    First Mac I’ve ever owned. Coming over from Windows I’m blown away by how well it performs, the battery life, the display, just everything is amazing. If you are on the fence about purchasing one just do it. No regrets here at all.

    Had this for a year & no issues! As a student with a creative major and three science minors, I have a lot (as in dozens) of tabs across several windows open at all times, plus fancy Adobe apps, plus Spotify, plus Word & other programs all at once and it doesn’t slow down in the slightest. I don’t know a lot about computers, all I can tell you is it functions phenomenally despite the chaos I put it through. The touch ID is so helpful, it’s got very loud speakers and clear sound, and the image is crisp, clear, and color accurate. I’m sure this’ll last me a very long time.

    This MacBook Air is replacing my older Air from 2011 vintage. So in computer years, I was using a dinosaur. You can imagine my surprise/shock at the new to me screen colors and graphics, the super fast processor, and increased memory. I purchased the new MacBook using Best Buy's Upgrade+ program.It made the new Mac super affordable for my budget. Check into that if you're in the market for a new computer.

    This MacBook is fast and has a great 500 nit screen. For me, 8GB RAM is more than enough as I just browse the web, read the news, watch Youtube and access my Etrade account. The battery is amazing, I get 12+ hours of usage with the screen set to roughly 75% brightness. Nice to have Touch ID as well. Great keyboard and comfortable glass trackpad. A++

    After struggling with the work arounds of making my iPad Air into mini computer, I decided to finally make the upgrade and get an actual computing device. I haven't been disappointed and I almost feel bad for the amount of time that I've been using my new MacBook Air over my iPad and my phone. It's been working for everything that I need as a 2nd year engineering student as I program with C++ and works to keep my work and school documents organized. My only regret is that I didn't buy this sooner! I'll likely be upgrading to a different amount of storage capabilities later on down the road, but that could take a while.
