    After using PC for my whole life I wanted to try something new. I’ve been using iPhone and iPad for so many years and I like how perfectly all devices integrate. This laptop is lightweight but powerful for what I use it for. It is very stable and reliable, doesn't heat up, has very quiet operation and provides an amazing battery life. I also partitioned it using in-built BootCamp software to install Windows, just to enable Alt+Tab functionality for when I connect remotely to my office computer through Citrix Receiver. This configuration was an absolute steal during the labor day promotional pricing at $1,149. Didn't think twice before ordering and I must say I am very pleased with my decision so far.

    Great laptop for what I use it for. I use it mainly as my daily driver, with school, some work, and some recording. Doesn't do games or graphics all to well but that is to be expected. I run a few Linux VMs and a Windows VM on it, I record some audio for my gf for her singing and do some light video editing.

    Upgraded from a 2016 MacBook 12”. Loved size of my 12” but lacked real processing power. This new Air with 16/512 is very quick for my basic needs. No problem streaming HD video. Great specs for the Labor Day sale.

    This guy replaced a MacBook Air from 2012. It's smaller, sleeker, and faster. I love the efficiency of the design. One thing, the fingerprint sensor doesn't always work which can be a little annoying.

    lightweight and good performance. I was deciding between this and a macbook pro and thought that 16gb of ram fits my requirements better than a slightly better graphics card for a macbook

    I upgraded to this MacBook Air from 2013 MacBook Pro which worked fine. I was looking at the new MacBook Airs based on specs, portability and price. My concern was the SSD were becoming too expensive. BBY had a special on the late 2018 model for $1149 which had twice the RAM and HD capacity compared to the Mid 2019 models. Definitely worth the money. Users need to be aware that most devices today use USB 2.0 however this Mac uses the new USB 3.0 therefore an adapter will be required to connect your other devices.

    Bought this for myself after I bought another MacBook air for my friend. Pros: very good form factor and of course Mac OS and it's stability. Lots of storage and RAM. Cons: Gets hot and loud when few apps are open including like garage band. Only 2 USB C ports.

    Air is a super computer

    I traded in my MS computers about 5 years ago when support for XP stopped and switched to Apple. My first Apple was a Mac Pro notebook, kept doing the updates until Mojave and everything slowed down. Took a trip to the local Apple store to investigate what my choices could be. I decided on a Mac Air, not much had DVD drives any move, you purchased a license and it was downloaded from ‘the cloud.’ Over Labor Day weekend I saw BB running a sale on the Air, 512Gb SSD HD, 16Gb RAM, the deal was great. Now it’s set up, runs like a supersonic jet running Mojave. There is nothing not to like, and while it only has 2 USB-C ports to keep it slim, there are tools that you can use plugging into the C ports that expand the devices you can connect. Everything works great, got Apple Care. I usually never run on battery, so I can’t comment on battery life but the size of the charger is considerably smaller than the Mac Pro that it’s replacing.

    Let me preface this by saying I own a fully loaded iMac, Fully loaded mac mini, and a fully loaded macbook pro. All used for different reasons and for work. I wanted something for when I get home to sit on the couch and do random things with. The laptop is gorgeous, light and does exactly what is expected of it. I highly recommend it!

    Granddaughter is very happy with it. It is fast and light and since she had apple before it was an easy switch for her. She is very happy with it and knows it will last for 4 years of college. I bought a similar one 2 years ago for my oldest grandson. He too loves the product. Thanks for asking

    I bought this computer for my son who is just starting high school – and full disclosure, I did so because it was a whopping $650 off the $1,799 list price during a Labor Day sale. It has pro level specs including 16 GB RAM and 512 GB flash storage, so will hopefully handle all his needs as he gets older. I did some research online and found out that this model is from December 2018 and was discontinued in favor of a new one that came out in 2019. The December 2018 has the older type of keyboard that has caused some problems in the past, and seems to also have had some issues with a logic board. So far this one seems to be doing fine.
