I recently purchased the 15-inch MacBook Air, and it has exceeded all my expectations. The design is super thin and light, but with the larger screen, it feels like a true portable workstation. The Liquid Retina display is bright and sharp, perfect for watching videos, editing photos, and working for hours without eye strain. With the Apple M2 chip, everything runs fast and smooth, even with multiple apps open. The battery easily lasts me all day, which is a big plus for remote work. It's also very quiet: no fan, but it never gets too hot. Ideal for students, content creators, or professionals who need performance without carrying a heavy laptop. Highly recommended if you're looking for a powerful, modern, and reliable device.

I upgraded from my 2015 MacBook Air to the new 2025 MacBook Air, and the difference is incredible. The 15-inch screen feels huge thanks to the thin bezels, and the display quality makes everything from work to streaming look stunning. The keyboard is the perfect size, with a smooth feel and backlighting that’s great for late nights. I also love the oversized trackpad it makes navigation effortless. Despite the larger screen, the laptop is still lightweight and sleek. It almost looks like a MacBook Pro but remains thinner and more portable. Performance is lightning fast, and when the battery runs out, it powers back on within seconds once plugged in, so I can get right back to work! One feature is the ability to mirror and control my iPhone directly from the laptop it’s super convenient for multitasking. Apple’s build quality and reputation for long lasting devices give me confidence this will easily last a decade. Yes, the price is an investment, but the speed, design, and features make it absolutely worth it. If you’re thinking about upgrading, don’t hesitate this MacBook Air is the perfect balance of power and portability.

I'm completely and utterly in love with my MacBook. It is so beautiful, and even though it's the 15" version, it’s incredibly light and easy to carry everywhere! It works perfectly and feels so comfortable and user-friendly. I bought it with an English keyboard (I'm from Colombia), and even then it was super easy and intuitive to use!
I’ve been an Apple user for a long time now, but it never stops amazing me how they keep improving and how much their products evolve from generation to generation. Truly a great purchase!

This M4 MacBook Air is one of the best laptops I have ever owned. No fan, super fast, reliable, and a great screen.
If you have owned a M1 MacBook Air, this is the upgrade to get. If this is your first Mac, you'll love it.
I'm especially fond of the keyboard, long batter life and if you plug in an extra monitor, you can still use the screen display on the laptop.
Thanks Best Buy for the great price!

I got the MacBook Air 15” in Starlight and it’s perfect. Super light, very fast, and the screen looks amazing. The color is beautiful too—simple but elegant. Battery lasts all day. Couldn’t be happier

The battery life is fantastic! I do not have to worry about my MacBook dying on me at school. The laptop functions so quickly, no quirks, and runs so smoothly. I’ve been a MacBook girly for years, but when I started school last year I thought I needed a laptop with Windows, so I bought a Samsung Galaxybook 360, which I liked, but the battery constantly drains fast, it locks up constantly, the Touch ID rarely works. So, going back to MacBook, this MacBook Air M4 works every time with no issues on the Touch ID, I keep tabs open, run Microsoft Word, Excel and play music or videos constantly throughout the day doing homework and work assignments. The MacBook never stutters, locks up, and just flows through any program I’m using. I am able to stay on task, rarely need to charge my MacBook either. The trade off of no number pad on the side, touch screen, being able to flip the screen around to use like a laptop from my other computer was SO WORTH the trade UP to a MacBook again! This is my first Air, I have always used a MacBook Pro, but to be the Air, that M4 chip works wonderfully! I love that it was on sale and I was able to get a 15 inch monitor. The size is great for someone in my 40’s and using Excel a lot, I needed more screen space. It has been the best purchase for school and work yet!!!!! I also love the different color choices, My local Best Buy had them in Starlight and Midnight in stock at the store, it was a hard choice, but I went with the Starlight because it shows less finger prints. Photos included show my MacBook Air M4 15 inch next to my Samsung Galaxybook 16 inch widescreen laptop.

Fast and reliable, This is my first macbook. The battery life is phenomenal, surprisingly never gets warm with just browsing even with multiple, multiple tabs open. The screen quality is also incredible. Looks way better than any laptop even remotely in its price range. The OS is also pretty easy to learn compared to windows. Took maybe a day or two to figure everything out.

This is definitely the best purchase I’ve ever made. 1000/10 would recommend. If you love Apple you will definitely love this Macbook. The 15 inch is the perfect size and it connects seamlessly with my other Apple devices. Definitely should have bought this sooner! Also the starlight color is gorgeous

I couldn't be happier with my purchase. I got this to replace my desktop so i have hooked it up to a 27" monitor. I LOVE that it works seamless with all my other Apple products as well. I'm definitely a fan of a small footprint instead of the big box of my old desktop! Apple is definitely concerns about design and user experience.

I’ve been using the MacBook Air M4 for a while now, and it’s easily one of the best laptops I’ve owned. Apple managed to improve performance without sacrificing what makes the Air special: its slim design, silence, and reliability.
The M4 chip is incredibly fast for everyday use and more demanding tasks alike. Multitasking feels effortless—running multiple tabs, documents, and apps at once doesn’t slow it down at all. Even heavier workloads like photo editing and light video work are handled smoothly, which is impressive for a fanless laptop.
The battery life is outstanding. I can go an entire day without worrying about charging, even with consistent use. This makes it perfect for classes, work, or traveling. The display is sharp and vibrant, making long study sessions or streaming content genuinely enjoyable.
Another highlight is how quiet it is. With no fan noise, it stays completely silent while remaining cool to the touch. The keyboard is comfortable for long typing sessions, and the trackpad remains one of the best on any laptop—precise, responsive, and reliable.

5 Star for laptop - 5 Star for BB employees - 1 Star for BB Support. So far so good! Laptop works great. I have a Mac Studio for home but I needed something for on the go work and Best Buy had a great price. BB messed up on my purchase though because they wouldn’t approve my purchase in FL when I’m from NY, thinking it was fraud. After 25 minutes on the phone, being hung up on and then going to voicemail on the last try… we just put it on my wife’s account. A hour later I get a email from the fraud dept asking me if I was in the store… What?? The Villages Fl employees are awesome and couldn’t apologize enough.

This is my first time using a MacBook, and I’m absolutely obsessed with it! A lot of people told me the switch from Windows to Mac would be difficult and I would hate it, but honestly, it’s been a breeze. I purchased the 15-inch in Starlight, and it’s both crisp and beautiful. The sound quality is amazing, with speakers that are surprisingly powerful. Overall, it was worth every dollar, I’m really happy with my purchase and would highly recommend it!

MacBook Air M4 Review

The M4 MacBook Air is the best choice for portability; it's light as a feather yet handles all my daily tasks with absolute grace. For someone who doesn't need to do heavy video rendering, this is the perfect balance of price and power. I’m impressed by the portability and speed, handling 30+ tabs in Safari alongside Photoshop with no lag. While it lacks the Pro's fan, I haven't noticed overheating, and the 16GB RAM upgrade feels worth it for multitasking. The battery easily lasts a full day, and the speakers are surprisingly rich. However, I do miss having more ports without using a dongle."

The new MacBook Air is a wonder compared to my old Dell. The screen is ultra clear and the colors are vibrant ! I have not yet mastered everything on the keyboard, but Apples website and the Apple Care insurance have already ( and will in the future) school me along. Best buys membership also keeps me up on all the new products that come up , giving me great deals for my purchase
