    The box was a little scuffed and marked. But the laptop itself is perfect for school. Camera is great, audio is clear, and the display is wonderful. Not to mention the great battery life. Runs everything I need it to. The price can bite, but for me it’s justified by the compatibility with my other devices, the Intelligence program, and the care that Apple gives its customers. The midnight color, as awesome as it looks, does love fingerprints, so bear that in mind. The keyboard is basic, nothing wrong with it, but just not as comfortable for me as other laptops. Overall it’s a pretty nice upgrade from the M3, with better base specs and a cheaper cost. So if you’ve been looking at that one, just get the M4!

    This device is absolutely fantastic! I am particularly impressed by its sleek design; it has an exceptionally modern and elegant appearance that stands out. The smooth lines and polished finish not only enhance its aesthetic appeal but also give it a premium, high-quality feel in my hands. It's truly a stylish addition to my collection of gadgets, effortlessly blending functionality and elegance. On top of its stunning design, the performance is remarkable as well. The powerful processor, combined with ample memory, ensures that I can easily run multiple apps simultaneously without any lag. Whether I’m browsing the web, streaming videos, or multitasking between various applications, the device handles everything smoothly, making it a joy to use. Overall, this gadget has exceeded my expectations in both form and function.

    This M4 laptop in its simplest form is the best MacBook you can buy right now for MOST people. The value to price proposition is unmatched. I also came from an M1 MacBook Pro, and this is far superior at the base configuration. Truly incredible, light, and ultra portable. It is the perfect laptop.

    Had a MacBook early 2015 before upgrading to the M4. I had to get a new laptop because my screen cracked and it wasn’t worth the price to fix, so I was very hesitant about which model to buy. After a lot of research, m4 seemed like the most economical choice and best investment. I still had my doubts about whether it was worth the price tag, especially since my early 2015 air was working just fine before the crack. However, there definitely is a noticeable difference in the overall function of the computer. (For reference, I upgraded to 512gb storage after having 256gb memory). This laptop runs faster & cleaner, with no issues opening multiple apps, even if one of them involves data analysis. No slowness, no lags, doesn’t heat up quickly, and battery lasts a while. Camera is crazy sharp as well, and moves with you as you move your head on FT, Zoom, teams, or other video conferencing apps. No issues with sound or mic use either on these apps so far. No regrets upgrading to the higher storage option - I desperately needed it and didn’t even know it, so I’d recommend doing that too if you keep getting that “not enough storage” message now. The only con (and annoyance) for me is that the usb ports are all usb-C, so normal flash drives and older phone chargers won’t plug in without an adaptor. I also think it should be cheaper, but that’s my issue with Apple in general lol and I’m hoping it lasts long.

    Bought for my fiancée for her residency. She is always using her laptop. I figured it was time to get her something with a little more power but still sleek and beautiful. This was perfect. The M4 chip has plenty of power and the 13 inch screen is big enough while still allowing a lightweight feel when carrying it around. She has had zero complaints and says it was an extremely significant upgrade from her M2 chip.

    Macbook air for the win !!

    Overall verdict: It offers an excellent combination of impressive speed for everyday use, great battery life, and high portability. It's a top contender among laptops for general use, though it is not the ideal machine for intensive gaming or demanding professional creative work. Gaming and performance for you ? The M4 chip provides a performance boost for tasks like photo editing and can handle less graphically intensive games or those optimized for Apple silicon. However, its fanless design means performance can be throttled during extended, demanding gaming sessions, and many major games lack native macOS support. Should you buy? It's a fantastic, reliable machine that offers good value, especially if you're upgrading from an older Intel or M1 Mac. If you're upgrading from an M2 or M3 Air, the performance difference is minor, so the upgrade may not be as significant unless the new features, like support for two external displays, are important to you.

    MacBook Air Purchase from Best Buy - Best Choice!

    Purchased my MacBook Air 13 inch as I travel often and it is small/light and portable. Find it easy to slip in and out of my travel bag and small enough that I don't notice. Newer M4 provides plenty of power and 16GB or ram provides enough memory for 95% of my day to day laptop needs. Consider purchasing Best Buy's Total membership which provides AppleCare coverage (must maintain your Best Buy Total subscription for two years). AppleCare+ for this laptop is $199 however Best Buy Total subscription is $179 (which includes AppleCare+ coverage) so it makes sense to purchase the Best Buy Total Membership and save $20 and get Total Member benefits as well.

    Best Upgrade from Windows

    What can I even say? After replacing my old Windows laptop for this M4 MacBook, I might never look back in terms of how portable, lightweight, and fast this thing is. I continue to use my Windows Desktop for gaming and other activities but to have a speedy and portable device that blends right into the Apple Ecosystem, it’s honestly a must-buy for new consumers. Storage can be quite limiting for some and especially expensive, but if you have the budget, I’d absolutely recommend a MacBook!

    It's a great product and Macs are super-easy to use. While there is a price premium vs. Windows computers, I find that washes out given the longer usable life of MacBooks. My previous MacBook was six years old and still performing reasonably well. I've never been able to make a Windows computer last that long, even with upgrades. Also, the battery life is phenomenal - the battery monitor reads 20+ hours when fully charged. I only charge it every 2-3 days. The buying process was easy at Best Buy, and I was able to get an excellent price even though I got it on release day.

    I was in the market for a good reliable laptop that I could use for video editing on the go, as well as some light video recording and decided to try a Mac. Im happy I did. This thing is POWERFUL. Not only that, the M4 chip allows for aome seriously strong battery life. Heavy usage, im getting about 2-3 days out of this thing, and light to moderate… pretty much a week. Color me impressed. If you’re in the market for a solid laptop that can take pretty much anything you throw at it, start here. The M4 airs are super powerful machines.
