It’s not my first MacBook Pro, I really like m2 cpu

It’s good I like the size of the computer and the employee that helped us was very kind. Helped me pick out the right computer for college.

As an avid Apple user, I was excited to upgrade to the new MacBook Air M2. However, my enthusiasm quickly turned into disappointment. Here’s why: Sluggish Performance: The M2 chip promised better performance, but in reality, it falls short. The laptop feels sluggish, especially when multitasking or running resource-intensive applications. Simple tasks take longer than they should, and it’s frustrating. Heat Issues: The lack of fans or heat pipes is a major flaw. Under load, the M2 chip heats up quickly, leading to thermal throttling. Even with the cooling fan at full blast, the MacBook Air struggles to maintain performance. It’s like driving a sports car with the handbrake on. SSD Speeds: The base model’s SSD speeds are disappointing. Write speeds are 15-30% slower, and read speeds can be 40-50% slower compared to higher-capacity models. For a premium laptop, this is unacceptable. Battery Life: Despite Apple’s claims, the battery life isn’t impressive. It falls short of the 2020 M1 MacBook Air. I find myself reaching for the charger more often than I’d like. Limited Ports: Two USB-C/Thunderbolt 4 ports are restrictive. Yes, MagSafe helps, but it’s not enough. I miss having more connectivity options. In summary, the MacBook Air M2 feels like a step backward. Apple prioritized aesthetics over functionality, and it shows. If you’re considering this laptop, think twice. There are better options out there.

Build: Trumps anything Windows laptops come up with their cheap plastic or cheap metal finishes. I’ve never had issues with cleaning this laptop and it lasts and lasts Performance: 256GB version for most people will be overpowered to be honest…the M2 chip is a beast. For those worried about the overheating issue and slower read/write speeds: 1. If you’re using this for a professional setting where you need consistent processing performance for longer than 5-10 min with extremely taxing exports/renders/etc, then id just save up for a MacBook Pro since they have fans. For everyone else like me who uses it for emails and daily use, it’s a non issue. 2. The read write speeds are a non issue if you’re just transferring a few gigabytes of data at a time. If you’re a professional and need to transfer hundreds/thousands of gigabytes then yeah it’ll affect your workflow. The only issue I see is that when your 8GB RAM is used up, it’ll utilize the 256GB drive as ram so it could slow down performance, but again this is more professional level of usage (of which I am not a professional content creator). Basically if you’re doing heavy rendering for a job I’d probably upgrade, but for literally everyone else it’s a beast. Battery Life: Pretty much lasts forever and gets more efficient as you use it. It’s magic, really, considering how capable this thing is. It’s something you want to reach for everyday. Design: It’s Apple. I mean what else is there to say. It’s flawless. Keyboard is tactile, lighting is even, weight is kinda incredible how light it is. Speakers: Not as bassy as the MacBook Pro, but it’s still leaps and bounds better than anything you’ll ever get on a windows laptop. They’re fantastic. Screen: Super bright, punchy yet accurate colors, Apple is also at the top of their game with their Retina displays. TLDR: If you don’t game a lot and need an insanely capable, good looking/feeling, durable device that holds its value and battery life like a champ, this is it chief. Windows laptops feel like a kids toy compared to these machines and they’re nowhere near catching up to Apple in almost every regard except for gaming and GPU processing.

The MacBook Air itself is probably a great machine but be very careful with buying "open box" from BestBuy! I purchased this item as "excellent condition" and it arrived without packaging of any sort in a torn-up box, with sticky residue on laptop, a dirty charging cable, and the wrong charger. That's more like "good condition"! Tried to resolve it via Chat, but they send me to the store ... at the store they tell me only the Chat can help unless I want to cancel the order altogether. Best Buy, your customer service is horrible!

I recently purchased the Apple MacBook Air 15" with the M2 chip, 8GB Memory, and 256GB SSD, and I must say it has exceeded my expectations. The sleek Midnight design caught my eye, but it's the powerhouse performance that truly sets this laptop apart. The M2 chip delivers lightning-fast speeds, making multitasking a breeze. Whether I'm running demanding applications or switching between numerous tabs, the MacBook Air handles it all seamlessly. The 8GB of memory ensures smooth performance, and the 256GB SSD provides ample storage space for my files, photos, and videos. The display is stunning, offering crisp visuals and vibrant colors. The thin and lightweight design makes it incredibly portable, perfect for on-the-go professionals or students. The battery life is impressive, allowing me to work for extended periods without worrying about recharging. Apple's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this laptop. The keyboard is comfortable to type on, and the trackpad is responsive. The build quality is top-notch, ensuring durability and longevity. In conclusion, the Apple MacBook Air 15" with the M2 chip is a fantastic investment for those seeking a powerful, portable, and stylish laptop. It's a testament to Apple's commitment to innovation and design excellence. Highly recommended!

