    The Apple MacBook Air 15" with the M2 chip in Midnight is an absolute game-changer in the world of laptops. From the moment I opened the sleek, minialist box, I knew I was in for something extraordinary. The first thing that strikes you is the stunning Midnight color – it's elegant and distinctive, setting it apart from other laptops. The build quality is as exceptional as you'd expect from Apple, with a slim profile and lightweight design that makes it incredibly portable. But it's what's inside that truly co is a powerhouse, delivering lightning-fast performance for all my tasks, from heavy video editing to running multiple applications simultaneously. With 16GB of memory and a 512GB SSD, I never have to worry about storage or lag. Everything runs smoothly and efficiently. The 15" Retina display is a visual delight, with vibrant colors, sharp details, and True Tone technology that adapts to ambient lighting. Whether I'm working on spreadsheets or watching movies, the screen quality is top-notch.

    A Leap from Intel MacBook Pro to M2 MacBook Air

    Having been a long-time user of an Intel-based MacBook Pro, my switch to the M2 MacBook Air was an eye-opening experience. I was already familiar with the macOS ecosystem, so the transition was seamless, but the difference in performance was immediately noticeable. The M2 chip in the MacBook Air is a powerhouse, offering speed and efficiency that my older Pro model couldn't match. Whether I'm working on data analysis, editing high-resolution images, or managing multiple applications, the M2 Air handles it with remarkable ease and without the fan noise that often accompanied heavy tasks on my Pro. The battery life is another significant upgrade; it lasts impressively longer, allowing for extended work sessions without the constant need for a charger. The design is sleeker and more portable too, making it an ideal companion for on-the-go tasks. The only minor downside is the tendency for the exterior to gather fingerprints, but it's a small trade-off for such a high-performing, lightweight machine. Overall, upgrading from an Intel MacBook Pro to an M2 MacBook Air has been a decision I haven't regretted - it's a perfect blend of portability, power, and endurance.

    After a few trips to the Geek Squad to transfer my information from old computer to new, I finally was able to start working on it. I use photoshop a lot for my work, so I am happy with the larger size and light weight as I take it everywhere I go. It seems faster as well. I do highly recommend it.

    Perfect Notebook for me, ideal for travel too

    Perfect laptop computer! Very powerful (for my needs) all day battery and very thin and light. Has the high quality Apple feel. Surprisingly did not cost more than ultra premium windows notebooks that felt of similar quality. The M2 CPU seems to run forever, literally all day for me. I use my computer mostly to to IT consulting work. So Office apps, Zoom meetings, lots of web browser tabs open researching things, and remote'ing into other systems to work on them as well as a VDI desktop provided to me. I paid for more RAM (16GB) because of the number of apps I have open and tabs in browser that are open (typically 20+ tabs in multiple browsers). 512GB SSD is more than enough storage for my needs but I feel 16GB/512GB should be a minimal config. I was initially not sure about the Magsafe power connector but decided that its is better than only USB-C as my M1 AIR had. Overtime the USB-C socket on my old computer became worn out and looses. Magsafe stays firmly in place and also pops off easily when I needs to. Plus I get 2 USB ports to use for peripherals instead of just 1 (when the second USB on the old Mac was always charging the Mac). Also, if you wnt to leave your notebook charge brick and magsafe on your desk you can still charge via USB0C. I travel with a small 2 port 65w Anker charger to charge my Mac and cell phone when I travel for a day or 2. Anker stays in travel bag, Apple Magsafe stays at my desk. I like that this also still has the old school 1/8 audio plug for headphones and that I'm not forced to use Bluetooth and thus need to charge batteries in earpods or other bluetooth headset. Finally after owning several silver classic color Macs I really love the Midnight color of this Mac, which is a very deep blue that look nearly black. I'm not sure how the M3 version of this laptop could possibly improve the design so I say spend a bit less and get M2.

    Very pleased with the new Macbook Air. The screen colors and resolution are sharp, the keypad is easy to use so typing is easy (and I'm not a good typist) and it's thin and lite so it fits into my standard sized backpack. But best of all it's fast. Loads MS Office suite programs and all internet sites very quickly. It's a little pricey, but the 16 g of memory and larger screen are a good upgrade.

    Couldn't decide between the 15" Macbook Air or an entry level 14" Macbook Pro. Was able to snag the 15" Macbook Air on sale which made the decision easier; upgraded to 512GB HD and 16GB Memory. I don't need the Pro as I'm not doing any video editing or specialized software. Love how portable the Air feels and how long the battery lasts on a single charge. Doesn't have all the bells and whistles that the Pro has, but plenty for what I need.

    Best Mac I've ever owned.

    This was a replacement to my 2016 Macbook Pro. I was considering a Pro again because screen size is important to me, but the 16" MacBook Pro is incredibly expensive. This 15" MacBook Air fit the bill on screen size, but I was skeptical about how it may handle things like photo editing. Outside of that, all of my uses are basically web surfing, streaming, and general MS Office tasks. The air handles photo editing better than my old Pro. I got a great deal on it at Best Buy, so even with upgrading the RAM and SSD, it was still far less than the base 16" Pro. It's super lightweight and has a great form factor. I went with the black. It does pick up fingerprints, but I don't care. I've been so sick of looking at silver and space gray that I welcomed the black. The limited ports are not an issue. I bought an adapter for the few times I may need an HDMI or USB A port. I've now been a Mac user for 15 years. I couldn't imagine going back to a PC. I would venture to say that for 95% of users, the Air will meet their needs and save them some money.

