    Let me start the review with saying that Apple makes great products - they are, however, overpriced when not on sale. I purchased this specifically to write some code and surf the web. I'm not in college, just taking online coding classes. Please note that I'm primarily a windows user for gaming. I purchased this specifically to avoid gaming on a laptop. This is to purposefully for skill development. I like to compartmentalize things... If you're going to do heavy gaming, don't even look at Mac. Build your own PC! Pros: - Battery life is fantastic. Apple knocked it out of the park on this. I sometimes leave it on sleep for days, only to find it's lost a few percentage points of battery on standby. Really quite amazing. - Interface with iPhone is seamless. Very useful to get messages or phone calls since I frequently leave my phone somewhere else to focus on my coding projects. - Well-built and sturdy. Not much more to be said there. - Apple silicon (the chip) with the integrated RAM is extremely power efficient. As said above, battery life is fantastic. - Satisfying keyboard and amazing trackpad with great feedback and useability. Trackpads on windows laptops have always sucked. This thing is basically made to never need a mouse. You can click on any spot (even corners) and it doesn't feel tough. On windows laptops you usually struggled to click/right click on the top and outer edges of the pad. Apple does extremely well with their trackpads. Cons: - Fingerprint magnet. I purchased a thin, hard-shell case to avoid getting grease prints on it. - 3rd party mouse (because they want you to buy an overpriced apple mouse) sucks on this. You have to install 3rd party software to get it to work right. Again, primarily made to be used without a mouse. - In addition to the above, a mouse just doesn't behave right when connected. Yes, I'm aware you can change settings to make it better - the point is a mouse shouldn't slingshot across the screen. I primarily use a logitech G502 hero on my gaming desktop. It just works. When you do the same with the macbook, it sucks. Since I'm not gaming, however, it's not a deal breaker. - Price. If you are going to pay full price for this, well, you probably have extra money to burn. Not worth it buying at full price. Apple will charge you +$200 per 256gb of extra storage. It's soldered to the motherboard, so, whatever choice you get, no upgrading later. It's done on purpose to get you to spend more money on the higher storage options. - No Fans. Apple had issues with the M2 Macbooks running ridiculously hot. This appear to have been fixed, but, still doesn't seem right to not at least have a small blower fan on the CPU/GPU. They reserve fans for the Pro models - again, another way to try and get you to upgrade. In their defense, if you aren't doing anything heavy, it's not necessarily required. If you are going to do heavy video editing on this, you're probably not even looking at this model and will be spending more on the Pro version. - 60hz in 2024. This is nitpicky, but, my opinion nonetheless. Other Notes: - In my personal opinion, you have to ask yourself what you're going to use this for. Are you going to surf the web, check email, upload photos, do light video editing for youtube? If yes, this will probably work for you. If you're going to do heavier editing, you'll probably best to just get an external SSD for on the go editing. Don't get ripped off on overpriced internal storage. Quite frankly, the new minimum for storage should be 512gb and not 256gb. Also, do yourself a favor and get the 16gb version if you're going to do any sort of light video editing work. 8gb RAM just isn't really enough anymore - unless all you're doing is using it for emails and surfing the web. Final note - I highly recommend to buy it on sale. Yes, it's a quality product, but, Apple uses it's own name to justify overcharging folks. Bought mine during black friday and got $250 off this model.

    Performance The M3 chip is incredibly powerful and optimized for Apple’s ecosystem, delivering lightning-fast performance and seamless multitasking. With 16GB of memory, it handles demanding tasks effortlessly, whether it’s video editing, programming, or running multiple apps. Design The 13-inch MacBook Air in Starlight is sleek and lightweight, making it perfect for portability. The color is elegant and stands out subtly. The design continues Apple’s tradition of minimalist aesthetics. Display The Retina display offers stunning visuals, vibrant colors, and sharp text. It’s perfect for watching videos, editing photos, and day-to-day work. Battery Life The battery life is impressive, lasting a full day with moderate use. This makes it an excellent choice for students, professionals, or travelers. Storage The 256GB SSD provides fast boot times and quick access to files. However, it might feel limiting for users with extensive media libraries or heavy applications, so consider external storage or a higher-capacity model if needed. Pros • Exceptional performance with the M3 chip • Lightweight and portable design • Gorgeous Retina display • Long-lasting battery Cons • Limited storage for power users • Premium price Conclusion The MacBook Air 13-inch with the M3 chip is a fantastic laptop for those who want a balance of power, portability, and style. It’s ideal for casual to professional users who value performance and sleek design. If storage isn’t a concern, it’s a worthy investment.

    I’ve been using the MacBook Air 13-inch (M2, 2024) for a while now, and I have to say—it’s easily one of the best laptops I’ve ever owned. It strikes the perfect balance between power, portability, and battery life, making it an ideal daily driver for work, travel, and entertainment. First Impressions & Design The moment I took it out of the box, I was impressed by how thin and light it is. At just 2.7 pounds, it feels almost weightless in a backpack, which is a huge plus if you’re always on the go. The all-aluminum body feels premium, and the Midnight color (the one I chose) looks absolutely stunning—though it does attract fingerprints. The 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display is bright and crisp, making everything from browsing to Netflix look fantastic. The notch at the top didn’t bother me much, and I appreciate the extra screen space. Performance in Daily Use Equipped with the M2 chip, this MacBook Air handles everything I throw at it effortlessly. Web browsing, document editing, and even some light photo and video editing feel snappy and smooth. I’ve also tried running multiple apps at once—Slack, Spotify, Safari (with way too many tabs open)—and it hasn’t slowed down. For those considering heavier tasks like 4K video editing or gaming, the fanless design means it stays completely silent, but it might throttle under extreme loads. However, for most everyday users, this laptop is more than powerful enough. Battery Life That Just Keeps Going One of the biggest highlights is the incredible battery life. I easily get 12-15 hours on a single charge with regular use, and even on heavier days, it lasts long enough that I don’t worry about carrying a charger. Keyboard & Trackpad Typing on this laptop is a dream. The Magic Keyboard has great key travel, and I’ve had no issues typing for hours. The trackpad is massive and responsive, making gestures and navigation feel intuitive. Is It Worth It? If you’re looking for a laptop that’s light, fast, and has amazing battery life, the MacBook Air 13-inch (M2, 2024) is a fantastic choice. It’s not the cheapest option, but for the quality, performance, and longevity you’re getting, I’d say it’s worth every penny. Who It’s Perfect For: ✅ Students and professionals who need a reliable, portable laptop ✅ Anyone who values battery life and a silent, fanless design ✅ People who work with light creative tasks (photo editing, light video work) Who Might Want to Look Elsewhere: ❌ Heavy video editors and gamers—consider a MacBook Pro instead ❌ Those on a budget—the M1 MacBook Air is still a great option Final Thoughts The MacBook Air 13-inch (M2, 2024) has quickly become one of my favorite devices. It’s powerful enough for everything I need, incredibly lightweight, and has battery life that feels almost unreal. If you’re in the market for a premium, portable laptop, this one’s hard to beat.
