    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.

    More than I need! I can run as many apps as I want without lag. I need to charge it every 2 days it seems. Very satisfied with the Battery Life. The display is very bright when I need it, and looks gorgeous. Typing feels incredibly nice, the keyboard is so clicky. Center stage on the camera is a very nice feature, since it keeps you in view at all times. The mic is excellent too, with great noise cancellation. And don’t get me started on Apple Intelligence! Everyone says it’s trash, when I think it’s great! Writing tools, Genmoji, ChatGPT integration, the works! It’s all super useful. Its overall form factor is very thin and light, letting me bring it anywhere I please. All in all, it’s an amazing laptop! I would highly recommend it to anyone. Perfect for the price point.

    The M4 MacBook Air is everything I hoped for and more. It’s insanely fast, completely silent, and barely gets warm even with multiple apps running. The battery life easily lasts through a full day of work, and the screen is bright and crisp. Apple really nailed the balance of power and portability with this one.

    This thing handles everything I throw at it– clean, fast, no fan tantrums. I’m running stacked tabs, audio sessions, file transfers, and it’s still cool under pressure. Battery holds up like it’s got something to prove, and the screen? Crisp enough to make you second-guess your old setup. Feels like it was built for motion and lag-less workflow, even when I forget to close things. Lightweight in the hand, heavyweight in capability. If you know how to work, it keeps up. No gimmicks, just flow.

    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.

    I’ve been using the MacBook Air with the Apple M4 chip as my primary laptop for about two months now, and it’s honestly one of the most pleasant computing experiences I’ve had. As a student, the MacBook Air with the M4 chip has been an excellent everyday laptop. It’s lightweight, fast, and reliable — everything I need to get through classes, studying, and assignments without stress. It’s powerful enough for schoolwork and creative projects, light enough to carry all day, and reliable enough to last through long study sessions. If you want a laptop that keeps up with your academic life without distractions, this is an excellent choice.

    I’ve been using this for a bit now and I’m honestly impressed. Setup was quick, performance has been smooth, and everything works exactly how it’s supposed to. The design is clean and modern, and it feels well-built, not cheap at all. What stood out most to me was how seamless the experience has been—no lag, no issues, and it handles everything I need without a problem. Battery life has also been solid, which is a huge plus for daily use. Overall, I’m very satisfied with this purchase and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for something reliable and well worth the price.

    I bought the 13-inch MacBook for my daughter to take with her to college, and it has been an absolutely wonderful choice. From the moment she started using it, everything has run incredibly smoothly. Whether she’s taking notes in class, running multiple apps for her coursework, or just streaming content during downtime, the MacBook handles it all without a hitch. What truly stands out is how smoothly it runs. Whether she’s using it for writing papers, managing online classes, creating presentations, or editing photos and videos for her projects, the performance has been seamless. No lag, no crashes, and definitely no frustrations. Portability was another big factor for us. This model is incredibly lightweight and slim, which makes it perfect for carrying in her tote too. The build quality is excellent, it’s lightweight and easy to carry around campus, and the battery life lasts her through a full day of classes. Best of all she’s had zero complaints, which honestly says a lot! It gives me peace of mind knowing she has a dependable laptop that just works. Highly recommend this for any student heading off to school!

    M4 MacBook Air - Power, Battery, and Portability

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Only one thing about I don’t like is the MacBook Air’s display doesn’t perform as well as the MacBook pros when outdoors. I don’t work outdoors often enough for this to bother me. A balance between lightweight and quality build. The 13” air is still not as light as the old 12” MacBook but the lightest Apple has to offer currently. With the aluminum body, this laptop feels high quality and somewhat light. The M4 is a powerful processor for basic task. I bought this for school and traveling while my M1 16” Pro is reserved for work and heavy-loaded stuff. This laptop has a great battery life for school and a decent display. I am able to get by classes and study a bit with enough battery leftover to not have anxiety. However, I am a light user when I’m in an academic setting so take that into consideration. I’m so happy I can carry this MacBook around and NOT the charger too because campus is so big that any weight I can save will be significant over the course of my day.

    I recently purchased the MacBook Air with the new M4 chip from Best Buy, and I couldn’t be happier! The entire experience from browsing online to picking up in-store was seamless and stress-free. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly, answering all my questions and making sure I got the best deal possible. As for the MacBook Air itself, it’s an absolute game-changer. The M4 chip delivers incredible speed and efficiency, making multitasking effortless. The battery life is phenomenal, and the lightweight design is perfect for both work and travel. Best Buy had it in stock, offered competitive pricing, and even provided quick setup assistance. I’m 100% satisfied with my purchase and highly recommend Best Buy for anyone looking to upgrade their tech. Thank you for making this such a smooth and enjoyable experience!

Thank you Best Buy for giving me exactly what I needed! The MacBook Pro always stands out. The selling point for me is not just one thing, but many. Battery life, processing, and a step above system that delivers high performance. It’s a good day!

    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.

    Honestly, this MacBook is so good. The M4 chip is crazy fast — I can open a bunch of apps, switch between tabs, stream, do school stuff, and it doesn’t lag at all. The battery life is one of my favorite things because it actually lasts all day without me running around looking for a charger. The screen is super clear and bright, and the laptop itself is really light, so it’s easy to carry around. It also stays cool and quiet even when I’m doing a lot. Everything just feels smooth. If you’re thinking about upgrading or you just want something reliable that won’t give you problems, this one is definitely worth it. I’m really happy with mine.

    I am thoroughly impressed with the new M4 MacBook Air. The performance boost is immediately noticeable; multitasking between apps is seamless, and demanding tasks like video editing run incredibly smoothly with the fanless design. It's still remarkably thin and light, making it the perfect portable powerhouse for work and entertainment on the go. The Liquid Retina display is stunning, with vibrant colors and sharp details. The battery life on this laptop is phenomenal. I can easily get through a full workday and an evening of streaming without worrying about finding an outlet.

    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 recently picked up the new MacBook Air with the M4 chip, and the performance is absolutely mind-blowing. Coming from an older Intel Mac, the speed difference is night and day. Everything feels instant, and Apple Intelligence features are actually pretty useful for my daily workflow. The 'Starlight' finish looks amazing—very sleek and professional without showing too many fingerprints. It’s incredibly thin and light, making it the perfect laptop to carry around all day. Plus, the battery life is easily the best I've ever had; I can go a full day of work without even thinking about my charger. The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is the base storage. In 2026, 256GB fills up way too fast, especially if you download a few large apps or photos. I definitely recommend using cloud storage or an external drive. Also, I wish it had one more port on the right side. Aside from that, it's easily the best laptop in its class!

    I love it!! The sound quality is great, it was really easy to connect all of my accounts, and complex programs like Adobe Premiere run smoothly on this Mac! It’s nice and portable, plus, I can do so much more on here than on my phone. The battery life is respectable, and it runs pretty much everything fast. I’ve had some slow laptops before, and this one isn’t even remotely as bad. If you’re fortunate enough to buy one of these, then I recommend it!