    First of all the battery is 10x better than my 2019 model with the Intel processor. It runs just as fast If not faster too all while being lighter, thinner, and having a much crisper display. The color is impeccable. Can't recommend this enough. Bought the 15" model with 16gb ram. Worth every penny. Used everyday for work applications

    If editing video isn’t something you do on a regular basis, get this one instead of the pro model. I have both and I think this Air runs as smoothly as the pro, in addition, it is lighter in weight, the audio sounds better…so many perks. A plus plus!

    1.5 Years Later—Still One of My Best Tech Purchase

    I bought my MacBook from Best Buy about a year and a half ago, and it’s honestly still one of the best tech purchases I’ve ever made. After using it daily for work, study, and personal projects, I can confidently say it holds up incredibly well. The performance is just as smooth as day one. Whether I’m designing, coding, or just multitasking across a dozen tabs, it never slows down. The battery life is still strong, and I’ve never had any hardware issues or hiccups. The screen is stunning, the build is sleek and durable, and macOS continues to run flawlessly. Even after all this time, I’m impressed by how reliable and efficient this machine is. I bought it at Best Buy and had a great experience—the staff helped me choose the right model, and everything from purchase to setup was smooth. It’s refreshing to invest in a device that actually stands the test of time. If you’re looking for a laptop that lasts, this MacBook is 100% worth it.

    I was thrilled when Apple introduced the 15" MacBook Air, and this model does not disappoint. The MacBook Pros previously were the only models to feature a larger screen, but most average users do not need all the performance that comes in the MacBook Pro. In my opinion, the 15" MacBook Air hits the perfect sweet spot. It has all the horsepower you need to do your everyday tasks, and some heavier lifting stuff as well if you want to try something new. I got my 15" MacBook Air with 16GB of memory as I intend on using this laptop for 7+ years and the extra memory is going to come in handy. I highly recommend this laptop to anyone that is on the fence about it. It has a beautiful screen, a great keyboard, a great touchpad, touch ID built in, and MagSafe charging! There's a lot to love in this machine.

    It's a great laptop. Fast, light and responsive. The midnight color attracts fingerprints like crazy and easy to scratch at the charge port and USB-C ports, but BB doesn't sell the 16gb in other colors. Never buy the base model. Always upgrade to 16gb. You can't do it later.

    Return to mac after 20 years. A nice re-entry!

    Not too much to say what hasn't been said already. I haven't used a Mac in about 20 years, so it took a while to re-adjust. I still have to google things a lot when I'm lost or want to do more power-user things. It's a snappy machine, with amazing battery life. I've been so used to only 6hrs on PCs (even with 80+Wh batteries) for so long, it's almost a revelation. I love the magsafe connector. Wish all devices could use that. The screen color quality is very good with my preferred 16:10 ratio, and the speakers are just as good as my 2022 XPS 15. I think the Mac has a bit better mid-low end though. As for some downsides: Only supporting 1 external monitor, even if the internal one is off is kind of bewildering. Seems to have decent graphics performance. Surprised it can't even handle 2x 1080p screens with a thunderbolt 3 dock, but it can only support just 1 monitor. That's some bizarre hardware limitation. Only having 2 USB-C ports isn't terrible, but would be nice to have a 3rd on the other side too. Speaking of both items above, disappointing they aren't thunderbolt 4, but that requires a minimum of 2 external monitors at 4K. Get the 16GB version at the very least!! With just the desktop I'm using/allocating 8-9GB! If you get the 8GB version, it will have to start compressing and/or use SSD swap space, reducing performance and quickly wearing out the SSD. Recommend getting apple care+ if you get the 8GB version. Disappointing it costs us 15x Apple's cost for that extra 8GB. But that's nothing new. Overall though I'm pretty pleased with it and has been a good experience returning to Mac.

    Was a replacement for my wifes windows gaming laptop. used it for video editing and graphic design and this macbook just runs circles around it even with it being just a macbook air. But don't choose the wrong model if you have a little bit of extra money SKIP the base model they are unimpressive and lethargic when you try to do more then a few task's at a time. Once you bump up to the mid level with 16gb ram and 512gb storage or more thats where it outperforms a similar priced windows laptop especially with video and photo editing. If you only have enough for a base model macbook air you'll get better performance and value for your money outta most windows laptops. Overall build quality is excellent and is insanley thin. Transition from windows was easier then we thought.

    Been using PC's for 20 years and since 2020 never again apple silicon is in a class of its own. Now which ever macbook you get make sure you go to slick wraps and get the naked matte series to protect it you can even tell its on. Second if you a normal user you can get away with the 8gb 256gb ssd but you should get the 16gb and 512gb especially if you do things like have open 30 browser tabs and do work on it. Its not a big deal if you don't its just the 8gb is going to constantly use the hard drive as memory shortening its life. Also even the m1 macbook air to most people you can even tell the difference performance. Also don't forget all mac's have a low power mode which with the 15in air I get about 22 hours of battery life which is crazy.
