Customers are saying

Customers love the MacBook Air 13-inch Laptop with M3 chip for its reliable performance, impressive speed, and solid battery life. Its lightweight design and portability are also highly appreciated, along with the sleek design and stunning Retina display. While some users have reported minor issues with connectivity and noted the high price, the absence of heat and sound during operation is a significant advantage. The 16GB RAM and compact size further contribute to a positive user experience.

    I'm really happy with this laptop so far. It's fast, lightweight, and great for everyday tasks like browsing, streaming, and work. The battery life is solid, and setup was easy right out of the box. Definitely a good buy!

    I really love this computer. I have always been a 15 inch Macbook Pro kind of person, but the reality is, for what I use my everyday laptop for, I don't really need that real estate or that power. I still upgraded my SSD and Memory to do some extra tasks, should the need arise, and I'm glad I did. This little computer runs Davinci Resolve very well for the small edits I've used it for, and that is a hefty program. But mostly it's just handling web browsing, email, and lighter tasks, which it is more than equipped for. It's also so much lighter than the 15 inch Pro I have for work, which feels like a blocky monstrosity now that I have the Air. I just really like it. No regrets. Would buy again.

    This is my first MacBook. I was nervous about learning an entire new OS, but after a week of daily use I have got it down. It's fast and responsive. I appreciate the Touch ID. I thought I'd dislike the fact that it's not touch screen, especially for the price, but I've gotten past it. Upgraded from a Surface Pro 7. Impressed. Battery life is excellent. The syncing of my iPhone with my PC has been convenient especially w/ my calendars and multiple school accounts.

    I absolutely love this MacBook Air M3. It is incredibly fast, smooth, and reliable for everything I do — from studying and multitasking to streaming and daily productivity. The battery life is amazing and easily lasts all day, which is perfect for my busy schedule. The laptop is super lightweight and easy to carry, yet very powerful. The screen is bright and sharp, and everything runs quietly with no overheating. I also love the elegant design — the Starlight color looks beautiful and premium. Overall, this MacBook exceeded my expectations. If you want a fast, portable, and high-quality laptop for school, work, or everyday use, this is definitely worth it. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    The Best Air!

    Perfect size and weight to go anywhere, and get stuff done. It's a Macbook, so it's a win! I normally go for the Space Gray, but this time I went Silver -- Because for some reason the Gray was just not available and I got tired of waiting. But the silver is a great color, doesn't hold the fingerprints, easy to clean, etc. I put a skin on it and it looks great. Performance? For my needs -- and most users -- it'll be just fine, it will keep up with you. I actually cashed in my M1 Pro to help fund this purchase, and although initially worried, it doesn't feel like a downgrade at all. In fact, going forward, I may save some cash and stay in the Air territory from now on. Sure I gave up some ports, but you know what? To my surprise, I am not missing them (or the other perks of owning a Pro model). Not a moment of using it goes by that I don't marvel at how far we've come that a laptop can be this slim and this powerful -- Oh, also cool and quiet! You just don't fully realize the impact of that until you DON't have a computer [any PC laptop here] that sounds like a hair dryer, while preparing for Chernobyl.

    I have always love the MacBook Air. I recently upgraded from a 2017 MacBook Air 13inch, to this one. I love how slender it is. The laptop fits perfectly inside any bag. the keyboard is so smooth. I also love how the lights on the keyboard, light up the letters and numbers, and not just around the keys. The screen is so clear and not pix-ly like the old one. I also love that there is more screen and less frame around the screen. I love how fast it runs and just everything about this laptop. It was an unexpected purchase, but it has been an amazing purchase so far!

    Exactly what I needed! I’m a voice-over artist and needed a new machine for recording and processing. Spent about 4-5 months researching and testing before I decided on the MacBook Air. Fantastic aesthetic, extremely user friendly, long -lasting battery and functions very smoothly. Expect this machine to get me about 5-10 years on the smaller projects I work.

    Amazing!!!! Wonderful build quality. Fast, and easy to use. Great addition to your apple product collection for smooth transition between devices. The starlight color is a nice blend that is silverish or light gold depending on the light. I think this color is also best for resisting fingerprints everywhere! I’m a new convert to MacBook after a horrible experience with Lenovo windows reliability. Not going back now!

    I have been using iMac and MacBook products since the early 2000's and have never been disappointed the reliability and performance of a Mac computer. I even tried to switch back to a PC laptop last year at a similar price (Lenovo Yoga 9i) and was greatly disappointed with the poorer performance and poor battery life of that laptop. As always, when I turned the MacBook Air on out of the box, setup was quick and easy, battery life has been outstanding in the past month and the performance is at the high level of quality I expect from Apple products. I also use this laptop going through an online MBA program and it works great for all of the classes I am taking.

    The best purchase I made for my daughter! The battery lasts all day and is super fast, her major is applied mathematics. She loved the starlight color too! The customer service at the store was exceptional and after having to exchange the laptop because of the fact that we needed more memory and storage, the guys there helped us out and price-matched the item to an online retailer, given that the sale price had expired and was no longer on sale. We had one of the most positive experiences shopping at the local Bloomington-Normal store in Illinois.

    I came to this MacBook Air after using a heavy M1 Pro for years, and everything about it blew my mind. It's lighter, has better battery life, and equally good screen. I didn't notice much difference between the Pro's OLED and the Air's luiquid retina, and the 120Hz display doesn't make that much of a difference on a laptop as it does on a phone or tablet. If you're looking for a powerhouse that doesn't break the bank, this laptop has it all

    So, I have used windows laptops all of my life. I was very skeptical that I would like it, but it paired with my Apple Watch and my IPhone 15 Pro Max as well as my airpods pro. This is the best computer I have ever owned. Hands down no questions. The layout can be a bit challenging to get used to but Apple has such a great battery life and a fantastic layout. I use this a computer for school and Ive hooked it up to a monitor with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse. Couldnt ask for a better workstation for basic tasks and school work online. I can even play minecraft and other basic games. 10/10
