    Upgraded from MacBook Air intel i3 (2020)

    I am so glad that I traded in my old MacBook for this one. I was really on the fence about trading in because my previous MacBook was only 3 years old but it was soooo slow and sounded like it was gonna blow up whenever I had more than 3 tabs open at once. I know that it was a base model but I remember being disappointed the day I bought it when the fans immediately went full throttle upon start up. The M2 MacBook Air is amazing! I also got the base model but it doesn't feel like one. This MacBook runs smoothly and I haven't had any problems with it, doesn't even get warm to the touch when I have multiple applications open at once. Gets kinda warm when I open the Sims 4 but that's expected with only 8gb of memory. I bought this laptop mainly for school and I am so glad I did.

    I recently snagged the new MacBook Air M2 from Best Buy, and let me tell you, it's been a game-changer. The sleek design and feather-light feel make it a dream to carry around, and the M2 chip inside is an absolute powerhouse. Whether I'm zipping through work tasks or losing myself in a movie marathon, the speed and efficiency are unmatched. The Retina display is stunning, bringing visuals to life with vibrant colors and sharp detail. The battery life is no joke either – it goes on and on without breaking a sweat. The keyboard is a joy to type on, and the improved speakers make for a surprisingly immersive audio experience. Overall, the MacBook Air is a stellar investment that effortlessly blends style, performance, and convenience. Best Buy, you nailed it!

    Macbook Air M2

    Amazing laptop, the best in the market. Got the starlight color and do not regret my decision at all. Very clean and minimal yet an eye catcher having its hints of gold. Its somewhat similar to silver but you definitely see the subtle gold hints in a abundance of lightings. Definitely a funner yet still minimal color option than the repeated colors of silver and space grey.

    I absolutely love my new MacBook!! I had a MacBook Air 19 model and I sold it a few years ago because it was hard for me to navigate for some strange reason and I had a hard time learning the copy and paste future worked differently on the MacBook than a regular pc or Chromebook, had a difficult time with my zoom app working and so much more. Well I recently decided to sign up for grad school and I needed a computer. I did my research and low and behold MacBook kept coming in as the best laptop for school, work etc so I decided to give it another try and I’m sooo glad I did! Apple made this MacBook way easier to navigate and the dynamics are awesome!! I also like the added features of all of my other apple devices working in sync with my MacBook!!! Oh and how cool is it that I can now answer a call from my MacBook as well!! And I LOVE the starlight color!!

    The MacBook Air M2 is an outstanding ultrabook with a sleek design, excellent battery life, and powerful performance. The Liquid Retina display is vibrant, and the M2 chip ensures smooth multitasking. The return of MagSafe charging is a plus, and the fanless design keeps it silent.

    Okay, so I finally got my hands on the new MacBook Air 13.6", and let me tell you, this thing is a beast! It's got the M2 chip, and man, it's super quick - everything just loads up in a flash. The screen is bright and sharp, and the space gray color? It's pretty slick. Movies look amazing, and the photos I edit pop off the screen. Plus, this baby doesn't even break a sweat, no matter how many Chrome tabs or apps I have open. 8GB memory might sound like not much, but it gets the job done, no lags at all. The 256GB SSD is decent for storage and boots up super fast. And the battery life? Just awesome! Lasts me all day, no problem. MacOS feels smoother than ever, and typing on the Magic Keyboard is a breeze. Only bummer is the two USB-C ports, might need to get an adapter, but honestly, no biggie so far. All in all, I'm seriously loving my new MacBook. Well done, Apple!

    With the redesign of the MacBook Air, along with the new color choices (Midnight is the best), and M2 chip inside, i have yet to find something wrong with this machine. Battery life is great and it’s really fast for the things I do with it (photo editing, Office apps, listening to music, etc).

    I really like this Mac. It’s the perfect size for what I need and I like the look as it’s very sleek. It’s quite, doesn’t over heat, it’s really fast and it’s not a requirement to shut it down after use.

    The Apple MacBook Air with a 13.6-inch screen, 8GB memory, and 256GB SSD is a great mix of performance and portability. It's super lightweight and fits easily into my laptop bag. The display is vibrant and sharp. It handles my everyday tasks smoothly, though heavy-duty users might need more RAM. The keyboard and trackpad are comfortable, and the battery life is impressive, often lasting over 15 hours. The only downside is the limited ports, so you might need adapters. The base model works fine for web browsing, email, and light photo editing. I would not recommend it if you do intensive video editing.

    Its a slim, light, efficient and perfect personal computer.Battery run rate is impressive. Its a all day woring laptop with just one charge. I just upgraded this one from mcbook air 13. But I dont know why the battery drains so fast in non operation condition. I fully charge it and after a couple of week or two, battery level drops down around 20%. The old one was not like this. If 90% charged and did not use for a month, charge would remain above 80%.

    Head to Best Buy for your next MacBook Air

    More details about the product and trade in details, but overall you can call me a happy returning Best Buy client with a new MacBook Air. Totally recommend this product, and the purchase experience with Best Buy and has brought me back into the store after a decade. Bought this open Box with trade in as it was sold at a great discount saving me about $50-350, it was in excellent condition and ready for pickup within an hour. I was easily able to trade up from a Mac mini I had purchased after a good 6 months, as I needed some more functionality and portability. The trade in value was refunded against my full price payment within an hour - fantastic approach for customers who continuously upgrade or purchase their personal technology. The mac boasts a fantastic modern day MacBook Air with mesmerizing screen and the functionality you expect from apple, and the return of the beloved MagSafe charger. Since 2011, I’ve owned a MacBook for personal, school, and work and it’s the most reliable and feature-rich laptop on the market. It simply sets the tone for the laptop industry. MacBook line makes up for missing fun features like a touch screen, with their compact MagSafe charger, sharp design and colors, with the latest Silicon Valley M2 processor made by Apple for Apple. This combo delivers top performance and speed for almost a full day on one charge. It’s no wonder why Mac users fall in love with their device. This is my third MacBook Air and I’ve had 3 or 4 MacBook pros including newer ones with the apple M2. I have not had any Issues other than battery life depreciation and will swear by these computers. This is the most impressive model yet. If you’re not using it for design, editing Or coding you won’t always need the power of the pro over an Air so take the sexy slim designed Mac home. I wanted the 15” but settled for the 13” due to cost. I’ve purchased most of my apple devices refurbished, and this was my first open box. I don’t see much difference in new, open box, or refurbished other than knowing you’re the first owner. I can’t speak to geek squad refurbished. Great trade in program and takes a great variety of old technology you may have. Note that you’ll need to pay full price upfront opposed to traditional trade in that takes 3-5 days prior to you getting something for the device you sent in. I liked Best Buy’s workaround to this by allowing you to drop off your trade in within 10 or so days after buying, one reason why you pay full price up front. This avoids that but also means you need healthy cash flow while purchasing, a deterrent for some who have tight budgets like college students. But on the bright side it avoids the traditional trade in’s biggest draw back, again not for all buyers, the interruption in access to the device if it’s something you use frequently i.e. cell phone or used for work/school. But overall I recommend the Best Buy trade in program over most other retailers or after market buyers. If you’re looking for cash for trade in, you may want to research and compare options online.
