    Nothing special. Just another Mac product that traps you into getting new cables because of their "improvements." Just get an HP or something, you'll save a butt load on cable adapters, and adapters for your adapters. God bless Apple.

    More processing for the money. With the M2 processor, you are getting more processing with less battery.

    Very disappointed with this MacAir. I LOVED my MacAir that I bought 10 years ago, but this one is slower and takes too much time to load. It also shows smudges on the screen from opening it up. I wouldn't recommend it.

    The product WAS going to be great, but Best Buy's service SUCKED. Customer Support (over the phone) said I would have 15 days to turn in an Apple device trade-in to get credit. But when I went to pick up the laptop I wasn't allowed to take..even though I paid full price...unless I had the trade-in device. I ended up leaving without the computer and purchased from a different vendor.

    Screen went black at one year. It was used minimally. Apple wanted to charge $600+ to fix.

    I have had this laptop for a little over a month and am already having issues. The screen “shakes” and will turn black out of nowhere but is still running. It’s not the screen saver or in sleep mode because it happens in the middle of using it. Absolute waste of money.

    Solid computer for students!

    This computer was MADE for students. It’s super fast, lightweight, and the battery lasts for hours. My only complaint is the lack of RAM and storage on the base model. As long as you have iCloud storage you’ll be good.

    Tried two of these and couldn’t get them to work properly. Went to Geek counter and they replaced the first one. The second one did allow the tech to get it set up, but then at home, I had to keep changing my password to get it unlocked. So I returned that one too. I must say though that I received a refund quickly. Must be this model.

    A USELESS PAPERWEIGHT

    I bought this to replace a 2014 Macbook Pro. What a huge mistake I made. I mainly use my notebook to work online and work with photo editors like photopad and photoshop. This computer struggles on those programs hugely. While I am trying to do anything on those programs I get the wait sign so I cannot smoothly edit anything. I figured this notebook would handle such basic tasks like photo editing which this fails at. I now feel like I have a $1100 paperweight because this notebook is useless to me since I earn a living online selling products and need to edit every image I shoot. DO NOT BUY THIS IF UNLESS ALL YOU DO IS SURF THE INTERNET BECAUSE IT IS USELESS OTHERWISE. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND FOR STUDENTS ESPECIALLY

    Horrible! The screens Retina display ink visibly streaked vertical lines across side of the screen. And surrounding those lines, the screen changed to a low transparency lilac hue distorting the images on screen. Beware!

    Wouldn't recommend for software development. The screen is too small and if doesn't have enough RAM to do development work on.
