    My MacBook is absolutely amazing! It looks so sleek and stylish. I got the 13-inch model, and it’s just the right size. It fits perfectly in my school bag, so I can take it everywhere I go. The quality and graphics are soo good & my computer stays charged all day … YALL BUY ITTTT. And if you’re doing an online order and pick up in person, you need your id upon arrival.

    Is lightweight and thin, fast, and has amazing battery life (around 12 to 15 hours with a single charge). The display has beautiful color and the brightness is not the best but is enough, the keyboard comfortable, and it handles my daily tasks in college. Fully recommended for work, study, or casual use.

    Best Under $1000 Laptop

    I was fortunate to get this at the sale price of $849. This was so compelling I bought one, and decided to get 2nd one for myself. This was with 256 gig option 14 inch. Purchased in both the new blue grey, and midnight color. I am currently using these to dabble in AI video editing, gaming on Xbox Cloud, general use. The battery truly is over 18hrs. I am what you call power user using every aspect of the machine streaming music , surfing , writing etc. Even when I was gaming on Xbox cloud gaming and was gaming for long night as was competing Doom Dark Ages still had 20% battery after gaming all night. I normally have used Windows machines, but had MacBook air of the past. This M4 was able to edit videos in speedy way using Veo 3 Google Tools. Overall , I really care about nice bright screen, clear audio, battery life, and never to stutter on video, or opening multiple windows etc. When I gave this laptop as gift it was to replace a MacBook air from like before pandemic. It is about 30% faster than the prior processors. This Mac is for every person that wants a very nice laptop for under $1000. It does come with excellent tools from writing,to video editing . Nice, bonus subscription trials came with mine such as Apple Music, Apple TV+, Games Etc. Finding a nice capable laptop under $1000 that can hold it's on , is rare. Though I'm not using this was it was possible to run newest Windows inside this through emulation. However , I have decided to keep this MacOs. Only bummer is that games like Mortal Kombat One on Steam do not support MacOs by default. Something to hope to see more developers support MacOs especially M1 on. It will come with charger though I did upgrade to faster charger. Overall, this is great laptop for many and did see options for iPhone and iPad integration mirroring etc. You do have option to upgrade storage ,size etc. For me though I care about portability so that's why stuck with 14 inch. Storage was 256 is aok for normal usage. However, if you are downloading big videogames they will take up lots of space. Most people do use some sort of cloud ie iCloud. However you could buy external drives for storage. I think this a great laptop that could buy for any friend or family member and they will love it, for what it is able to do.

    This MacBook Air M4 is a beast! It’s insanely fast apps launch instantly, multitasking is smooth, and the battery life seriously lasts all day. The display is super clear and vibrant, and the whole design feels premium and light. I upgraded to 16GB RAM and it handles everything I throw at it, even editing and design work. Every time I use it, it feels like using the future. If you’re thinking about upgrading don’t hesitate. Apple really knocked it out of the park with this one.

    From Windows to Mac: A Seamless Transition

    If you’ve been a long-time Windows user like me, this is a laptop you can switch to without fear — and one you’ll quickly realize you never want to leave. The MacBook Air M4 (13-inch) is simply a device you’ll fall in love with. The biggest criticism of Macs has always been their so-called “limitations,” but in reality, I found the restrictions to be minimal. I was able to install everything I needed directly from the internet without any issues. On top of that, you’re getting what Windows laptops can rarely match: incredible battery life, outstanding portability, powerful performance, and premium build quality. At this price point, it’s almost impossible to find another laptop that combines all of these strengths. Unless you’re planning to play very large, demanding games, the Air is perfect. For casual gaming, watching shows and movies, or getting all your work done, this is the laptop. You don’t need to keep searching — this one checks all the boxes.

    I highly recommend this laptop. It's very lightweight, has a sleek design, multiple colors to choose from to meet everyone's needs, long battery life, & it also has the perfect screen size. I compared a lot of different laptops (HP, Apple, Dell, Microsoft, etc.) before deciding to purchase this one, and this laptop gives me everything I need for an amazing price. I also love that I can sync my iPad with this laptop so I have an extra screen to work with, & I use this feature every day. You are definitely getting your moneys worth when you buy this computer.

    Switching from my old, overheating MacBook Pro to the new MacBook Air 13-inch with the M4 chip has been life-changing. Tasks that used to crash or crawl on my old laptop now fly—apps open instantly, multitasking is smooth, and I don’t have to worry about random restarts anymore. The lightweight design and all-day battery life let me move freely without being chained to an outlet, and the Retina display makes everything look sharper and brighter. Best of all, it stays cool and quiet, so I can focus on my work (and creativity) without distraction. This MacBook Air hasn’t just given me a faster computer—it’s given me back my productivity, peace of mind, and excitement to create. If you’ve been holding onto an old MacBook, upgrading to this model is like stepping into the future.

    I love this MacBook Air 13”. It’s really light, runs fast, and the battery lasts all day! Perfect for work, school, or travel. The screen is crisp, the keyboard feels great, and it’s completely silent. Only wish it had more ports, but overall, it’s a fantastic laptop! I’m loving my sky blue color too!

    The MacBook Air M4 has been the perfect companion for both my school and work needs. It’s incredibly fast and responsive. I can run multiple tabs, apps, and documents at once without any slowdown. The M4 chip handles everything smoothly, from writing papers to joining video meetings and managing spreadsheets. Battery life is outstanding and I can go all day without needing to recharge, which is ideal for long days on campus or working remotely. It’s also lightweight and easy to carry in my backpack, so portability is a huge win. The keyboard feels great for typing, and the screen is bright and crisp, making it easy to read and focus for long periods. I also love how well it works with my iPhone and iPad, switching between devices is seamless. Overall, it’s a smart investment for anyone juggling school and professional work. Highly recommended!

    MacBook M4

    I just got the 13” MacBook Air M4 in Starlight to start college with, and I seriously couldn’t be happier with it. First off, the Starlight color is so nice in person—kind of like a soft gold that’s super clean and stylish without being too flashy. It feels like a little upgrade from the usual silver. I’ve been using it to prep for school—setting up my classes, doing some writing, and just getting organized—and it runs really fast and smooth. I’ve also had Netflix, music, and a bunch of tabs open at the same time and it never lagged. It just handles everything so well. What I love most is the battery life—this thing lasts all day and then some. I don’t feel like I have to keep it plugged in constantly, which is great since I’ll be moving around campus a lot. And it’s super light, so it’ll be easy to carry in my backpack without feeling weighed down. Overall, I feel like this was the perfect choice for starting college. It’s reliable, lightweight, looks amazing, and just makes getting stuff done way easier. Definitely recommend it to any other freshmen trying to find a solid laptop!

    I love my new computer. The last one I had was a 2017 macbook air. It's now 2025. Needless to say it was a snail. I looked at these for the longest, not sure if I should go new or refurbished or open box. I chose open box "good". But honestly it was "excellent". I didn't see a scratch on it and saved myself $100. Performance for what I do is perfect. It's super fast, can handle the things I need it for, battery is awesome, all that. I'm super satisfied with my purchase.

    I’ve been using the MacBook Air for a few weeks now and I’m seriously impressed. It’s incredibly light and easy to carry, but still feels solid and well-built. The screen is bright and crisp, the keyboard is super comfortable to type on, and the battery life easily lasts me all day. It’s perfect for work, browsing, and streaming.
