    Great battery, Great Screen, Easy to use! I love this laptop, I have had zero issues. Nice build quality and still very lightweight. Had been carrying a 15” windows laptop for years, very heavy in comparison. Would recommend to anyone.

    Great entry level computer for basic tasks. Tried project zomboid on it and it was acceptable. It did get warm but nothing compared to a windows laptop.

    Easily the fastest laptop I've ever owned. Even faster than than my previous PC that cost a lot more. It's more than you need for everyday use. The battery life is outstanding and I could not be happier with my purchase.

    Great service at Best Buy . I found the Mac Air fast, and easy to use. I bought it because I have an iPhone and wanted it to be compatible. However using this computer you can also appreciate it’s qualities on it’s own.

    Amazing computer. Fast, lightweight, and great speakers too. I was thrilled with the Best Buy student discount which, for a brief time in August, was a far better deal than Apple’s own education store. No complaints.

    Not sure why anyone needs the newest M2 Air when the M1 is crazy fast, has amazing battery life, and cheaper. I have stopped carrying a power cord, that’s how long this one lasts.

    Using my new laptop has been so easy and so mheloful with being a first time working mom. I am able to comfortably work from home so i dont have to be away from my child for long days and nights any longer! i will always recommend apple products, if you gave one already you know how simple it is to set up, pair with your other devices and easily save all of your work to each device no matter where you are!

    This laptop is amazing. Super fast. If you are looking for a premium laptop experience, this is a great option. Pros: -Charges via USB-C (No proprietary charging cable) -Fast -Perfect if you are invested in the Apple eco-system -Mac Trackpad gestures are a gold standard. Cons: -Lack of I/O. Just 2 USB-C ports and a headphone Jack. -Not a good solution if you need Windows OS. -not recommended for PC gamers. Apple's "Entry Level" laptop feels higher end. Amazing quality. MacOS is wonderful. If you are considering switching to Mac, I would watch a couple YouTube videos on the differences. It is truly a wonderful experience.

    I actually haven’t bought a new computer in years I will admit. I replaced an HP that still had Windows XP and an Athlon 64. But I do use a 10th gen Core i7 desktop at work. Decided to go Apple this time around never bought one before but used ones back in elementary thru High school dating back to the old IIe. It is very slick and fast and integrates with my iPhone and Apple Watch seamlessly. Going back to Mac OS after many years is really like an old friend how familiar it was to start using again. Also amazing how a fanless machine stays really cool doing basic stuff. I had serious doubts about how well that would work till I tried one.
