    I recently purchased the Apple MacBook Air 13.6-inch with the M2 chip from Best Buy, and I couldn't be happier with both the product and the service. The MacBook Air itself is incredibly sleek, powerful, and delivers excellent performance for everyday tasks and creative work. The M2 chip makes everything run smoothly, from multitasking to video editing, all while maintaining impressive battery life. Best Buy's customer service was top-notch. The staff were knowledgeable, helped me choose the right model, and answered all my questions with patience. The checkout process was seamless, and they even assisted with setting up the device. If you're in the market for a new laptop, I highly recommend both the MacBook Air and purchasing from Best Buy for their outstanding service and support.

    With the M1 and now M2 processors Apple brings excellent performance to their entry level MacBooks. The Retina Display is less bright than on a MacBook Pro, but entirely more than adequate indoors. Build quality and design are typically Apple; the best. Chose your storage and ram carefully because they are not upgradable and you can keep a MacBook for years before it feels dated.

    The MacBook Air with the M2 chip is an absolute powerhouse in a sleek, lightweight body. It handles multitasking and coding with ease. The midnight color gives it a premium look, and the battery life is unbeatable – easily lasts a full day. The Retina display is super crisp, and macOS runs buttery smooth. Great choice for students, creatives, or anyone on the go. Highly recommend!

    Got this MacBook Air for my daughter and she loves it! She uses it for school, watch her movies and shows, homework,etc The color and size are my favorite thing, the battery life is also really good and it’s compact so it fits almost in every bag. Not heavy at all, and the display is super clean.

    Very happy with my new computer. It is very fast, lightweight, lots of great features. I wasn’t sure going from a Mac Book Pro to a Mac Book Air M 2, but it offers everything and more. The computer was on sale at a great price this helped to convince me to get the latest Air M 2. This model is fully updated. I find I get everything done faster. I would buy it again.

    I wanted to get a MacBook, primarily to use for programming and Mac comparability. My last apple was a 2012 MacBook Pro, and was my daily driver until I switched back to PC only around 2015. I have seen a lot on the new Apple silicon, and know it's pretty good, so I wasn't feeling too worried about getting something that wasn't worth it. But it turns out, I am very disappointed with this purchase. Even though I have a spec'd out top of the line gaming laptop with a Ryzen 9 7000 series processor and an NVIDIA 4090, I really regret not getting the MacBook Pro again. Don't get me wrong, this Macbook air is great, with spectacular battery life, a great screen. The OS is as always very responsive and easy to navigate and use. What makes me regret it is that if this thing is this good with the M2 chip, I can't imagine how amazing the MacBook Pro with the M2 Pro or M2 Max must be. If you are looking for a great Mac for basic everyday use, browsing the web, listening to music (the speakers are fabulous!), doing most anything really, and want to keep it very affordable, this is the way to go. But if you are on the fence and can afford it, I'd say skip this and get the Pro or Max so you don't have to "suffer" like me.

    Amazing Upgrade

    Upgraded my wife's old Macbook Pro (2017) to this Air M2 and this thing is just a beast. Night and day difference in performance, mostly in every day tasks. Boots up quick, going through apps and menus is lightning fast, and the screen is a huge improvement. Although it's only 13.6" and the Air model, this thing is very well built and large, sturdy, and not at all too thin or flimsy like previous Air models. This was a great price when we picked it up, and well worth the upgrade. Makes every day tasks and work much easier and smoother to work with, navigation is a breeze and no more hitches, lags, or load times. The Midnight Blue color is also awesome, wasn't aware they made colored Macbooks until this and its beautiful. Would definitely recommend the M2 Air for anyone looking at a more budget friendly option that is still a very high performer.

    This is a great laptop. It is very lightweight and does not seem to radiate an extreme amount of heat. The keyboard is lit which is a nice feature. the screen size is just right also. Overall i am pleased with the purchase and my shopping experience with Best Buy in general. Looking forward to utilizing this new purchase for a podcast .business

    Great laptop, truly remarkable for what it’s worth. It delivers exceptional performance. The 8-core CPU, with 4 high-performance cores and 4 high-efficiency cores, is noticeably faster than the M1 chip, offering around 18% better CPU performance. This means everyday tasks like browsing, word processing, and media consumption are quicker, and more demanding applications like photo and video editing run seamlessly. You can expect up to 18 hours of video playback, which is more than enough for a full day of work or a long flight.

    Apple keeps progressing forward. Long all day battery life. Very quick with no latency. I debated if I should get the 16Mb vs the 8 Mb. I ended up buying the 8 Mb and it is works well. I do mostly e-mail and web surfing. Previoulsy had the Mac Book Pro and is over priced for me. The Mac Air is the real value play.

    Apple has done it again, the best portable laptop. 1. Very light and easy to take anywhere when needed. 2. Powerful enough for most use when needed. 3. The price point for it is reasonable I would call if a bang for ur buck. Specially if you buy on sale.

    The Apple MacBook with the M2 chip is a real game-changer. Its Liquid Retina XDR screen is nothing short of spectacular, offering sharp, vibrant visuals that make everything from work tasks to binge-watching sessions look amazing. The display stays bright and clear even in well-lit rooms, and True Tone adjusts the color balance to keep things easy on the eyes. Battery life is equally impressive—expect up to 20 hours of video playback or around 15 hours of web browsing on a single charge. This means you can easily get through a full day of work or a long journey without scrambling for an outlet. With its blend of a stunning display and fantastic battery life, the MacBook with the M2 chip is a top pick for anyone who needs a reliable and powerful laptop.

    I've never had a MacBook but I wish I would have gone for one sooner! This laptop is so light and beautiful! The battery life is great - I can use it for a couple days before needing to charge it. Additionally, the speed is great - it turns on quickly and you can several different apps running at a time without compromising on speed. I really can't find anything to complain about!

    An excellent computer thus far. My previous MacBook Air for about 8 years old and was working great. I decided to do an upgrade. Very fast and reliable for what I need it for. I love that the screen fills up the entire computer and that it's a little smaller and compact. The battery life is super great and takes multiple days before it drains!!

    Take everything from the M1 MacBook Air, make it lighter, slimmer, with a better camera, more screen real estate along with a magsafe charger & incredibly faster M2 chip, all in a less volume package than it's predecessor.
