College Student Experience as a New Mac User

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 :)

Beast of a MacBook in a Convenient Form Factor

The MacBook Air M4 16/512 is a beast of a machine in a small, lightweight package. We caught a killer deal on trading in our M3 16/512 which looked identical in color and form factors but is NOT the same. The M4 adds exactly the extra processing power (and battery life) needed to make a MacBook Air a worthy contender in ANY work or professional situation including heavy video editing. If you're looking at a MacBook Pro, but want a smaller form factor, you should consider this an excellent option. If you need additional ports, put one of the port adaptors on it like we did. They are available lots of places online and don't cost much. Ours is made by Satechi and looks like it's part of the machine. Pops on and off easily - there when you need it and gone when you don't Matches perfectly. See Image.
Where we see the difference in the M3 and M4 is in Final Cut Pro. Videos that took 4-5 minutes to render on the M3 now render in about 1 minute. Adobe Illustrator runs faster, Photoshop runs faster - honestly anything that is requires any processing power at all is like: Flash and it's done. Very happy with this upgrade

This is a very very good laptop. For the price, it is insane in comparison to other windows laptops and past MacBooks. This MacBook Air is incredible in multiple aspects, one unexpected one however was the insane battery life. It lasts me days without charging. Not only is the product good, the best buy service was also great, never ran into a problem. I enjoy this laptop and plan to use it for college, definitely recomend this for any work you may use it for!

My MacBook Air M4 is an upgrade from my M2. The uni-body case is solid, the size is handy, and the keyboard size is more generous. Inside, it handles all my word processing, data management, web searching and online meetings. Old and new software run smoothly. The price was unbeatable. Now, I’m set for a few more years or longer. Kudos also to the Geek Squad who transferred everything from M2 to M4!

I absolutely love my MacBook Air. It’s lightweight, fast, and incredibly easy to use. The performance is smooth even with multiple apps open, the battery life lasts all day, and the display is clear and vibrant. It’s perfect for work, school, and everyday use. I also appreciate how quiet it is and how seamlessly it works with my other Apple devices. Overall, it’s a reliable, high-quality laptop that’s well worth the investment.

As a new time MacBook user it took some time getting used to, but after a few weeks it was easier. Depending on the color, I had the midnight blue; It shows fingerprints everywhere, not a huge deal just something to be aware of.
The sound is great especially for such a compact device and the display quality is amazing. Doesn’t overheat as long as you clear your cookies, caches and large unimportant files.

So far, I'm very happy with my new MacBook Air 13" M4, 16GB, 512GB SSD! Love the amount of storage space and color (Sky Blue). I used the Geek Squad for the first time during set up with info from my old MacBook Air 13" from 2019 and was very impressed with their professionalism, knowledge and speed to complete.

Before I bought this MacBook Air, I was very indecisive about purchasing this laptop verses a Microsoft Surface Laptop. I had the first generation of the Microsoft Surface Laptop and it lasted me a bit but it did not have enough storage and the battery started to drain fast after 4-5 years. A lot of people were telling me to get the MacBook Air but I was a bit concerned because I did not know how to use a MacBook and thought the transition would be tough from Microsoft. However, it turned out fine and after spending some time with my MacBook, I absolutely love it and am glad I added it to my Apple ecosystem! I also really enjoy the 13" size as it fits in my backpack perfectly and fits in some of my bigger size purses as well. I would definitely recommend!

Works very well and would recommend it to anyone planning on getting a new lightweight efficient laptop

absolutely love my new macbook air, the m4 chip is insanely fast and handles everything I throw at it with ease, from everyday work stuff to heavier creative projects. The 16gb memory makes multitasking super smooth, and I'd definitely suggest upgrading to 512gb ssd just for extra 2gb core gpu. Sky Blue color looks way better in person imo, sleek and modern. Def worth the upgrade this year!

I was looking for a compact computer that allowed me to fulfill my daily office duties with a decent processor (CPU), and I have to say that it really surprised me: pretty efficient and durable, I'll recommend it 100%.

The new MacBooks are powerhouses and will handle anything you throw at it. I’m using it for music production and graphic design and nothing so far has been an issue

Its size is really super practical for working wherever you have to go. I had my doubts about what size would be ideal, but I was more than delighted with the 13-inch one. I really recommend it.

I bought this for my gf. I have an M2. Before that I had an Intel MacBook Pro which is still good for daily use after 10 years!! People know how good M chips are. But after using this one I feel like I’ve should’ve waited longer lol. And she got it just for 750. It was on my doorstep less than 24 hours after ordering it. Awesome
