    Great computer. I updated recently and I do not regret doing so. The battery lasts a very long time. The computer is also crazy powerful. Not having any compatibility issues with the new chip (Arm based) infrastructure.

    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.

    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 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 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.

    Today I was in search of a macbook for school purposes but i do not have much time driving around looking for my item. Thankfully, best buy, gave me easy access to online searches and also accurate information if the product was available at my nearest location. Once i selected my preferred item i noticed the app keeps a constant display on my phone screen keeping me updated when the order will be ready for pick, and i just thought that was a great idea!

    If you are looking for a decently priced macbook, and are okay with buying refurbished instead of new, this would be your best bet. It works fantastically, and is smooth on pretty much everything that it does. There were little to no scratches, And the feeling of it makes it feel brand new. My only complaint is that it didn't come with a charging block, but that can be solved for about maybe $30. Overall a fantastic laptop for your needs and a great starter macbook.

    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.

    Best MacBook for the money

    Best MacBook you can buy for the money while it’s on sale, $799 on the M1 model is an absolute steal, sure the M2 air may be a newer model with MagSafe, and a slightly better display with the M2 being a Liquid Retina display. however a measly 18% increase in power with the M2 chip shouldn’t be enough for you to spend the extra money. The $300 difference is enough to get the 512 GB model of the M1, or Totaltech (which gives you apple care), and any other accessories you’ll need if you really wanted to spend the extra money.

    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.
