I’m very pleased with my purchase of the MacBook Air M2 (256GB SSD). I use it daily for work — mostly Excel, heavy web browsing through various CRM platforms, Word documents, PDFs, and file previews — and it handles everything smoothly and efficiently.
I usually keep it connected to an external dock, but when I’ve used it on battery alone, I’ve easily gotten over two full workdays without needing to recharge — battery life is genuinely impressive.
The portability is another standout feature — it’s super light, easy to carry, and honestly… it looks amazing. Apple really nailed the design with this one.
If you’re considering it for everyday productivity tasks, I’d 100% recommend the MacBook Air M2. Great performance, stunning display, ultra-portable, and incredible battery life.

I LOVE my macbook!! I got it for college (i go to SDSU) and it’s literally helped me out so much! it’s so fast, holds its battery charge (i can literally have days of classes go by and it only drops down to around 50%), and is so lightweight. 100% recommend this macbook to anybody and everybody. it also has the ability to play games like BTD6 or even papas freezeria lol.

I really love this MacBook! I bought it for college and it runs smoothly for my classes. I like being able to have multiple tabs open and even multiple desktops. This MacBook charges super fast and also has a great battery life. I was obsessed with trying to find a good wallpaper to do the display justice because it is so clear!! Would also like to say that I loved ordering this from Best Buy as it was cheaper than me buying it from Apple directly and also came super fast, I got my MacBook delivered to me the next day. It also was packaged really nicely in multiple boxes and wrap.

Everything about this laptop is amazing! I had a Dell laptop for many years prior and it was great. But now with the M2, it's faster with a longer (way longer) battery life, it's thin and light. I am enjoying the ease of use.

Love this laptop! It's smaller than the one I had before purchasing this one but it's the perfect size. Fits in my bag, doesn't hurt my back or shoulders when I carry it around. It's fast, no issues. I like the lighted keyboard, brightness settings. I have no complaints. I recommend this laptop for anyone looking for a reliable laptop for work and/or school. Battery lasts forever and I use it all day.

This is sleek and great as it could be. It is lightweight yet fast and powerful. Runs the software that used to drag in my other laptop with similar specifications. Running scripts has become faster especially R and Python that require multiple modules and large data processing. Absolutely love this.

Purchased this after my old MacBook screen became obsolete and was extremely happy with the upgrade! It really has everything you need in such a slim and compact design! Perfect for traveling and when you’re on the go, definitely would recommend this laptop to any students, creatives and anyone working from home!

This MacBook is awesome — it’s my first one and I love it.
I have been a Windows user my whole life and I decided to try the Mac side and I must say, it was worth the money. I like everything about this machine—the screen, the battery life, and the performance all being powered by the M2 chip (not the newest for 2025, but still powerful).
I’m a college student and this does everything I need it to. The screen’s colors are beautiful and it shines through the screen, the battery life is awesome with my previous windows computers dying or at low battery life by the end of the day. But this machine survives for more than a day and that’s impressive!!! The performance going from one tab to another is seamless.
Overall I don’t regret buying it and highly recommend this computer if you need a first MacBook. You’re going to love it.

This is a great computer! I love how it syncs with my Apple ID and my phone and it’s really fast. Never had any issues with viruses or anything and it’s like having a second larger phone. The size is perfect. It’s also Really convenient. Highly recommend to purchase

I recently bough this MacBook Air with the M2 chip for my studies and it’s almost a perfect laptop for me. Really good battery life and is light weight with more than enough power to get almost any the job done without any problems.
Highly recommended for students like myself.

This is a great computer if you're going to back to college! That is my use case for this MacBook Air, and I've been very happy with it. It's comfortable to type on, very easy to use, it boots up and loads webpages very quickly, and lasts a very long time on a charge. I don't have any complaints other than a lack of ports, bur beinfmg an Air model, that's to be expected. The MacBook Pro is the one yoy want, if you want a lot of usable ports.

I'm a PC girlie, always have been, most likely always will be. However, I can't lug around the $3K+ custom-built PC to a coffee shop when I want to get out of the house to study or lounge on my couch to online shop at 3 AM. I needed something that was lightweight but powerful. I have my iPad and I love it but it's a tablet, not a computer and there's a lot of things this Mac can do that my tablet can't, being able to watch a video while typing up notes being the main one. My job provides a MacBook Pro that is such a pain to carry around and I had wrongly assumed all Macs were the same. This Macbook is lightweight, sleek, and crazy fast. I needed it for simple things and it handles everything beautifully without a hitch. I don't need it to game but I'd wager it could handle anything I throw at it. 10/10.

Very capable. Best option for students who needs to do basic tasks. Long battery life and very reliable. M2 is very capable, more than enough for almost everyone. I got this on sale, and makes it more value for money.
