Fast, reliable and sleek laptop to work on, happy with it

Let's keep this in mind before reading too much into my review: I'm a 33-year Windows veteran who hasn't used a Apple computer since the Apple IIe (let's not count my iPhone or iPad, okay?) and I've got to say... it ain't half bad. These MacBooks are solid chunks of aluminum with nice feeling keys and pretty okay software. The main thing Apple has been pushing is "it just works" which, for the most part (prior to Apple Intelligence) is true... provided you're already up to your knees in the Apple ecosystem AND you're okay with the fact that Apple likes to do things that make no sense except to their executive bean counters. So far, I really love USING this thing, or at least the physical act of it. Typing is pleasant, once you get used to the fact that Apple seems to think aesthetics are somehow more important than ergonomics. For example, no matter how "centered" they want to pretend this keyboard is, my hands do not feel centered at all. Also, the trackpad is centered within the width of the chassis, but the keys are NOT - basically because they never have been before. So your hands are not going to feel quite right if you're coming from a Windows machine to this Mac thing and you do a lot of typing. I was glad to get the 16GB model for a halfway decent price (relatively speaking - my Asus Vivobook with 20GB RAM and 1.5TB storage STILL cost less than this thing even after I built it up) but that's not why I bought this. This is mainly my writing laptop now, for social media and actual word processing. It'll get me around on the internet just fine, but I still prefer the wide-screen format of my 15" Asus. But aside from portability and the need for something more up-to-date than my old Ryzen-5 machine, I'm hoping that this is better with graphics and video and audio editing than my Asus. And I'm glad to see that I now have a single-port docking capability for a second monitor+power+USB for the times when I'm actually using this at my desk... a feature only my corporate Latitude 5540 could replicate before. But for all its physical density (this thing is thin and solid) the outer finish is slick and slippery. You're absolutely going to want to get a sleeve, or at least a vinyl skin, for carrying this thing around. I happen to have tons of space in my laptop bag, so this goes in there fine with my iPad and Asus and all the cables that go with them. But carrying this thing from room to room with one hand is a recipe for disaster, unless you actually prefer your laptops full of dents and scratches and Cheeto-dust. For the price you're paying for this, it would be worth every penny to at least give it some protection and slip-resistance.

My first Mac and I love it. The speed, display, and especially battery life.

I’ve been using the MacBook Air for a few weeks now, and I’m truly impressed with how it combines sleek design with impressive performance. The laptop is incredibly lightweight, making it easy to carry around all day, whether I’m working from a coffee shop or traveling. The Retina display is sharp and vibrant, which is perfect for both professional tasks and streaming content.

Had PC computers until now. The battery life is unmatched. Overall very pleased I made the switch.

Great Laptop , Sleek Design & High performance great for all day battery life

Great macbook with strong performance and strong portability factor.

I have been a msft user for many years, and I still a desktop machine for certain uses. This macbook has been a solid performing laptop for my needs - mainly used for small business needs online with some google docs. I am very satisfied with the overall performance, power, battery life, and tools provided.

Great computer, so light, so fast, battery life is great

Amazing computer! Easy to travel with and easy to use!

This is a power horse. Its a beautiful machine that does everything

For years, the MacBook Air has held a unique position in the laptop landscape, promising portability without sacrificing usability. Having spent a good amount of time with the latest iteration, I can confidently say it largely delivers on that promise and then some. The first thing that strikes you is the design. It's impossibly thin and light – the kind of laptop you genuinely forget is in your bag. This makes it an absolute dream for anyone on the go, whether you're a student rushing between classes, a professional constantly hopping between meetings, or simply someone who likes to work from different corners of their home. The build quality feels as premium as you'd expect from Apple, solid and reassuring. But the MacBook Air is more than just a pretty face. The performance, especially with the Apple silicon, is truly impressive. Everyday tasks like browsing, email, and document editing are lightning fast and buttery smooth. Even more demanding applications run surprisingly well, making light work of photo editing or even some video editing tasks. The efficiency of the chip also translates to exceptional battery life. I routinely found myself going through an entire workday and then some without needing to reach for the charger – a significant upgrade from previous generations. The display is vibrant and sharp, making everything from text to videos look crisp and clear. While it might not have the ProMotion technology of its pricier siblings, it's still a joy to use for extended periods. The keyboard remains comfortable for typing, offering a decent amount of travel and a satisfying click. The trackpad, as always with MacBooks, is large, responsive, and a pleasure to use with its intuitive gestures. Of course, no product is perfect. The MacBook Air has a limited number of ports, typically just a couple of Thunderbolt/USB 4 ports and a headphone jack. This often necessitates the use of a dongle for connecting older peripherals or multiple accessories. Additionally, for truly intensive creative workflows, the MacBook Pro might still be a better choice due to its more powerful chips and better cooling. In conclusion, the latest MacBook Air is a fantastic laptop for a wide range of users. It perfectly balances portability, performance, and battery life in a sleek and well-built package. While the port selection might be limiting for some, the overall experience is undeniably polished and enjoyable. If you prioritize a lightweight machine that can handle daily tasks with ease and last all day, the MacBook Air is undoubtedly a top contender.

It delivers seamless performance for both work and entertainment. The Midnight finish adds a premium touch, while the vibrant Retina display ensures an immersive viewing experience. Highly recommend it for those looking for an ultra-portable, powerful laptop!

The Apple laptop is really good. It looks nice, works fast, and is easy to use. The screen is clear and bright, and the battery lasts a long time. It's great for school, watching videos, or doing projects. Overall, it's a strong and reliable computer.

Great product! Love my new Mac air. Super fast and comfortable to use. I will be buying another one soon for my wife.

After two weeks of using the MacBook Air M2 for software development and learning niche skills, it has proven to be an impressive device. The M2 chip delivers excellent performance for coding tasks, handling multiple development environments with ease. Overall, the MacBook Air M2 is a solid choice for developers seeking a balance of power and portability

Very light and portable. I used to carry a Lenovo Legion 17 inch around. This is way easier to travel with without losing anything. The Apple family integration is seamless. I don't use it for gaming but it is great for work tasks and multitasking.

I went from a 2020 MacBook Pro to this and I couldn’t be happier! It’s smaller but packs a lot of power. I use 80% or adobe creative cloud apps on it and never had a problem with long loads in between edits. Highly recommend!

nice macbook. looks good and works great. I would make this purchase again

When I heard that the MacBook was discounted on Best Buy for the open box i instantly went to buy it! With the offers of being able to pay it off I knew I could buy it and it definitely met my expectations. For a first time user of the open box system I can say it was like the item was brand new which it was! Only complaint is about the box sadly as it looks like it had a few dents but overall the MacBook works smooth and has been a blessing ever since!
