    Our first MacBook and it was amazing. Easy to use and a great price ($750). Great for streaming movies or making your own on iMovie. Great for a college student, but our High schooler couldn’t use it for his online classes because they were window based. Boo!!

    Display is beautiful, small, and light just as I like. This is my first MacBook so this is definitely a learning curve to me as I am used to a Windows system. Still, I am loving this purchase and am glad I decided to splurge on myself.

    Great and easy to use! Within a day I was using iPhotos to edit photos! What a fun experience and great looking laptop. Feels a bit heavier than it looks! Battery did not yet last as long as I was expecting, but I am still new to MacOs. Only recommendation is changing click setting of trackpad. Great out of the box otherwise.

    I replaced an older MacBook Air with this. This has double the memory, double the hard drive, better screen graphics, and the M1 processor. It is really fast. Other features that I like is that when you open it, it is on instantly. It also uses fingerprint access and the battery will last me 2 or 3 days of on and off use. This is my 4th Mac. I wouldn't keep buying them if I didn't like them.

    This laptop is perfect for productivity and the price is right for all the included Apple goodies. We were able to migrate a 13 inch 2016 Macbook Pro will room to spare, and there is a noticeable performance and screen increase. Zoom meetings, MS Office, Adobe Creative Suite, Chrome all run better than on the Intel versions on the old MBP....all on a machine that's half the size.

    From Windows to Mac: A Grad Student’s Review

    I purchased the MacBook Air 13.3" with the Apple M1 chip on December 30, 2022, marking my first switch from a long-time Windows user. For my graduate studies, it has proven to be an excellent choice. The 8GB of memory and 256GB SSD manage R, Python, and terminal tasks with ease. The performance is smooth, and the battery life is impressive, making it ideal for extended study sessions. The Space Gray design is stylish, though the storage might be a bit tight for large datasets. Overall, it’s been a reliable and impressive laptop for my academic work.

    I am always satisfied with Best Buy and it's staff. We have purchased many Apple products. This year alone we have purchased 2 new MacBook Air 13.3" laptops. (So very fast) and a desk top iMac for the office. The MacBook Air we traded our previously purchased MacBook pros. I am so much happier with the MacBook Air. Incredibly fast. Light. I am more than happy with my purchase.

    I recently purchased an open-box MacBook Air from Best Buy and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed with my experience. Despite being labeled as "open-box," the product was practically brand new – everything was pristine and in perfect condition. What's even better is that opting for the open-box option saved me $30 compared to purchasing a brand new one. The MacBook Air's 8GB of RAM is more than sufficient for my needs, allowing for smooth and efficient performance. Additionally, the battery life is exceptional; I can go for two days without needing to recharge, which is incredibly convenient for my busy schedule. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my purchase – it's been a seamless and delightful experience from start to finish.

    Love it. We have 3 MacBook Pros that we use and have had a number of Macs over the years (most seem to run forever, unlike the Windows machines we had). This product is super lightweight, a joy to type on, and amazingly fast. A more basic configuration for travel and lectures (we use loaded MacBook Pros for video work and animation), but still handles power hungry needs quite well.

    Replaced my Lenovo laptop after 8 years and switched to Mac. I should say the speed is much greater than i anticipated and i was able to use it on the run for a while day with one charge. I mostly use this laptop for photo editing and web browsing, which i could use nonstop for 12 hours with one charge. I had everything loaded to the cloud which i can access via iphone. Overall happy with the purchase
