I bought my MacBook Air 15” from the Best Buy app, and I couldn’t be happier! The screen is big, bright, and so clear — perfect for watching videos and working. It’s super light and easy to carry, but still really fast and powerful. The battery lasts me all day, and it barely ever gets warm. The design is beautiful, the keyboard feels amazing, and the speakers sound great too. Everything about this laptop feels high-quality. Definitely one of the best purchases I’ve made — I 100% recommend it!

I’ve been a Windows and Chromebook user for most of my life, and I must admit, I’ve never had an experience quite like using a MacBook. I bought this device because my gaming laptop was too bulky to carry, and my Chromebook couldn’t handle some of the applications I needed for my homework and courses.
If I’m away from home, and I must say, I’m in love with it, I purchased the MacBook Pro 14” with 16GB of RAM. However, I decided to downgrade to the Air model because the 24GB RAM model was the same price, and I don’t regret the decision.
The Air 15” with 24GB of RAM is slightly lighter in my backpack, has more RAM, and includes two extra speakers that set it apart from the 13” Air. It can handle everything I do without getting warm. Granted, I only do light coding, but I always have multiple apps running in the background, and so far, it has never suffered any performance issues or throttling.
I would highly recommend the Air model over the Pro model if you’re going to use it for school, work, and daily activities. Getting the Air will not disappoint, especially if you upgrade to the 24GB RAM model, which will be a great investment for your future.
The only thing I would recommend is that you don’t put a hard case on the machine. This is mainly because the Air has no fans, and I’ve tried a few cases that trap the heat inside. I even tried a skin for the base and the inside to prevent fingerprints, but I noticed that the machine was still warming up while doing tasks that wouldn’t normally warm it up. So, instead of a case, a good sleeve is a must.
If you took the time to read this review, thank you for your time. Have a wonderful day and week! Remember, you are the greatest, no matter what anyone says!

Upgraded from a 2012 MacBook Pro, and the difference is night and day (obviously). The M4 MacBook Air is unbelievably fast apps open instantly, multitasking is effortless, and the battery easily lasts all day. It’s silent, lightweight, and powerful enough for everything I do. For most people, this is all the laptop you’ll ever need.

The 15-inch MacBook Air is impressively thin, light, and powerful. Its Liquid Retina display is bright and vibrant, and the M-series chip handles multitasking with zero lag. Battery life easily lasts all day, and the keyboard feels perfect for long typing sessions. Whether for work, travel, or creative projects, it delivers premium performance in a sleek, quiet design. A truly outstanding laptop!

I recently picked up the 15-inch MacBook Air with Apple’s revolutionary M4 chip from Best Buy, and it has completely redefined my daily workflow. The midnight finish is both sleek and sophisticated, catching light in the most elegant way. With a whopping 24 GB of unified RAM and a lightning-fast 512 GB SSD, multitasking feels effortless—jumping between video calls, editing high-resolution photos, and streaming my favorite playlists without a glitch. Apple Intelligence seamlessly integrates smart features like live text recognition and on-device Siri, making every task feel intuitive. Despite its powerhouse performance, the Magic Keyboard stays whisper-quiet and the all-day battery life keeps me going from morning meetings to late-night creative sessions.
If you want a laptop that blends cutting-edge tech, stunning design, and absolute reliability, this MacBook Air is an absolute game-changer—highly recommended!

After 10 years of having my old Apple, this was the best choice. I needed a laptop that can help with double screen since my work requires more than one screen. I needed the memory card to be as high as my previous 8GB and this one didn't disappoint me. I love with my choice and it's very lightweight. Lastly, the battery life is really good.

Very nice looking. It’s light in weight and can be easily transported. The keyboard lights up and you can even connect your phone to it! The battery life is great. I usually don’t have to plug it in for a few days.

Liked -
impress by blazing fast performance with M4 chip as it handle everything smoothly, multitasking, gaming and coding
15 inch is best for people wanting to have bright, vivrant and sharp display for work and entertainment
Less upgrade and restart needed unlike windows
Dislike -
Not a gamer choice due to limited games support
If you dislike fingerprints on your laptop, it's an ideal choice to stay away from midnight since it's an absolute fingerprint magnet.

Loving this MacBook Air so far. It’s fast, the screen is huge (but the laptop still feels really light), and everything just works smoothly. The Midnight color looks great in person too. Perfect combo of power and portability. Dig it.

I love my MacBook Air with its 15 inch display. It was easy to set up and was running my favorite apps in no time. The instructions are clear and well written. The battery lasts a long time thus allowing me to move the laptop around easily without needing to chrge it between jobs. Priced very comptitively. Very helpful staff to answer questions before making the decision to purchase.

For this device I love the size portability of it and the battery performance. For a short time I have used it the speed meets my expectations and I love the color.

I really love the M4 MacBook Air! This is my first MacBook ever and I was not disappointed by how fast the performance is and the battery life. I can go through a few days without charging it. It is a great laptop! The worst thing about it is the smudging on the laptop, but if you get a case and clean it very well, it’s not a big deal.

I’ve always been a windows girl but my boyfriend convinced me to give macbook a try since all of my other devices are apple. I purchased this because I am starting school the end of this month & my previous laptop crapped out on me. I haven’t used it too much yet because I haven’t really needed to, BUT sofar i absolutely love it. I love how it links all of my devices together. The sound is incredible. The display is super crisp. It’s fast. And what I’m most impressed by sofar is the battery life. Like I said I haven’t used it too much but since I bought it last month I have only needed to charge it twice (most of my usage was streaming Hulu and just getting familiar with the operating system). I’m very pleased with my decision to switch from windows to MacBook! Overall I would 10000% recommend!

Fantastic in every way. Battery rocks, screen looks amazing, typing easy, it's thin. Terrific product. And Best Buy gives total tech members free apple care + for 2 years. Its a no brainer.

This is my first Mac after three decades of Windows. It also going to serve as my retirement computer. So, yep, I way to the right side on an age-meter. That being said, the Sequoia O/S is freakishly intuitive and a pleasure to experience. No regrets. Even so, I purchased a User Guide for the MacBook Air 2025 (M4). More no regrets. The machine build is fantastic with a definite high-quality tool/instrument feel to it. I look forward to harnessing its capabilities.

This has been running super well. No issues and has run some big programs I've thrown at it. My only beef is the 2 USB C ports that are right next to each other, making it a tight fit if you're trying to connect to both ports. One on the left and one on the right or adding an extra would have been really nice.
