    I recently upgraded from a 2017 MacBook Pro to this one. I'm impressed with the battery life and that it doesn't have the keyboard issues that plagued the previous model. I debated between this one and the new MacBook Pro, but I ultimately got exactly what I wanted. As a remote worker, I can handle all my daily tasks seamlessly and more quickly. My productivity has increased fourfold. I highly recommend this product.

    Love my Mac Air, learning to used some of the features is still a challenge. I’m really happy I invested in this technology for completing my research while I leaving a 39 year abusive marriage. This is the first computer I purchased for me.

    Great upgrade from the MacBook M1

    I upgraded from the M1 MacBook Air 13in unit to this one, and the most significant differences are 1) The screen seems much bigger even though it is not, 2) The battery life is much longer - thanks to the 3 micron tech in the M3. Although the M3 benchmarks 1.6x the M1 for the vast majority of everyday taks you will not notice the difference as the M1 version was pretty quick anyway. Overall I am very pleased with the upgrade.

    I got the desired 16gb version for a good price matched price from best buy and overall I am happy with the purchase. I really wish Apple would get rid of the 8GB versions of macbook now that it's 2024.

    Average Macbook

    Your average macbook, I got it for school and doing work. Screen will burn images in if you set the brightness too high. Luckily it faded after a couple of hours. It has good speed, I like that it connects with my other apple devices and also how light weight it is. The blue color shows up in the light but otherwise will look black. Good for school not good for gaming.

    It's 2024, and I believe you must go with at least 16GB of RAM for your MacBook. The M3 is nice but not that much of a jump from the M1 and not that much different from the M2. Still objectively they made some improvements to the CPu. It's still the lightest and best MacBook apple has made yet.

    Take this over the base Macbook Pro

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    So I went into the store thinking that i needed a macbook pro m3; but could only afford the 8gb RAM model. Loved the amount of i/o connections the display and form factor. BUT if you’re using this as a standalone work computer for things light: surfing the net, light editing, watching videos in hi res; streaming, SIMULTANEOUSLY with zero hickup. This is the one you want. Make sure to go 16gb Ram or higher and buy a sleeve so you won’t destroy the finish while carrying. Battery life is TOP NOTCH btw.

    M3 Air is a great machine.

    I own a MacBook Pro 14 M3 Max as well for my business/work. That stays at home primarily and I use this MacBook Air M3 for travel. I have had the 15" MBA as well. My advice is if you have a true pro level need for your work then get a Pro machine. For the vast majority of people the Air is amazing, For purposes, traveling with it is a breeze. Granted the screen is different from the Pro but it is not at all bad, if anything it is not as bright as I would like but not bad. If you are looking at the air models and you are not traveling extensively or it will be your only machine consider the 15", the speakers are better and the extra 2 inches of screen are great! If you are looking for a travel companion that is easy to pack and fairly light then the 13" is the right pick. There is a lot of talk on the 8GB versus 16GB. Since I have a business that requires 36+ on my Pro Max at home, having anything less than 16 on the go is really not good so I have the M3, 16GB 512. It runs great. If you can afford the extra $, get the 16GB, especially if you plan to keep the machine for more than a few years. It will be well worth it. Does 8GB run for simple things, of course, but if you use Chrome or start to open a large number of tabs and excel or powerpoint then 8GB will swap pretty fast and while it is fast it is not unnoticeable in some cases. For the color, to each their own but I owned the Midnight and it is beautiful but it is a fingerprint magnet. I have the new MBP Space Black and it is better at fingerprints as the new m3 midnight is supposed to be, but not immune to them. I prefer Starlight. It is not boring like silver but not flashy. Just perfect and it doesn't really show that many smudges. I highly recommend the Air it is a great machine for travel, students, and everyday use.

    I have been using iMac and MacBook products since the early 2000's and have never been disappointed the reliability and performance of a Mac computer. I even tried to switch back to a PC laptop last year at a similar price (Lenovo Yoga 9i) and was greatly disappointed with the poorer performance and poor battery life of that laptop. As always, when I turned the MacBook Air on out of the box, setup was quick and easy, battery life has been outstanding in the past month and the performance is at the high level of quality I expect from Apple products. I also use this laptop going through an online MBA program and it works great for all of the classes I am taking.

    My son used to have the HP Omen, and both fans were making loud noises, and one of them eventually died after 2 and a half years. So, we decided to give MBA a try, since people swear it will last up to 10 years with good care. My son loves it. It is very light, super quiet, with very long lasting battery with heavy usage. His old HP Omen only last 1 hour, which is unacceptable. Buy this for your kids asap.

    It's an excellent laptop with a great price including extra for the memory and storage, 16GB and 512GB SSD. The 13 inch is lighter, easy to carry and to take with me when I travel. Outstanding performance and battery life. I love the Touch ID button which lets me sign in to my laptop quickly. I had to buy a USB-C Multi-Port Hub since the MacBook Air does not have an SD card slot to download photos but the Multi-Port Hub works great.