Pros: The new M2 chip is pretty sweet - this thing flies through my daily tasks like a hot knife through butter. Major upgrade from the old M1 in terms of speed. Lightweight and slim as always. I can easily chuck it in my backpack without feeling like I'm lugging around a brick. Battery life is insane. I can use it all day without scrambling for a power outlet. Really impressive. No noisy fans whirring away, which is nice. Totally silent operation. The camera and mics got better, so video calls look and sound clearer. Awesome for WFH scenarios. Cons: Still not a lot of ports to work with. Just the two USB-C/Thunderbolt ports and a headphone jack. Kinda limits what you can plug in without adapters. No Face ID for logging in, which would've been a cool touch. And no option for cellular data, so you need WiFi. Can't really customize it as much as the Pro models. Limited configs to choose from. The integrated graphics are good, but serious gamers or video editors might want a beefier GPU down the line. You're stuck with whatever RAM and storage you get upfront since nothing is upgradable later on. Overall, it's a really solid little laptop for everyday use - browsing, Netflix, working on docs, etc. But power users who need more muscle or expandability might wanna look elsewhere. For most folks though, the M2 Air nails the essentials

Design and Build The MacBook Air is incredibly thin and lightweight, making it ideal for students, professionals, and anyone who needs to work on the go. Its unibody aluminum construction feels premium, durable, and modern. The vibrant Liquid Retina display offers crisp visuals, making it a joy to use for browsing, media consumption, and creative work. Performance Powered by Apple’s silicon chips (M1, M2, and now M3), the MacBook Air delivers impressive speed and efficiency. Whether you’re editing photos, managing spreadsheets, or streaming content, it handles tasks effortlessly. The fanless design ensures silent operation, even under load. Battery Life Battery life is a major highlight. You can easily get 15-18 hours of use on a single charge, making it reliable for long workdays without needing to carry a charger. Software and Features macOS runs smoothly, offering seamless integration with other Apple devices. The MacBook Air also supports key productivity tools and creative software, making it versatile for both casual and professional use. Pros: • Lightweight and portable design • Excellent performance with M-series chips • Long battery life • Beautiful display • Silent operation Cons: • Limited ports (only USB-C) • Not ideal for heavy-duty tasks like advanced 3D rendering

Purchased open box new condition and it showed up disgusting. Food all in the crack, finger prints every where, and overall very dirty. I would not consider this like new. I am very displeased.

The MacBook Air with the M2 chip, 8GB memory, and a 256GB SSD impresses with its sleek design and powerful performance. The M2 chip ensures smooth multitasking, and the generous SSD storage allows for ample file storage. The 15-inch display enhances the visual experience, providing crisp images and vibrant colors. The lightweight design makes it portable, while the battery life ensures long-lasting productivity. However, the 8GB memory might be limiting for some power users. Overall, the MacBook Air delivers a compelling blend of style and functionality, though potential buyers may want to consider their specific memory needs.

This is such an outstanding computer! First, this computer has a large, beautiful display. It multitasks very well with easy visibly and a large trackpad for navigation. The display is plenty bright for any need I have thrown at it. The biometrics on this computer work quickly and flawlessly. I loved the M1 Air biometrics, but this seems to be even quicker and I love the full-sized buttons available on the M2 Air models (regardless of size). The sound is plenty loud, crisp, and clear enough. I love that the speakers are actually hidden and I find no fault in sound due to this design. Connectivity is so quick. I am able to open something on my phone and have my AirPods connect easily. Then, I can open something on my computer and my AirPods will seamlessly connect to what is playing there with no work or thought needing to be done on my end. This is such a big computer that is also so light. It is easy to hold, light to carry, and yet it is such a large and beautiful screen making this an absolute beast on the go with portability size, and power. No matter what I throw at this, the battery is able to outlast my needs. I am not a huge power user, but I do watch videos, multitask with various browsers, work with documents frequently, have a video open running in the background, and email running simultaneously at most times while using. This computer has no issue keeping up with anything (even with it being the base 8gb RAM model) even when multiple tabs are also open in Safari and Chrome during additional multitasking. Mac OS Sonoma has made this computer even faster and more versatile with multiple user profiles being enabled, widgets available to be added to the Home Screen, and a vast number of other quality of life improvements. The keyboard is on of my favorites. It is very tactile with minimal travel, so someone like me, who is light-handed while typing, has an easy time typing effortlessly and quickly. While I often use this computer for multitasking with multiple windows and tabs open, a video in the background, and an email or something similar being worked on, I also find that I use this for occasional video and photo editing machine. For someone who does not do this often or professionally, I find this process to be quick and effortless and my computer hasn't even gotten warm while doing these activities (keep in mind, I do light work with both so I am unsure how heavy usage would work in these areas). I haven't experienced any throttling with the workload I throw at it. Years ago, I used to buy Pro MacBooks that struggled with the work that I am throwing at this base-model Air, which handles it all and then some without breaking a sweat. The camera and mic system work very well with my needs. I do Facetime for personal reasons and attend Teams meetings professionally and have had no issue in quality or performance. I can keep going, but overall, if you are a person who likes or is interested in an Apple computer, and you are also someone who has a similar load between personal and professional use.(light photo and video editing, working with documents, streaming content, all while having multiple tabs open simultaneously), I say look no further. This computer at its base spec is so powerful that it handles these with ease and it is so lightweight that it can be taken anywhere without breaking your back or a sweat, and it is so efficient that it will last you days without even needing to pack your charger. Buy this computer!

