Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great purchase a fast, light, and sleek computer that can tackle any task.

It's exactly what I needed for school. Light weight, size perfect for carrying and good looking. Love the color.

Great option for working students. Easy to carry around and works speedy.

Excelente computer. Almost the same performance of M4 Macbook Pro, but lighter. The display could be a little better - but there would be no Macbook Pros then.

Good Mac book not hard to use and the battery life is great I haven’t had any problems yet.

It’s lightweight with excellent battery life and a great screen. And like everything Apple makes it just works.

Good battery life, light weight, great screen display, keys are quiet.

Sleek, stylish, light and powerful Bought this for my wife to upgrade her m1 air and dang this thing is so light and fast I’ve considered trading my M1 Pro in on one

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.

Great product. Easy to set up.Good battery life. Easy to use

I love the Sky Blue color on my MacBook Air! Even the charger cord is with a hint of Sky Blue. This is my 3rd MacBook, and it’s the fastest that I ever had.

I originally had a 2019 Macbook Pro that broke and needed to be replaced. I do both work and photoshop on my laptop and needed a computer with high performance. I ended up going with 16 GB RAM and 512GB storage. It was so easy to transfer my files and it only took 30 minutes to transfer over 20k documents. The battery life is great and I couldn’t be more impressed with its performance and easy portability. I honestly like it more than the Macbook Pro!

absolutely love my macbook!! i use it every day for classes, studying, and even gaming. i could literally use it the entire day and there is still some battery left by the end of it. also the sky blue is gorgeous

Perfect size and speed for what was needed. Great color too. In stock and easy to set up.

The laptop is awesome. It’s the perfect laptop for myself. The speed is ok but the overall experience is worth it.

good quality, works perfectly for school, editing and other activities. good price, no lag, battery lasts full day without being plugged in.

This was a massive upgrade from my MacBook Air M1, which I gifted to my son, who uses it for schoolwork. The battery life is amazing, and it runs everything on demand. For external monitors, I recommend buying a Thunderbolt dock that can handle 4K > 60 Hz refresh rate. Due to display limitations, my Apple dock can only display at 60 Hz on my 2K monitor, not 144 Hz. Keep this in mind if you have one or two monitors. I use this laptop mainly for coding and personal work. It's super quick with AI as well.

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.

Great battery life and I love the new sky blue color. Everyone was very friendly and helpful at Best Buy when explaining the differences between laptops.
