Customers are saying

Customers consistently note the MacBook Air's excellent performance, impressive battery life, and lightweight, portable design as significant strengths. Many appreciate its sleek aesthetics and the ample RAM. However, some users find the storage capacity limited and express concerns about the fingerprint susceptibility of the midnight color. A few also reported minor issues with screen quality and occasional overheating.

    Can’t STAND this worthless complicated, poor excuse of a laptop. A BAND of money for NOTHING.

    Pretty good laptop, nothing special to be honest. An M1, M2 Mac or even a M4 iPad is just as good. Cant really recommend 60hz displays anymore, no matter how good a laptop is. Every display we look at is constantly getting better and faster, except these.

    I was not prepared for the difference between MacBook and Windows systems. I am lost when trying to use the new laptop . Even deleting a screen is tough. Not very happy with purchase

    Apple Is Failing Terribly

    I have to give Apple one-star ratings until they return to the days when they actually built great computers. Nowadays, they feel so cheap, and they don't actually perform as well as they claim to. I wish they would go back to their designs from the early-to-mid 2000s when they made tanks, and you could actually customize them on your own. Nowadays, they are throwaway products like plastic cups, and the only reason I bought this is because my last MacBook stopped working with my browser and all the automatic software upgrades they foist on you now. I used to be an Apple fan. Now I try to talk everyone out of ever using an Apple product.

    I would love to tell you how my laptop is working, but I'm waiting for Geek Squad to transfer over the data from my old laptop to the new one. I was told by Bau (?) at the Glendora store that it would be ready today (Jan 10) by noon. Today Santiago tells me it's not ready and that this type of order takes 3-7 days to complete. Had I been told that in the first place, I would not have left both my laptops with Geek Squad at this time. Help!

    The shipping packaging was horrible. The Macbook box was put loosely in a larger box. It could easily slide around and be damaged.

    The functioning is as one would expect, no doubt. The body is terrible. They made rather sharp edges, which dig into your wrist. I didn't even realize how bad it was until my nerves started hurting excessively. Can't ignore the pointy indents around the centre area where one opens the lid. Disappointed.

    Several times I called the customer service department (in Spanish) to help me with some issues from Best Buy (delivery and pick up of the product) and they did not help at all.
