    I was never an apple computer person until now. I am never going back to any other brand. This laptop is fast, slick, and very easy to use. I am still learning the commands. I don't use them often, other than copy and paste. Still team android for phone though hahaha

    As someone who is considered a pioneer in the world of personal computing, I must admit that the MacBook Air 13.6" Laptop with the Apple M2 chip is an impressive piece of technology. The sleek design and efficient hardware are truly a testament to the innovation and creativity that Apple has become known for. While some may argue that the 8GB memory and 256GB SSD are modest specs in comparison to other laptops on the market, I must say that Apple's attention to detail and optimization make up for any potential shortcomings. The M2 chip in particular is a marvel of engineering, and I am always impressed by the power and speed that it brings to the table. As someone who has always valued simplicity and ease of use, I find the user interface on the MacBook Air to be intuitive and efficient. It's clear that Apple has put a great deal of thought into every aspect of the design, from the trackpad to the keyboard to the display. Overall, I have to say that the MacBook Air 13.6" Laptop is a worthy competitor in the world of personal computing. While I may have some personal preferences that differ from Apple's design philosophy, there is no denying the quality and craftsmanship that has gone into this latest model.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    The 13-inch MacBook Air is hands down one of the best laptops I’ve ever used. The first thing that stands out is the battery life—it’s incredible. I can easily go an entire day (and then some) without reaching for the charger, even while multitasking, streaming, and working nonstop. It’s the kind of battery life that actually changes how you use a laptop. In terms of speed, the MacBook Air is impressively fast and smooth. Apps open instantly, multitasking feels effortless, and everything runs quietly with no fan noise. Whether I’m browsing, editing documents, watching videos, or juggling multiple apps at once, performance stays consistently snappy and responsive. The 13-inch display is absolutely gorgeous. Colors are vibrant, text is razor-sharp, and brightness is excellent, making it comfortable to use indoors or outdoors. Watching videos, editing photos, or just reading feels premium and easy on the eyes. Overall, the MacBook Air 13-inch delivers outstanding battery life, powerful performance, and a beautiful display in a thin, lightweight design. It’s perfect for work, school, or everyday use—and easily one of the best laptops you can buy.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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!
