Had an intel MacBook Pro before and this Macbook Air feels way faster and lighter. It’s great for video editing, audio multitracking, and graphic design. I love it. This computer is a deal. Very happy with the purchase. Only downside to the air model is less ports…but nothing a usb hub can’t fix. Great deal at Best Buy with the price and trade in option.

Battery lasts a long time. The speed of the laptop is perfect for my use. The color is light, the laptop is not heavy, it’s a nice shape!

My 2019 MacBook Air crashed and didn’t want to charge back up. I needed a replacement asap as my college papers were backed up and the lovely thing about Mac is u sing in and it’s all there. Like I never missed a thing. The processing speed is amazing and love the color. Wish I got this one for my son but he got the 2024 MacBook 15” and he likes this color instead of dark blue and wants smaller screen too. Might have to upgrade his. Don’t hesitate to buy

Very good laptop, fast, thin, great battery and design. Enough for almost anything you can do.

First off, I love the starlight color it’s so pretty and I love how sleek and thin it is. I had the MacBook Pro before the 2020 version with the Touch Bar and it kept over heating so I decided it trade it in for a MacBook Air. Let me just say I do not regret! This computer is just as fast as the pro. I use it for school work and I haven’t had any issues with it! I recommend!

Love this computer! It is beautiful and works exceptionally well! The sky blue option is so pretty. It’s almost a silver, but has a light blue tint. I ordered a clear blue tinted case so that I can still see it and enjoy the color!

Using the MacBook Air M4 (16/512 GB, silver) has been the easiest laptop experience so far: it feels insanely fast for everyday work, stays cool and quiet, and the battery just refuses to die even on long days. The design is classic and minimal, and the silver finish looks clean and professional without showing fingerprints as badly as darker colors, plus the machine is so light that tossing it in a bag barely feels like adding weight. The M4 chip makes everything from dozens of browser tabs to light photo editing and coding feel instant, and the 512 GB storage is a sweet spot where there’s enough room for apps, documents, and a good chunk of photos without constantly worrying about space. The display is sharp and bright enough for indoor and coffee‑shop use, the speakers sound surprisingly full for such a thin laptop, and the keyboard and trackpad are genuinely comfortable for long writing sessions. On the downside, the limited ports mean living the dongle life if you use multiple peripherals or external displays, and if you push heavier creative workloads you might eventually want more RAM or a Pro‑level machine, but as a daily driver for studying, remote work, and travel, this configuration feels like a great balance of performance, portability, and polish.

The MacBook Air is hands down one of the best laptops I’ve ever owned. It’s incredibly lightweight and sleek, making it perfect for working on the go, yet it delivers impressive performance that easily handles everyday tasks, multitasking, and even more demanding applications without slowing down.
The battery life is outstanding—I can go an entire day without needing to charge, which is a huge plus. The display is crisp and vibrant, the keyboard is comfortable for long periods of typing, and the trackpad is smooth and responsive. Everything just works seamlessly, especially when paired with other Apple devices.
If you’re looking for a reliable, powerful, and beautifully designed laptop, the MacBook Air is absolutely worth it. I highly recommend it to students, professionals, and anyone who wants performance without the bulk.

I bought the MacBook Air M4 as a replacement for my M2 version. I liked that the price had decreased, plus Best Buy had it on sale, and that 16GB RAM was now standard. I also liked that Best Buy allowed me to trade in my old MacBook Air and use it towards the purchase. Also liked that Best Buy offered a payment plan so I could spread out the cost over a year with my Best Buy credit card. Plus I could pick it up within hours.
I now own a MacBook Air that is more future proof and a bit faster. The M4 chip is fast and probably more powerful than I need for my simple tasks, but I like the fact that it does have more power if I do some photo editing. I mainly upgraded from M2 to M4 to get the 16GB RAM and since my M2 MacBook Air had a good trade in value, it made it a good deal. The M4 MacBook Air will last me for many many years

I absolutely love my MacBook Air 13”. It’s incredibly lightweight, thin, and easy to carry around, making it perfect for work, travel, and everyday use. The performance is outstanding. everything runs smoothly, from multitasking and web browsing to coding, photo editing, and streaming.
The battery life is one of my favorite features. I can easily get through a full day without worrying about charging, which is a huge plus. The screen is bright and sharp, the keyboard feels great to type on, and the trackpad is super responsive.
Overall, this laptop is fast, reliable, and beautifully designed. It’s a great investment if you’re looking for power, portability, and quality in one device. Highly recommended!

My first Mac computer and I love it! Easy set up and so user friendly. Especially if you’re used to iPhones and other Apple products. Had to get a new computer several years ago because of windows 10 and now was being forced to get another new computer because of windows 11. Hoping to get off the windows updates carousel. The starlight color is beautiful!

I have been using this laptop for the last 2 months and a half and I must say, I am impressed. As a new Apple user, I wasn't sure what to expect but I took the chance and I am happy I did.
I use this Mac book to for school so I do assignments, write papers, explore research topics, create PowerPoints etc. on it. The processing speed is superb, the build quality is truly a top of the line, the display is pleasant, to speakers are clear, I love the fingerprint scanner and the battery life is outstanding!! Another huge plus is it's weight and portability, it is light and small enough to carry to school everyday while being powerful enough to handle the rigors of a science major's workload.
My only con about this purchase is the way some Microsoft applications run on it. As I have only used Windows PCs in the past, I did realize there are certain capabilities I had on Microsoft OS that I don't have on MacOS when it comes to editing Word documents, PowerPoint and Excel e.g. limited copy and paste options, symbol selections and formating capabilities. The hurdles are not impossible to get over but be aware of this if you primarily use Microsoft Applications for work or school. Some suggest Google docs as an alternative as it works a bit better with the MacOS system.
Important Tip: I recommend if you are having any issues reach out to Apple Support to get assistance and always keep your OS up to date. Some of the issues can easily be fixed with a software update.
Regardless of this small draw back, I am very happy with my purchase. It took me a little while to learn this new interface but now I am loving it!
Don't be afraid to try something new and don't be too quick to give up when things get uncomfortable :)
