    I love my new MacBook Air. It runs smooth and fast. I was mostly a all in one computer that sat on my desk but now i am more then happy because it is light a slim i take olit around my home and almost anywhere becomes my office space. I highly recommend this model! I am very happy with my purchase.

    If it was full price for a 2020 model, with 8gb of ram, and a 256 SSD, this laptop wouldn't have been in consideration in my search. Best Buy had a great deal on it a month ago. I am already in the "Apple Eco-System" so toggling things between my iPad, phone, and MacBook is seamless and fast, just convenience. The 8gb of ram sounds like a joke in 2023 but if you're just doing some basic tasks, ie; a few safari tabs, notes open, test taking, etc, its not going to slow down, its enough since the OS is great at being efficient with that kind of stuff. The soldered on SSD was also concerning but again if you're not a power user downloading a lot of large files I'm sure it'll last a long time. The battery life is great, I have no issue getting a few days out of it. Build quality is also the greatest I have felt personally and while the keyboard is different that anything I've used in the past (mechanical, brown switches) after a month of use I started to like it a lot. Some other small things I've noticed, its VERY thin, not too heavy in a backpack, speakers are loud and sound great, the screen gets fairly bright and is nice to look at, trackpad hasn't been an issue when using different gestures, touch ID hasnt failed me yet, webcam quality and mic are average. If you can get a deal on it and if you're a casual user like myself, I would recommend it all day. I'm in flight school just using it for basic tasks and it does everything that I need it too very well. The only gripe I've had is the 2 USB-C ports, I guess its something you sacrifice with the form factor. Personally I would've given up a few millimeters of its profile and thinness to get some more ports and ease of use. Keep in mind one is used for charging so you only have 1 open port if that time comes.

    This MacBook is perfect for somebody who’s in school and needs to be on the go. It’s nice and portable and it’s very functional and operates very quickly. I like the SSD drive on it it’s very fast and the ram gives good optimal performance.

    Big upgrade I made from the air 2011 to this one. Love the screen size and has great battery life. Even though it’s bigger it still has the lightweight feel. Only ick is the fingerprint smudges on touchpad and keyboards. Other than that really enjoy the laptop and looking forward to upgrading.

    This is the second one I've purchased now, and thanks to my Total Tech membership it includes AppleCare! Nothing wrong with the first one, I just needed another. The battery lasts me days without having to charge, and weighs absolutely nothing. I love it!

    Runs great. Replaced my old Macbook Air. The keyboard is a little more sensitive than the old Air... but Im getting used to it. Lighter.. thinner.. Screen is good... Trackpad is larger.. that kinda causes a problem for me with my lousy typing form as my thumbs hit it and it causes the cursor to move around.. Battery life seems about the same as the old AIR. So, no noticeably huge improvement as far as I can see..

    Macbook Air vs. Older Macbook Air

    It's basically the same as my older MacBook Air with some pros and cons. The Pros: The touch pad unlock, the speed, the ease of transferring everything from my older MacBook and the headphone jack. The Cons: The cursor moves, but will not click, so you have to do a hard restart. I believe I found a way to correct this as well as a few other annoying things that were easily fixed in preferences. Also, the ever changing charging cord. NOTE: My old MacBook Air was dropped from the sofa to the floor hundreds of times (honestly) without ever having an issue. I once dropped it out of my hands onto a wet asphalt driveway, and never had any issues. Luckily, it landed it's fatal blow just before Thanksgiving, and I got a great deal on new MacBook on Cyber Monday. I think the issue with my older one was simply the battery, but it was time for new one, anyway. I highly recommend it.

    MacBook Air M1, 2020

    Really like the MacBook Air. I like how it connects with my iPhone. Still getting used to Apple's way of doing things after years of using Windows, but I was expecting that. The size is basically a little bigger than my wife's iPad, but I think my MacBook Air is lighter! Great screen. I did buy accessories so I would not be limited by the two Thunderbolt ports; that is a negative, but, again, I knew that going into the purchase.

    First time buying a Mac computer and I must say I am very impressed with this new m1 chip model. Battery life is excellent and will get you through majority of the day depending on your tasks but for the average use it will handle them no problem with some battery left over. Portability is also a huge benefit out of the Air model you can take just about anywhere without it taking up much space in your backpack.

    I hesitated for a long time making this purchase. I kept giving myself every reason to not buy an expensive laptop. But it was worth every single penny. I LOVE my MacBook. The Touch ID is super cool. It starts up right away. Battery lasts FOREVER. And I LOVE the color. And the communication between the MacBook and iPhone is so cool. I can pull up whatever I’m looking up on one device on the other with ease. I’m so happy with my purchase.

    The laptop was in mint condition when opening it, and the speed is so fast. I had a 2015 Macbook pro that was just getting too slow. The difference in everything about this is so much better, from the screen to the gameplay. Definitely recommend. It is also soooo much easier to carry around.
