pretty awesome.... yea it's not as "fast" as the MacBook Pro but c'mon be honest, majority of the people getting the MacBook Pro won't be editing any photos or videos it's just going to be for basic everyday use. Anyways it's pretty quick for a dual core Y series, touchpad is beyond great.... no windows laptop can ever come close. Sound is amazing for a 13 inch. Also, it let's me get the newest MacBook laptop that doesn't have the touch bar... sorry but I just don't like it... imagine that thing breaking on you...call me old school I don't care. So if you want to get the MacBook Pro go for it!! but if you want to save some money, no Touch Bar and get a MacBook that will fit majority of needs for everyday use get the MacBook air. Oh, don't even worry about "future proofing" my ancient 2009 MacBook Pro still runs faster than some of the budget windows laptop out there... you'll be okay with this one. =) I almost forgot... Best Buy will bundle match the apple promo. Buy a MacBook and get the beats studio 3 wireless for free... well the Best Buy that I went to does.
