    Works much better than expected. The size and weight is absolutely perfect for carrying around my house and outside. Battery life far exceeds what I could've imagined. I have it open all day during work using it as my primary listening device. While it's not as fast as my MacBook Pro with the M2 Pro chip, it is much faster than my old intel i5 MacBook Pro.

    This compact laptop is great! I use it for daily school work, gaming, and editing. When gaming the MacBook has a gaming mode but I still experience a little bit of lag. On the other hand this thing handles editing like a beast it is extremely smooth and it stays cool for about 2 hours then it starts to heat up and get a bit laggy. If you have a iPhone or iPad they work great with the features on the Mac. For example, say you want to copy and paste from your iPhone to your MacBook with just a click and drag you can do that. Overall this laptop has been the best bang for my buck. Though the price may seem intimidating it is SO worth it.

    I recently purchased this MacBook Air from Best Buy, and I couldn't be more pleased with its performance. This sleek and lightweight laptop is perfect for school, business, and casual use alike. Its compact design makes it easy to carry around, while the battery life ensures that I can work for extended periods without needing to recharge frequently. One of the standout features of this MacBook Air is its impressive battery life. Whether I'm attending classes, working on projects, or simply browsing the web, I can count on it to keep up with my busy schedule without needing to constantly hunt for power outlets. However, it's worth noting that this MacBook may not be the best choice for graphic-intensive tasks. While it handles everyday computing tasks with ease, users looking to edit videos or play graphics-intensive games may find the performance lacking compared to other models. Overall, the MacBook Air is a versatile and reliable laptop that excels in everyday use. Its combination of portability, battery life, and performance make it an excellent choice for students, professionals, and anyone in need of a dependable computer for everyday tasks.

    This laptop is the whole package. It’s light, but powerful. I am also very pleased with how user friendly it is. I got used to having the Touch Bar on my last Mac, and thought I would really miss that feature. But, I truly don’t without how easy it is to maneuver from screen to screen.

    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!

    Best computer I’ve owned to date. It’s fast, lightweight, and operates much better with the A2 chip than my 16in 2020 Intel Macbook Pro which makes me wonder why I paid 3x the price for the MacBook Pro when the MacBook Air is far superior in every way except for storage. Take it from me, just buy the MacBook Air instead of the MacBook Pro and save yourself the money.

    My Take on the MacBook Air M2 - Midnight

    Title: My Take on the MacBook Air M2 - Midnight Magic So, I got myself the MacBook Air 13.6" with the Apple M2 chip, 8 gigs of memory, and a 256GB SSD in that cool Midnight color. Gotta say, it's been pretty awesome so far! The M2 chip is a champ. It handles everything I throw at it without breaking a sweat. Browsing, running apps, and streaming are all smooth sailing. The thing's got some serious speed. I was a bit skeptical about the 8GB memory, but it's been holding up well. No hiccups when I switch between apps, and it handles multitasking like a pro. If you're not doing heavy-duty stuff, 8GB should do the trick. The 256GB SSD is a game-changer. The MacBook boots up crazy fast, and apps pop open in no time. Plus, it's got enough space for my files without getting bulky. The Midnight color is not just for looks; it's practical too. Doesn't show fingerprints, and it's holding up against scratches. The 13.6" display is sharp and vibrant – great for whatever I'm doing. Big shoutout to Best Buy for making the whole buying process easy. The staff was helpful, knew their stuff, and guided me to the right choice. No complaints there. To sum it up, the MacBook Air with the M2 chip is a solid machine. It's slick, powerful, and Best Buy made getting it a breeze. If you're on the lookout for a reliable laptop, this one's worth checking out.

    Got this on sale and I am very satisfied. This is my first macbook ever owned and although it took some adjusting from Windows, the performance is just unmached. Great for multitasking. Wanted this mainly for school work and it fully met my expectations. Also the midnight color is super unique, although it does get fingerprints easily, which is something to keep in mind.

    I replaced a 17 year old MacBook Pro with this MacBook Air. It does everything I need it to do but so much faster. It probably weighs a quarter of my old one and the battery lasts days instead of minutes. Transferring the data was very easy, with no files lost. I love the speed and stability. Best Buy made the purchase fast and easy.

    We purchased this laptop for our daughter who needed one going into college. The laptop was in the sweet spot of price and performance for us. It's not the most powerful laptop in the world, by any means, but for her needs in school, it is perfect. Also, I know Mac's are generally more costly than PC's, but I am impressed with how elegant this laptop is for the price.

    I was looking to upgrade from my trusty old 2014 27" iMac because I was at the end of the road for MacOS updates, when the internal HD finally died. It's not an easy fix to just open it up the iMac and replace the drive so I decided to use that $500 towards a new Mac. I was going back and forth between the MacBook Air and the 24" iMac and decided the mobility would be nice since I can add a 27" monitor for when I'm at home working on something that could use a larger screen. I had another dilemma, do I buy an M1 Air or go with the new M2 for a few $ hundred more? I ended up choosing the M2 simply because it was the latest model with the newest CPU and I would be keeping it for a long time and knew the M1 would become obsolete sooner than the M2. The M3 is probably not too far around the corner, but I can't chase technology and needed to make a decision. I knew to expect a huge speed improvement from my older Intel-based iMac, but WOW, this thing is incredibly responsive and fast. The SSD helped but the M2 is so much more capable than anything I've had in the past. I use an M1 MacBook Pro for work and this M2 Air is so much faster at some tasks. I can't comment on the video editing capabilities, so maybe the MacBook Pro is better at that, but for what I use it for, this is more than perfect. I ended up waiting a week longer to get the midnight color, which is nice, but now that I have it, it shows up fingerprints and oil from my hands much more than the silver or even space gray so that's something to think about if you use hand lotions or sometimes eat Fritos while using your computer. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a small but powerful Mac with an incredible screen. I realized I didn't mention the screen. At first, I thought going from a 27" iMac and a 16" MacBook Pro to a 13" (and a smidge) screen would be an issue but it hasn't been a problem. The screen is bright, crisp and has an anti-glare coating that you don't notice is anti-glare.

    Macbook Airs have become a great buy for anyone that wants to be inthe ecosystem but dont want to break the bank. Yes they are extremely over priced devices with an obsured apple tax but. I can't flaw that they are bad devices. I purchased this for a family member who had a top of the line 2019 macbook Pro ( $4k+ device ) and this $1k device suits their needs better. I believe the 256gb ssd is insane but an external drive fixes that. And the 8gb of ram isnt going to let you edit video or write software but these devices aren't purchased for that reason. If you wan to look fancy AF and have the most pleasant experience the apple gods cna give you and still afford to eat at the end of the week buy this. Any windows PC you purchase will come loaded with bloat, be a meh experience from the get go, and degrade 3 times quicker.

    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.
