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.

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.

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.

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.

An absolute workhorse Mac
Was in an immediate pinch when my DJ laptop finally crapped out on me (early 2013 MacBook Air). It was bogged down running dj software and interacting with hard drives for music and running a web browser in the background and could not keep up for the life of itâ¦. Poof, she finally went.In comes this newest model MacBook Air and by god sheâs screamingâ fast. I was able to run dj software, have a web browser open, interact with a 5TB SSD with over 75,000 songs on it, stream music options through the DJ Software and have the DJ software analyze songs for BPMs, Key, and Stems (a new technology that can Remove vocals, beats, instruments, etc) without ANY ISSUES AT ALL.My first Mac was only a 13in but this 15in screen is well worth the size and space for multitasking and just overall Home Screen space. I just got it a couple of days ago (at the time of writing this) but the battery life is no joke and the entire laptop just looks amazing and sleek. I do love how smooth the laptop opens and closes and itâs not heavy at all. If youâre not interested in Windows then I do recommend this. It serves all my purposes functionality wise when it comes to music edits, cutting, mixing and DJing.The one thing Iâm not entirely a fan of is the material the laptop is made of because it seems to mark up with smudges a lot easier but nothing a quick techwipe wonât fix!If youâre interested in speed, reliability, functionality, high tech features and more, look no further!

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”.

Always Good
I have used Apple notebooks for a long time and they never disappoint. This is an upgrade to a 9 year old MacBook Pro that still works great but can no longer be upgraded. I was happy that Apple had 15â MacBook Air because I needed the bigger screen but not the extra tech of a Pro. The notebook works great and the transfer of data from one the old to the new was simple. Also it was a great deal as I got it during the Black Friday specials. Love the thinness and size of the computer and the battery life is amazing. Should last me another 8-9 years which is why I moved to Mac anyway. Never had a PC last more than 2-3 years.

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 it!

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

All I wanted was speed, didn’t need all the storage. Finger print ID was a surprise.

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.
