    Apple has powered the laptop with it's latest M3 processor which has enabled me to do multitasking efficiently. It is also powered with Apple intelligence on which I am yet to try hands on. I am exited to try the apple intelligence given the potential that it has. The sound quality is great and so does the video quality. I have experience no lags or issues with the screen refresh rate. The power tag this laptop has is sufficient for doing multitasking, programming, running emulators, and so much more. I 13" version is easily portable and I can carry it with ease anywhere, powering me to use the laptop at any place without any difficulties in carrying it.

    Very fast! Works great for my 3D printing software. Battery life has not been an issue. Not on it to much but i have gone few days without having to charge it. Display is what you would expect out of a Mac as well.

    When needing a computer LAST minute due to my other one finally deciding it was ready to retire- finding an open box at my local Best Buy was the best possible option. It works perfectly. Color is lovely too!

    My old MacBook Pro from 2012 is running a bit slow, so I decided to get an upgrade. I wanted something smaller and The MacBook Air 13” was a pleasant surprise. It’s sturdy and compact, just what I wanted. I love the metal construction, not the cheap plastic. The inside consists of a fast M3 chip, flawless in its excellent performance. I Love the color!!

    The guys at my local Best Buy store were so helpful and awesome! They helped us exchange my computer for the one that my major required at college. They priced matched the item and they also offered me the Apple care. Thanks a lot! Ari, Bloomington-Normal, IL.

    The new MacBook Air I recently acquired has been functioning impeccably. Its outstanding performance and consistent battery life enable me to work uninterrupted for an extended period. The new keyboard design has successfully resolved the issues associated with the Butterfly keys, providing a typing experience that is both effortless and enjoyable. Highly recommended!

    The MBA M3 13 is better than the previous versions. I owned the last two and could tell the difference in terms of speed and responsiveness. I highly recommend this beautiful and powerful machine. No regrets for upgrading from M2 to M3.

    In the past buying a new computer or iPad has not been a good experience for me since I am not very computer savvy. However, the time I spent at Best Buy on May 12th was an absolute delight. The moment I arrived I was introduced to the nicest guy. I explained precisely what I needed and he showed me his suggestion and comparisons as well that were higher and lower priced. He followed up at the end by revisiting all my needs and making sure the laptop I bought fulfilled all my needs. He was an excellent listener and knowledgeable about what he was selling. The bonus feature is how slim and stealth it is. It is akin to a modern sculpture!