I recently purchased the latest model of the MacBook Air 15" with the M2 chip, 8GB memory, and a 256GB SSD in the stunning Starlight color from Apple. After several weeks of use, I am thoroughly impressed and compelled to share my experience. Design and Build: The MacBook Air's design is a testament to Apple's commitment to elegance and functionality. The Starlight color is absolutely gorgeous, offering a unique, sophisticated look that stands out from the usual silver and space gray. The laptop's slim profile and lightweight design make it incredibly portable, perfect for on-the-go use without compromising on screen size. Performance: The M2 chip is a powerhouse. Despite its slim form, this MacBook Air handles everything from everyday tasks to more demanding applications with remarkable ease. The 8GB of memory seems more than sufficient for multitasking, and I've experienced no lag or slowdown, even with multiple tabs and applications open. The transition from the M1 to the M2 chip is noticeably smoother and faster, making this laptop a great choice for both professionals and casual users. Display and Audio: The 15-inch screen is a joy to use. The LED-backlit display with IPS technology offers vibrant colors and crisp, clear images. The text is sharp, and the brightness levels are impressive, making it suitable for various lighting conditions. The audio quality is also noteworthy, with clear, balanced sound that enhances the multimedia experience. Battery Life: Battery life is another area where the MacBook Air shines. It easily lasts through a full day of use, which is impressive considering its performance capabilities. This makes it ideal for long work sessions or travel, where charging opportunities might be limited.

The trackpad is generously sized, precise, and supports multi-touch gestures, making navigation a breeze. Connectivity and Storage: With 256GB of SSD storage, this laptop offers ample space for most users, ensuring quick boot-up times and efficient data access. The inclusion of Thunderbolt ports provides high-speed connectivity and the ability to connect to multiple external devices. Overall Experience: Purchasing from Apple was a seamless experience. The product was well-packaged, and the setup process was straightforward, especially with the helpful onboarding instructions. The integration with the Apple ecosystem, if you use other Apple devices, is a significant plus.

Highly recommended for those seeking the latest and greatest from Apple's MacBook lineup.

This computer is pretty much perfect. It's light, it's sleek. Its fast. It's actually made me enjoy using a computer again. I got the midnight color and honestly, fingerprints aren't any worse with this color vs any other color. Yes, they are present, but a quick wipe erases them. If you've read any reviews on these computers you'll hear all of them conclude with this: If you're like 90% of people and use their computer for normal things like checking email, writing, using regular apps, basic movie / music editing. Then this is the best computer for you. Why look anywhere else? The screen is huge. The laptop is light. It looks legit. The keyboard is great. It has a Force Touch trackpad for precise cursor control and pressure-sensing capabilities; enables Force clicks, accelerators, pressure-sensitive drawing, and Multi-Touch gestures The speakers are reasonable. The FaceTime camera is great. If you're life is editing movies then you probably already know that this M2 processor will do the job for you, but it'll come at a cost. The MacBook Air m2 processor is meant for efficiency, but it's not going to export as fast as a pro m2. In saying that..this processor is so much faster than anything in the past 5 years that even if you're used to having a pro computer, and its a few years old, you'll still find yourself with a very capable machine. I was between this and an iPadPro. I went with this because until apple gets its act together an iPad is still an iPad. Anybody who tells you they use it for their daily driver has done a lot work to learn how to navigate the iPad OS to make it work like a MacBook. If you want something cool to look at pictures, browse the internet, do some writing, maybe some call of duty mobile - then get an iPad. If you want a computer. Get a MacBook Air. If you're a heavy gamer, or do a ton of video editing (like your whole workflow) Then get a MacBook Pro 14 air 16 inch. They are incredible, but not something most people will need. My brother does video editing with his M2 machine and it works great. His experience while he edits videos is still super smooth. To conclude. If you're 90% of the world. Just get the MacBook Air. If you can - get the 512gb hard drive. They're faster than their 256gb base counterpart. However, if you're upgrading both your hard driver AND the ram. I think I would just go for a 14inch MacBook Pro. The price difference isn't too much and that 120hz refresh rate on the 14inch pros is noice. But, coming from somebody who notices that sort of stuff, you won't miss the refresh rate on the air. Like you would between an iPad Air vs iPad Pro. **Obviously everyone is different and rightfully has their own personal opinions; all I can say about that is buy the MacBook Air & see for yourself. If you end up deciding it’s not something for you, totally okay. You can return it for a full refund, but if you like it, you will probably end up loving it!**

So I have an Ipad and an Iphone 14 pro and decided, why not get a MacBook? I have been using my jobs old Dell laptop for 2 years because my personal HP Laptop became way to slow, so I thought it was time to give myself an early Christmas gift. I first I debated between the 13 and 15 inch. After looking at them in person, I knew that I had to get the 15 inch. I have to admit, I got a little frustrated at first, but after I took a deep breath and looked up a few things, it got easier and easier to use. I also bought me a wireless mouse which was a game changer for me. I recommend this laptop for anyone thats looking for something sleek, fast, and reliable.
