The Mac M3 impresses with its powerful performance, energy efficiency, and sleek design. Apple’s new chip delivers faster speeds and smoother multitasking, making it ideal for professionals and creatives alike. Battery life is excellent, and graphics performance sees a strong boost. However, it's a pricey upgrade for casual users. Overall, it’s a refined step forward in Apple’s lineup.

The color Starlight is so beautiful in person, the photos don’t do it justice. My last MacBook Air was from 2017, I had the MacBook Pro 2022 version & I liked that model. But I recently decided to upgrade my RAM so I needed to buy a new laptop. The price was right on point & so far I’m happy with my purchase. I’ve been using my laptop for about a week now & I love everything about my new laptop.

I am a college student and I love this macbook air, I have the 16/256 spec and for what im using this laptop for I have had zero issues.
The majority of my work for this device is done on cloud services with this device and I have yet to stress it. I love the way I can use it in tandem with my mac mini if i need a third screen or other feature the macbook has such as touch ID.
I mainly use this for writing and the keyboard really stands out for that. I have been using a surface pro 8 device and the keyboard/trackpads are night and day. with the macbook offering a much nicer experience over the surface, Additionally I am taking a Spanish course and I much prefer how apple handles typing with accent marks over the windows system. Its just so much easier and I find myself preferring to o my Spanish homework on the mac when possible.
The battery on the macbook is also phenomenal, I would never take my surface anywhere without a charge cable, the intel processors are just very power hungry where the M chips are not. I have yet to worry about battery life if I have my MBA charged at least half way,
Either way I need to keep the surface for windows exclusive software but I love using the mac when I can.
In the image the macbook is on the left and the surface pro 8 is on the right.

I have been using this laptop for 4 months now, this is my first MacBook and it's amazing! The laptop is very fast and good, I can open many tabs at once. Highly recommend for students especially if its your first laptop. Glas i got yhe 16 gb Ram because it is very fast. Best Buy is the best for getting electronics, costumer service is always great.

My husband got me this computer as a gift, and I absolutely love it. My old computer was so old and slow that it was driving me crazy. As a busy mom and student, I needed something faster, lighter, and with a keyboard that I could see late at night when I did homework while my newborn slept. This computer has saved my life. I'm almost done with my. bachelors and had i known sooner i would have bougth an apple laptop when I started school.

I wasn’t always a MacBook believer.
Coming from years of using traditional laptops—clunky, slow, and constantly tethered to a charger—I thought all machines were the same. Then came the MacBook. I purchased the MacBook Air M3, cautiously optimistic, but what happened next was unexpected: it reignited my passion for creation.
The first thing that struck me was the design. It’s not just sleek—it’s intentional. The moment you lift the lid, it springs to life. No noise. No lag. Just pure, focused silence and speed. The M3 chip doesn’t just promise performance, it delivers magic. Whether I’m editing videos, designing UI prototypes, running simulations, or simply typing away into the night, the MacBook feels like an extension of my thoughts—swift, fluid, effortless.
The battery life? It lasts longer than my longest workdays. I used to carry a charger everywhere like a lifeline. Now I leave it at home.
The keyboard? Whisper-soft yet satisfyingly clicky, like it knows exactly how hard I want to press.
The display? Crisp enough to catch details I never noticed before, colors so vibrant they feel alive.
But the real turning point was when I created my first design prototype for a cultural exchange app I dreamed of. I used to delay projects out of frustration with lagging devices. With the MacBook, I actually looked forward to working. The tools ran smoother. The transitions were seamless. I felt like a professional—even before becoming one.
It’s not just a laptop. It’s a mindset shift. A reminder that the tools you use do matter. That investing in quality can amplify your voice, your craft, your confidence.

This is my first ever MacBook, I originally got for just school use and small personal design use but now I’m completely obsessed. I use this almost more than I use my phone!
It has pretty good battery life depending on how much you’re using it, I mean either way it lasts about 18 hrs but I’ve had multiple times where I’ve used it quite frequently and didn’t need to charge it for 1 1/2-2 days which is awesome.

I got this as a Christmas gift and it’s amazing. My old computer is super slow but I have no issue with that with this. It runs super fast and connected rlly well to my hotspot for on the go use. I like that it connects to my phone really well as well. I love the color as well and the employees at Best Buy were so helpful and worked hard for me tog et this exact model when there was a chance it was out

It’s honestly perfect. I use it for studying, and as a law student, I mostly watch video lectures and type a lot of documents. I’ve been using it for about a month and haven’t had any issues—RAM is just enough for my needs. Definitely recommend it; Apple’s quality is unmatched.
