    Very light and fast! The battery life is awesome, and the chip keeps up. If you open power hungry apps, some of the graphics can lag, but 99% of the time, it's been good!

    I absolutely love this MacBook!! It is everything that you could possibly need from a laptop. It’s sleek compact and absolutely worth the buy. I would recommend getting it from Best Buy. The service was excellent and the price was reasonable I am absolutely impressed with the entire experience.

    Gets hot when rendering

    I’m a wedding photographer/videographer. I bought this MacBook for the days when I’m not home and need to get work done. I’ve used Lightroom, photoshop and premiere pro on this and have no complaints! It is smaller compared to my iMac desktop of course, but it gets the job done. I’ve started and finished video projects with it. Be aware that there is no external fan on the laptop so if you’re rendering a project that might take a while, the bottom will get hot! I put a fan or cold pack near it out of fear that it’ll burn the inside but honestly it’s fine. I would recommend buying a pro for video projects but this will definitely get the job done otherwise.

    One of the best buys of the year. So quiet, fast and easy to move around (lite). Great screen, sound and ease of use. I am a HUGE Apple fan but this one would have me come to the Apple side for sure.

    I upgraded from a ten year old MacBook Pro, which still works fine but was running out of hard drive space. This laptop is light, fast, thin, the battery lasts forever, it’s quiet and never gets warm. Loving it so far.

    Fingerprints? Amazing device!

    Absolutely love the sleek design and color from Apple. I heard that the midnight color is prone to fingerprints and that is true but easily wipe is with soft fabric and it’s back to pristine conditions. The system is fast, bold colors and vibrant screen. Using it for basic needs are easily handled with this processor. I have started using it more and more for my photo editing as I’m picking back up in that aspect of life and have not found any faults with software applications or true color definition. If you can pick this up, I think it’s a great financial investment and you wouldn’t be disappointed. Again, the midnight does have more issues with fingerprints but to me it’s not anything that truly affects the device itself, going to be personal preference though.

    Windows to Mac Transition

    Very happy with this purchase. I was hesitant to switch from Windows to Mac even though I've been an Apple user for years (iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch). So happy I switched and regret not switching sooner. I will say it does take a bit to fully transition from Windows to Mac but after about a week or so, I was very comfortable with what I was doing. Purchased just shy of a month ago and while I am still learning things here and there, I feel I am able to use the Mac just as efficiently as I was able to use my previously laptops. Battery life far exceeds any laptops I've used previously. Love that when I'm working, I basically have a hub at my fingertips connected with my phone.

    For my use case, this MacBook was a no brainer. I understand the whole thermal issue with the MacBook Air line, however it has not been a problem for me. I am an adult college student, as well as an amateur content creator. This laptop has not ever been hotter than the acer I owned. I haven’t pushed it too far, but I, like most people, won’t. This MacBook is my travel computer as well, and the weight alone makes it so easy. The battery life is great. I also want to mention the longevity of the battery when not in use. In rest mode with it closed, it can last for days with minimal battery drain, which is an issue on most windows laptops. Also, this being my first Mac OS product, I did not realize what I was missing!

    This MacBook Air rocks! Lighter, more battery life, and an amazing display are a significant upgrade from the previous version. Processing speed of the M2 is heat as well. Highly recommend!

    Great computer. Durable and fast processing. This was bought for my daughter in her senior year of high school and it served her well, before transitioning to college. She uses it in and out of class all day and has no issues with speed or storage. It’s lightweight and easy to take anywhere.

    Awesome Computer But M1 Still a Viable Option

    |

    Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I have an M1 Air for work and needed a personal laptop. I originally purchased the 256gb M1 Air but realized I preferred to have 512gb of storage (which they no longer sell in the M1 Model) so I ended up going for the M2 and I'm glad I did. Pros: I really like the new flatter shape as it is less sharp in my hands (I have accidentally skinned my knuckle on the edge of an M1 Air). I also really appreciate the extra screen real estate. It doesn't seem like much, but the screen feels much more spacious than the M1 Air in a (slightly) lighter package. Cons: Compactness: Compared to the M2, the M1 air actually feels more compact (which it is) and more "dense" which isn't necessarily a con and also more of a personal prefrence than a con. Trackpad: Another minor niggle but the trackpad click on the M1 air feels more solid compared to the M2 which sounds more hollow. Definitely a personal preference but something I noticed in comparison. It's probably due to there being a hollow space under the trackpad in the M2 versus the M1 which I believe has a battery cell underneath it. Conclusion: If you are only looking at the base model 256gb model I would honestly recommend picking up the 256gb M1 Air (especially if it's on sale) as the memory is faster and you really don't give up much in the way of performance between the M1 and M2 Chip. However, if you have a large Apple Photos collection I'd recommend upgrading to the 512gb M2 Air. It's an awesome computer and you won't regret it!

    This laptop has exceeded my expectations. The M3 was about to come out, and I said screw it and got this instead. I was not disappointed. The overall speed and performance have impressed me and I have had zero issues with it after two years of ownership.
