Incredible Machine
Beautiful hardware inside and out. Lightweight and portable but still incredibly smooth and fast. The latest MacOs runs flawlessly on this MacBook.It has no issues keeping up with me and jumping between VS code, logic, safari, email, etc. handles anything you throw at it.I havenât tried any video editing, but I did play a bit of Civilization 6 and it runs great.Battery life is phenomenal as with all the apple silicon.

Great laptop
Replaced my 8 year old Macbook Pro with this one. 15â is the perfect size for me. Easy setup. Fairly easy transfer of data, etc. from my old laptop. I got the black one which shows smudges more than my old space gray one, but no biggie. Much faster than my old one, and itâs nice to have good battery life again. Highly recommend.

Love, love, love this machine!
My previous Macbook was the 13″ 2012 Pro 750GB; it lasted 8 1/2 years before breaking down beyond reasonable repair. I was financially challenged to replace with another Apple product, so I went for the more budget friendly pc line. Fast forward to today, I was ready to come back to my true love, and with the Black Friday deals from Amazon ($1419.00), I now have a well-built machine that should be good for another 8+ years. I’m a middle school math teacher, so this product’s specs are in the “just right” catagory. Love the ease of use and streamlined user interface. Love the sound this produces. Love the 15″ screen real estate which makes for a better multi-tasking experience. And overall, love how this Macbook Air fits into my life!After receiving my new Macbook, I ended up investing in the Apple Care+ yearly subscription for peace of mind.

Awesome
The glass on my prior MacBook Pro broke. Not worth replacing since the laptop was more than five years old. When I went to purchase a new MacBook Pro, I learned that Apple eliminated the 15″ screen on the new MacBook Pros (I think this was dumb). The 13.4″ is too small and the 17″ is way too big and heavy. The salesperson at a retail store suggested I look at the MacBook Air (Caveat: I do not do any heavy graphics, animation, editing or video/photo work), so the M3 Chip, 16GB, 512GB is more than adequate. I was able to purchase this 15.3″ Laptop with 3 years of Apple Care at $300.00 less than the retail store. This is a terrific laptop for everything. I don’t do any video or editing, so your needs may be different. But I constantly run Acrobat Pro, Excel, Word, and other programs simultaneously and it is fast. The screen is terrific, it has built-in retina display and the images are super crisp. I watch movies on this laptop and I have no issues with the display. If you are needing a new MacBook and the price of the new MacBook Pros made your eyes water, I highly recommend the MacBook Air.

Very nice computer
Let me start by saying I am not Apple’s biggest fan – I’ve always used Dell or HP machines so this one has been a bit of a learning curve for me. With that being said, I am really impressed with this laptop. My daughter and I are the media team at our church where we are responsible for creating announcement videos and presentation slides. The graphics are super clear and the processing speed is amazing. There is no waiting for software to open and having multiple programs open doesn’t slow it down. We purchased a monitor and dock with this machine and it has turned out to be a great system.

Absolutely love it
I absolutely love my new MacBook! Itâs become my go-to device for nearly everything, from work to leisure. The display is stunning, with vibrant colors and sharp details that make watching movies an immersive experience. The sound quality is equally impressive, delivering clear, rich audio without any distortion. Overall, Iâm beyond satisfied with my MacBook â itâs sleek, powerful, and perfect for both productivity and entertainment!

So thin and lightweight, looks amazing, sounds good, it’s my new favorite computer.
I bought this after I got laid off with some of my severance pay because I hadn’t had a new computer in over a decade. Good lord it’s fast! I use it to design 3D printed products I sell, watch YouTube, web etc. the battery lasts longer than all day which is ridiculously amazing. it’s so thin and light I had trouble finding a case that didn’t seem bulky. I ended up using a case for a 14″ laptop that fits snug on it. I love love love that my monitors actually power and charge it, so I can leave its tiny AC adapter in the bag so I can just grab it and GO when I need to. I’ve taken it on trips and it’s so easy to lug around, easy to use on a plane in my lap or the tray table too. Be sure to get yourself a usb-c adapter dongle – I got one that snaps to the side that adds ports and such – only if you need older ports of course. I use it with 3 monitors via a ‘DisplayLink’ hub, that’s the only drawback against this vs the PRO, by the way. You can only run 2 monitors natively, but the display link hub adds a 3rd (and more) and is even portable

Awesome laptop if bought on sale
The battery lasts all day with Internet browsing, Zoom meeting and video watching. No lag with the 16GB model. I bought this on sale for $1500 (16GB/512GB). This is my first Macbook purchase. Only downside is there are no AAA games such as “Call of Duty”.

This is expensive, but it’s worth it if you can afford it and use your computer a lot. The black does get fingerprints on it easily but otherwise it’s perfect so far (a few months of use).

Love my new laptop! It showed up quick, very good transaction. Wouldn’t hesitate to buy from this seller again.

An amazingly slender and light laptop. Of course I haven’t bought a new laptop since 2013 so maybe I am just missing how good new laptops are. Nice keyboard and screen and I only wish Apple would dish these out with 1 TB SSD’s as standard.
