Love this MacBook! Super fast, lightweight, and the battery lasts all day. The screen is super clear, and it runs quietly. Great for school and everyday use. Only downside is the lack of regular USB ports, but that’s easy to fix with an adapter. Totally worth it!

Got this computer for school. It has been nothing but great to use. I have an iMac, iPhone, and iPad. So it makes it easy for sharing and finding files saved between devices. I love how lightweight the computer is and how fast it is. My iMac is dinosaur slow and this MacBook is FAST. Not to mention how awesome the battery life is. I also love that it has a USB-C charger now. I did not have any scratches or anything of any sort. It look brand spanking new. I also love the apple benefits such as apple fitness and music!!

Buying a MacBook Air is a smart choice for anyone looking for a sleek, lightweight laptop that delivers strong performance and long battery life. Its powerful Apple Silicon chip (such as the M2 or newer) allows for smooth multitasking, fast app performance, and efficient energy use, making it ideal for students, professionals, and casual users alike. The MacBook Air also features a high-resolution Retina display, a comfortable keyboard, and a premium aluminum design that’s both durable and stylish. With macOS offering excellent security, regular updates, and seamless integration with other Apple devices, the MacBook Air provides great value and a reliable user experience in a portable package.

I have been a Windows user PC-wise for a while, but all of my mobile devices, tablets, and watches have been Apple for at least the last 10 years. I was trying not to be THAT person, but they fit my lifestyle better, and now having the MacBook helps me manage things even more seamlessly. It takes getting used to the shortcuts, but the screen is clear, and I love how lightweight it is. Also, my battery power holds up better than my Windows PC. The only con that I have is the lack of built-in ports for peripherals.

I received this MacBook Air as a gift and couldn’t be happier. It’s super lightweight, the screen is gorgeous, and everything runs so fast with the new M4 chip. Perfect for everyday use, creative projects, and even some light video editing. Battery life is amazing, and the Starlight color is stunning. Highly recommended!

Its thin, light and fast. The battery life rocks. It lasts just as long as my snapdragon laptops while being just a bit faster. The display is sharp, but not great when compared to OLEDs. If you're upgrading from a M1 or M2 system its worth it. If you currently have an M3, you might as well wait for the upcoming M5. I will say that since I've gotten the Asus Zenbook Duo, my MacBook Air has gotten a lot less usage.

The 15-inch screen strikes the perfect balance between productivity and portability, and the display quality is stunning. Battery life easily lasts a full day, even with heavy multitasking. The new Apple Intelligence features feel smooth and responsive. If you value speed, design, and battery life, this is worth every cent

Former Windows PC user is very impressed

I used to work in academia and became proficient with Macintosh computers starting with the original 1984 version. I then entered the corporate world in 1996, leaving Macs for Windows PCs. I used Windows exclusively for many years in my professional endeavors, but I retired recently, and thought I should give MacOS and Apple hardware another go. While I think the Windows ecosystem is well suited to the corporate world, I have come to the conclusion that MacOS running on Apple hardware is better suited to my private (retired) lifestyle. I very much appreciate the seamless integration across my various Apple devices (an iPhone, an iPad, AirPods, AirPods Pro 2, Apple Watch Ultra 2, Mac Mini M4, several AirTags), and find that managing my personal digital life is easier with Apple products. And the best part: I can still work with all of the spreadsheets and Word docs I created when I was still living in Windows land.
The 15-inch MacBook Air M4 is a pleasure to use. It's plenty fast for the tasks I typically perform (visiting web pages, editing Google spreadsheets, reading and composing emails, managing contacts, appointments, and reminders, editing images, etc.). The keyboard is very responsive, the trackpad is best-of-breed, and the display is bright and crisp. I opted to save some money and get the base model (16 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD). I think this option is more than adequate for most casual users. I have installed many apps and have synced my emails, photos, videos, and messages, and I still have over 150 GB of internal storage remaining. In my opinion, when this laptop is on sale there's nothing much to think about -- just do yourself a favor and buy it.

M4 vs Intel

I upgraded from a 2020 Intel MacBook Pro and was worried that switching to a MacBook Air would result in a lack of performance. It has been the total opposite. The M series chip truly are beasts, and have handled everything I’ve thrown at it. The battery life is insane compared to my previous Mac. I also love the bigger screen.

Lightweight, slim and beautiful! Fast processing, screen is bright and speakers are clear even when loud. Bought one for my daughter and had to buy another for my son!
