    After using this MacBook Air every sing day for the last month, I can confidently say that I love it. I'm not one to use technical jargon, so I'll just say that the size is perfect, it runs fast, the screen is beautiful, battery life is excellent, and I expect it to perform strongly for years to come.

    The best laptop I have ever owned. It is very fast, the keyboard and track pad are responsive. The screen is clear and bright with a lot of detail. Programs are snappy fast and battery life is second to none. Midnight color does attract fingerprints but mine is in a clear shell. The 15" in very easy on the eyes.

    The macbook air is excellent for everyday usage. The M2 mac is excellent in speed in coordination with 16gb ram. If you are editing videos, making music, or photo editing i would recommend the macbook pro due to the fast chip and cooling fans. Definitely a 9.5/10 laptop!

    The M2 Macbook Air is excellent. Coming from a 15” Macbook Pro, the larger screen size makes it so much easier to multi task with the power and efficiency of the M2 chip. If you want the larger screen size and a lightweight powerhouse, this is the machine for you.

    Jumped back into the Mac pool after 12 years and oh boy, the water's fine! The new MacBook Air with the M2 chip is a total game-changer – sleek as a stealth jet in 'Midnight' and runs smoother than my morning coffee routine. With 16GB of memory and a 512GB SSD, this beauty handles my multitasking mayhem without breaking a sweat. The leap from my old PC to this gem was a breeze, thanks to the intuitive setup and user-friendly interface. It's a 5-star slam dunk from me – the MacBook Air M2 isn't just a laptop, it's a whole vibe!

    Bought this as an upgrade from my 2020 M1 MacBook Pro and well, it's amazing!! The bigger 15" screen makes it easier to see more information and have bigger text when multitasking. Also watching media on this screen is fantastic! The battery can easily last all day, I don't have to worry about carrying a charger with me to school. I highly recommend upgrading the SSD to at least 512GB, it's a pricey upgrade but well worth it. With 256GB it's a challenge to store apps and big documents. Im extremely satisfied with this laptop and BestBuy, they were able to price match Apples Student discount that they offer and I didn't have to wait 2 weeks for it to arrive from Apple.

    Not new as advertised, but the laptop is stellar

    5 syars for the product - The performance is head and shoulders above the i5 version I had earlier. I bought the 16gb version to future proof since macs have a much longer life than a regular pc. The build quality is stellar as expected. And it's amazing how light it is for a 15 inch laptop. In case you haven't already read it somewhere - buy the 512 gb version instead of the base 256. Wont go into details but there is a significant difference in read and write speed. However, taking 2 stars off for best buy- Mine came with cycle count of 1, and with a few smudges suggesting an open box instead of the new as advertised by Best buy. They offered to exchange but there was a long wait time and I had already traded in my other device so didn't have much of an option but to keep it since i needed the laptop for work. In the end I got no resolution from bestbuy which was dissapointing.

    I absolutely love my new MacBook Air 2023. I bought the midnight blue one during black Friday sale. I still had my gaming pc and needed a laptop. Absolutely loving it for my first Macbook. Super easy to learn and It is Very fast, extremely vibrant color. It does not take long to charge and lasts a long time in between charges. The battery seems to last as advertised for approximately 18 hours and you can keep it plug in it will bypass the battery and save its health. The storage on it is more than enough to handle my business documents and apps. iCloud backup is great. This laptop is the best one I have ever owned. You will be making a very good investment with this MacBook Air 2023.

    It’s A Mac

    It’s a Mac. Was using the M1 smaller monitor prior to purchasing this one. The bigger screen definitely makes a difference as far as going to the M2 chip. Yes, I do see a speed advantage specifically with working with multiple spreadsheets so that’s a benefit as well. Overall, my experience has been great. One thing I did notice is the touch ID Works a lot faster on this unit and sometimes a little to fast where with just a brush of your finger your automatically ready to go

    First, I was pleasantly surprised at how light and fast this MacBook Air is. It’s super thin and makes it so easy to travel with this laptop. In addition, I love the more compact charger with a much stronger corded material. So far, the battery life has been excellent! There is no comparison with my old MacBook Pro 15” that seemed to drain the battery so quickly. This is awesome. I love the look of the black laptop but it does have a tendency to show fingerprints and other oily substances more than the silver version. Overall, I’m very happy with the performance of this lightweight laptop for overall business use.

    This is my first Mac in nearly 30 years. It's taken some time for me to re-wire my brain to MacOS after using Windows for so long, but one of the motivators is that this is such a great system! It's so lightweight, easy to use, and has an amazing display on it. Like others say, it is a fingerprint magnet, but it doesn't bother me in the least. I've been trying to edit video on Windows, and it always took forever to render. A comparable video on this takes about 1/5 the time, and since there's no fan, it doesn't sound like I'm running a drone in the room. Well done, Apple!

    We bought this machine for my wife to go back to school for theatre performance and teaching and she constantly raves about how much she loves it. The screen is gorgeous, its light for its size and easy to move around, and all the video work she has to do as part of her program it handles without breaking a sweat.

    This is perfect for my needs. I use it mainly for work with web-based applications and shared files for collaborative projects: word processing, presentation slides, Vizio flow charts, NX studio, etc. The 16gb-memory is just right. It can handle the multi-tasking requirements. The battery life is also excellent. It lasts days for me. It is light weight and easy to carry around. The screen and display is just right for my needs. I had a 13-inch Macbook Pro 8gb previously. I still use it as a back-up. This one is a really good upgrade for me.

    I've been a pc person my whole life. But, Apple on everything else. I finally made the switch for a Mac as my work/school laptop and I love it. I still have a desktop for video games since gaming on Macs is still limited. But for working and everyday use I love my Air. It's fast, reliable, and has an amazing battery life. I love how I'm finally within one ecosystem and makes moving files and multitasking on multiple devices so easy. I thought I'd have a harder time adjusting but it was easy and I love the MacOS interface so much better.

    If you are an IT professional using this laptop for logging into a VDI or connecting to VPN and running most applications, it works super well without any heat or other issues. For my use as an IT professional, I loved every bit of it and the battery life is a big plus. The large screen size with very thin bezels, makes it look sleep for a 15 inch. Microphone and system quality is really great for teams or google voice calls. Noise cancellation is great while on calls. You can have someone screaming in the same room you are in and people woul not even listen to anything.

    Its been more than a week now that I got my hands on this new MacBook Air M2, and it's really a game-changer! Sleek design, lightning-fast performance, and the Retina display is a visual feast. The M2 chip delivers a powerhouse performance, making multitasking a breeze. I haven't noticed it being hot. The keyboard is a joy to type on, and the trackpad's precision is unmatched. Whether you're a creative professional or a daily user, the MacBook is the epitome of elegance and functionality. Worth every penny. Thank you
