    My wife needed a new laptop for college and wanted something portable. She has been a lifelong Windows user, so I was pleasantly surprised when she told me she might like a Mac. So far, she loves the portability, the design, and she especially loves both the Touch ID and the tight integration with her iPhone.

    I recently got the Apple MacBook Air with the M2 chip, and I have to say, it's been a bit underwhelming. Sure, it's fast and efficient for everyday tasks, but it hasn't really wowed me like I hoped it would. The design is sleek, and the battery life is decent

    This is by far the best reasonably priced laptop I have ever owned. It is extremely reliable, fast speed with incredible malware protection. Previously owned HP, Toshiba, etc and will never go back. At least once a year I would get a virus on those other brands and not once since owning an Apple in 4 years. I won't buy any other brand for myself or my college children for the same reasons. Apple Care is incredibly with their customer service being only a phone call away.

    There’s no doubt about it, this thing is a machine! I have been using this laptop to edit videos using premiere and have even been able to edit complex photos with ease. The design is also very elegant and professional. Be aware that the color “midnight” is a fingerprint magnet and is very hard to keep clean.

    I was a bit nervous going from 2020 Pro to an Air, which went away as soon as I powered this bad boy up and logged in. VERY amazing and powerful machine! What I'm most impressed with is it's battery life. Only charge it every 3-4 days and that's working 8+ hours a day. Sheesh..Super happy with my purchase!

    I love how fast, sleek and modern this computer is. I upgraded from an Acer to this and it’s night & day how much Apple puts quality in their product. I love the seamless integration between my iPhone, Airpods and Apple Watch. The battery lasts a long time, the diplay is bright, and it does everything fast.

    Great little laptop at a great price. My only issue would be that it only connects with other devices with thunderbolt inputs, which means I must buy adapters to connect with other devices I have. I expect this is true across the board, and I know my other stuff is mostly obsolete and this may not affect other users. Other than that, the laptop works fast and has been pretty easy to set up and run.

    I’ve had my MacBook for over a year now and I love it, It’s so fast and can run many operations at once. I got the midnight blue color and it’s gorgeous. I do not have one bad thing to say about it.

    I love this laptop! It is so nice to have no fans, so the computer doesn’t get so loud in class. The 13.6” display is worth it if you have the choice. I also switched from a MacBook Pro and prefer this laptop. It works great for legal work. The battery life is also way better than my old MacBook.

    Replaced wife's older mac air for this. Night and day! The new macbook air has a sharp crisp screen, it's fast and she loves the new keyboard touchpad layout. The addition of a fingerprint scanner is nice. All in all, I'll probably get another when it's time to replace my HP business notebook.

    I debated between the MacBook Air M1 and M2 chip for months, but due to the 2 year gap between the two models, I decided that I should purchase the newer updated laptop. I cannot emphasize enough how much I am glad that I spent the extra few hundred dollars on the M2! The processor is faster than I could ever imagine and the overall upgrades are phenomenal as usual for Apple! The laptop is BEAUTIFUL!!!

    This is my first new computer since a mid-2013 MacBook Air (which was great, by the way). As I wanted to keep up with the latest version of the MacOS, I decided to by the new Air with M2 chip. WOW!! It is 20 times faster than my old Air and has a lot of perks (fingerprint scanner, much better display resolution). I am very much satisfied with the M2 Air Also, the battery lasts MUCH longer than my old Air's
