Bought this for my daughter and it runs The Sims 4 perfectly with quick loads and smooth play. The screen looks sharp and bright, the speakers are clear for game audio and videos, and the keyboard and trackpad feel precise for long typing sessions. It wakes instantly, opens apps without hesitation, and stays cool and quiet during homework and light gaming. The build feels sturdy while still being easy to carry, and the Midnight finish looks sleek without showing too many smudges. Out of the box it set up fast, synced her school accounts, and was ready for classes and downloads within minutes.
For everyday school work it is exactly what you want. The battery holds up well through a full day of notes, browsing, and streaming, and charging is quick when you do need a top up. The memory gives room for lots of browser tabs and the storage is plenty for school files, a game library, and photos without constant cleanup. Wireless is fast and stable so assignments upload right away and cloud files stay in sync. If you want a light laptop that handles classwork and a favorite game with ease, this is an easy pick. For the performance, ease of use, and build quality, the price for the quality is good.

This open box MacBook in excellent condition, indeed came in excellent conditions. The battery information was just showing 5 cycles which suggests it is pretty much brand new and has been used for even less than a week. When it comes to the performance, it is just like a new device. Coming from a MacBook m1 16 GB 256 GB, I can tell the difference, especially on my music production workflow and my IT projects in general. I am able to run 2 VMS with a ton of Safari pages whilst still have some ram left and the Mac heating reasonably. Some people might prefer pro models for more performance but I can assure you the air is enough for a lot of profiles

if you want a powerful, portable, and stylish laptop, the macbook air is hard to beat!
I love it's lightweight, sleek , and best part is that the battery life comfortably lasts a full day of work and sometime even more than that. I recommend going for the M series chip for speed and efficiency in multitasking.

The MacBook Air M4 with 24 GB RAM is a very strong choice for anyone who wants a portable, silent, premium laptop that handles pretty much everything except the most extreme workloads like professional video production, or large 3D rendering. It hits a sweet spot in performance + battery life + portability.

I recently purchased the Apple MacBook Air 13-inch with the M4 chip, 24GB memory, and 512GB SSD in Midnight from Best Buy, and I am extremely happy with both the product and the buying experience.
The laptop itself is incredibly fast, lightweight, and perfect for Apple Intelligence features. The Midnight color looks premium, and performance is smooth for both work and multitasking.
A big shout-out to the Best Buy staff—they were very polite, knowledgeable, and helped me get a great deal. They answered all my questions patiently and made the entire process quick and easy.
Highly recommended for anyone looking to upgrade to a powerful and beautiful MacBook!

Speedy, lightweight, and sleek. Feels great using the keyboard. Limited ports, so a USB hub or docking station is advised. Everything you expect from Apple, with very little to worry about.

I’ve been using the MacBook Pro 13-inch with the M4 chip, and it has exceeded my expectations in both performance and portability.
The M4 processor is incredibly fast and efficient. Everyday tasks like web browsing, document editing, and video calls are smooth, and heavier workloads such as coding, photo editing, and multitasking run effortlessly with no noticeable lag. Battery life is outstanding—I can easily get a full day of work without needing to recharge.

The Perfect Laptop

This is by far the best laptop I have ever owned. The battery life on this machine is insane, getting over 10+ hours easily, while also being very fast and quiet (this laptop has no fans, so it is completely silent 24/7).
The build quality of this machine is also superb, it's very light and well built, and Apple recently fixed their Butterfly Keyboard problem so I don't see why this machine can't last you at least 5 years.
The only con about this laptop is the ports, which is fine for me because you can buy dongles for <$20 and have access to a ton of ports. Thermal throttling is another issue, but unless your doing some serious editing, or Software Engineering tasks, you likely won't ever throttle.
Overall this is the perfect laptop for 99% of people, for those who want to do more intensive things like Machine Learning or intense Software Engineering, I would suggest you get the MacBook Pro.

I upgraded from a 2020 M1 MacBook Pro to the M4 MacBook Air 13", and it’s been an amazing upgrade. Everything feels noticeably faster and smoother, even with graphics-intensive work. It stays cool and silent, battery life is excellent, and overall it’s been completely problem-free so far. Very happy with the move to this model.

I love it. Plain and simple. As you'd expect from Apple, the keyboard, touchpad, screen, build quality, and user experience set the standard to measure everything else against. I was curious how this would perform for me, being an Air with no fans (one of the reasons I love it, it is SILENT), but it handles everything from email, web browsing, and Office to running multiple VMs and development tasks with ease. For most of my uses, it barely even gets warm, and the battery life is incredible. I've used both PC (Windows and Linux) and Mac alongside each other for decades, and the M4 MacBook Air has replaced my brownout-inducing gaming laptop for all but, well, gaming (of course). And it does it all silently and effortlessly. If you're a multi-tasker and/or have a lot of data, definitely recommend stepping up to at least the 24GB/512GB model. Speakers and the new webcam are really impressive, too. Oh, and the midnight finish looks really nice, for me doesn't really attract more fingerprints than most other black/metal laptops (go for the classic silver if it might bother you), just make sure you take care of it and clean it regularly, lol.

I’ve been really enjoying the MacBook Air with the M4 chip. It’s quick, completely silent, and just feels smooth no matter what I’m doing. The battery lasts all day, and it’s so light I barely notice it in my bag. It’s one of those laptops that just works and stays out of the way.

The computer itself is super thin and lightweight, it’s very compact and convenient to carry around with me at work, I work at a school so I am always moving room to room with it, and extremely durable. I work hours at a time and only charge it every few days, it has a 24 GB RAM processor as well so I never have to worry about it being too slow.

The Midnight Blue color is gorgeous—sure, it shows fingerprints, but it’s totally worth it. Two Thunderbolt ports plus a dedicated charging port make it super versatile. No HDMI port built-in, but that’s just the way things are going these days, and an adapter solves it easily. What really blows me away is the battery life—it just keeps going, all day and then some, without breaking a sweat. And with no fans, it runs whisper-quiet while sipping power and staying cool…unlike my PC, which doubles as a space heater! I’m seriously impressed.

Great Performance and Battery life! It's also very thin and lightweight and easy to carry around anywhere. Only downside is that this only has 2 USB C ports, a Magnetic charging port and a 3.5mm headphone jack and no extra ports (but you can use a dongle to get them)

The design is sleek, the performance is super fast, and the battery life is just amazing - the most inportant thing for me. It’s so light and easy to carry around. Totally worth it.

I adore how lightweight, thin, and powerful this laptop is. I also love the new light blue color. Although I have a 16-inch MacBook Pro with an M2 Pro chip, I always prefer using this one because of its compactness.

I finally purchased my first Macbook Air 13-inch 500 gb 24 gb RAM with great ThanksgivingDay discount. My workhorse 10 yo Dell Latitude laptop with Windows 10 is no longer supported and will crush any moment so it's really time to upgrade. I had good experience w the salesman who assisted me. I already know exactly what model and specs I wanted so I just needed his opinion on the accessories to go w it like the keyboard, mouse, docking station, etc. This macbook is very lightweight for mobility and super fast in operation. Slowly learning how to navigate this Apple product as it's different from Windows. Overall, I'm very happy w this purchase. Hopeful it will also serve me for another 10 years.

The all black look is really sleek, the build quality is top notch, and the laptop never makes a noise or runs hot. Beautiful high res screen and surprisingly solid performance for my multimedia and software development workflows so far.

This is a great laptop. Very light. It also works really well for almost everything I need. The only issue I have is the number of USB-C ports. I would love to have more.
